Twice we have been to an automated car wash in SC, and the wash didn't activate after accepting my credit card. And both times the attendant came out, apologized and activated the wash and stated "this one is on me", like he was doing us a favor. The first time I thought it was legit, but after the second time I think it was a ploy to get a tip for a "free" car wash. And yes, both times the charge showed up on our credit card, and no I didn't give a tip.
