I don’t think my shorter showers are gonna put much of a dent in this.

Likely not. I shower like the Flash, a full scrub down in three sections (Head, Torso, Bottom half) in 1 minute and 30 seconds. But, water is still so damned expensive in Southern California, that it barely makes a difference. Glad the government subsidizes water for the almond industry. /s

Who cares? I mean, I care.

But do businesses really care as long as the services remain cheap and available?

Do normie customers care, as long as services remain cheap and available?
