My 11 year old son got kicked out of the arcade for the first time yesterday. Actually he and my other son, his 7 year old brother both got kicked out.
On of their favorite activities around any coin operated machine, not just arcade machines, but pop machines, or any type of vending machines, is to hit all the coin returns and check them for money. Wouldn't be so bad, but they both have no hesitation in taking it a step further and getting down on the floor and looking and reaching under machines checking for dropped coinage. It's embarrassing as can be for my wife and I when they get on the floor.
Anyhow, my wife took them fishing and on the way home stopped in Gurnee IL to let them look for money in the arcade while she and our daughter went to get something to eat. My older son reported that they weren't in there 20 seconds before they got kicked out. As soon as they hit the floor, the lady behind the counter said "uh-uh" and motioned them towards the door.
My wife's reaction was "thank God I wasn't there". My son's reaction was "this is the first and only arcade that I hope goes out of business". His rational is that he wasn't damaging anything or getting in anyone's way, what is the problem?
20 seconds. So have any of you ever been kicked out faster?
