Simple. The people working there weren't paying attention, much like I was when this happened:
I used to work in this arcade at a nearby mall and we had these two “basketball games” where you got to shoot balls through a hoop and you got prize tokens if a high score was achieved. Think of a device like the one below only bigger, made of wood and metal, and with a plastic divider keeping the balls out of reach until you put money in the machine.
Anyway, one night this ghetto couple with four or five little kids showed up. The parents had me play babysitter while they went shopping, and their kids ran wild all over the place. Well, about 15 minutes later one of the little girls in the group came up to me and said her brother was trapped in one of my basketball games.
He climbed over the plastic divider and couldn’t get out!
I carried him over the barrier and said if he did something like this again he would be kicked out. Shortly after that this kid did the same !@#$ thing, so I kicked him out. When his mom returned she took him into my store and asked me why her son was sitting out in the mall corridor. I told her what happened and she smacked him upside his head and said “Boy, wait ‘till yo’ father hears about this!”
Good times…
That is awesome.
