So I saw an Ultracade machine at walmart....

I found this pretty amusing today..
I dropped by the local arcade/mini-golf place, Scandia.
There was a converted "ultracade" machine in there.
DEAD! Turned off, with the typical hand written out of order tape over the coin door.
It was the only machine in the place that was non-functioning.
I had to laugh. :)
DrewKaree:
Talked to a friend of the family who covers this area for Wal-Mart (read: a "higher up"). Those "mini-arcades" in the front of the store are more than likely from a game operator in the area, and he said those things almost always cause more headaches than they are worth, so if you say something to the manager and nothing changes, a barrage of letters or e-mails from us will be the most persuasive. Letters specifically, because "it's the consumer going to great lengths to alert us to something unsatisfactory".
That, and because it's such a ridiculously small revenue-stream and such an easy problem to fix ;D
If all of that fails, you are to let me know the information I told you to get, so I can pass it on to him. That's a last ditch thing, though, because he said it'll sound like a vendetta thing if that was done first - at least with the letters and e-mails there will be some record of customer dissatisfaction.

That's not punishing Mr. Ultracade tho. That's troubling an op who's probably already pissed he got snookered into buying that POS. :-\
rchadd:
stick superglue in the coin slot and leave quickly ;)
