It’s amazing how many businesses are operated like that. There was an old school arcade near me and it closed down a few years ago because it wasn’t making money, but that was largely their fault, it didn’t advertise itself properly, didn’t sell food or drinks (apparently to protect the machines, which I get, but also at the same time it’s also incredibly dumb) and was only open normal business hours rather than after schools and on weekends.

It got to the point where I was starting to look at taking out a loan from the banks so I could buy the idiot out, because the basic idea was actually great. Then covid happened and that was the end of that.
