    Quoted from PinlordMarc:

    So the one issue with this is that it would likely affect the revenue split that I had proposed between my boss and me since I would be the one in charge of the machine... If an operator put a game in, I'm guessing he would want at least half of the revenue which means my boss and me would get 25% each and I don't think he'd go for that.

    The original post and this makes me think of the Haggis thread where Punkin and another pinsider define self-entitlement. Holy crap, this guy has no clue how the world works. And unionize a comic shop, boohahaaaaa!

    I just read the bar trash thread and all I can say OMG. I also didn't realize OP is the make pinball mainstream guy. This thread now makes perfect sense.

    Are we sure OP is old enough to be working or entering bars?

    Quoted from misterschu:

    I just spoke with OP and he was actually able to convince his boss to get the machine. The boss wanted to support Marc's entrepreneurship so he actually bought the game outright and splitting coin drop with PinlordMarc since he'll be managing the machine.
    Marc asked me not to share the name of the shop since he was worried about himself or his boss getting harassed there.
    Happy ending, I guess (except for all the nay-sayers and trash talkers in the thread).

    This only just a bit starts to make sense if the shop owner is the OP's dad.

    My guess trolling

    I love the bar story where he played sheriff. Likely never been in an actual bar.
