    My opinion:

    Space the games out for social distancing.

    Only allow a certain amount of players in at a time.

    A temperature scanner would be awesome, check everyone at the door.

    Disposable glove dispensers all over the place. Everyone is required to wear gloves while playing, so no need to put harsh chemicals on the games.

    Play 80's music to remind everyone how awesome everything used to be.

    Make sure the beer is extra cold.

    Facemasks are optional.

    Quoted from EJS:

    I only know one guy who used to sell them

    I miss that guy, he left the world way too early.

    Quoted from EJS:

    I am hoping this all has some sort of silver lining behind it.

    Off topic and sorry, but for me anyway I had never heard of social distancing, and I never knew how many people the regular flu killed every year.

    Things suck at the moment, but if we can all just be careful for a while maybe not only could we get rid of this current mess, but also the flu.

    At the same time I have read every post here from day one, and all the ways people are trying to use fans and other things to help.

    It sucks all the suffering going on from a owner having to close down, and people that still would love to get out to a game room.

    I just hope in the future the silver lining is we can chill out just long enough, to end all the virus stuff and flu stuff.

    (just wishful thinking, too many people just have to jump on a plane anymore and travel a long way).

    It would be awesome if we could all live to be over a 100.

    Quoted from pookycade:

    Never been a big fan of D+B

    Me neither.

    Back when I was getting back into pinball machines and looking for a place to play I was shocked when I looked at their games and seen they had no pins.

    I have been to that place once, around 30 years ago. For a friends party.

    I was drinking banana daiquiris (I was young and dumb), but I swear they mixed the husks or whatever in the drinks, and later I was very sick.

    That one time I was there also ticked me off that little kids were walking in, but they carded me at the door.

    I was like what is up with that, 6 year olds are walking in here and you are going to card me?

    Yeah, it will not hurt my feelings if that place goes away.

    Quoted from LTG:

    I do tech support for two companies.

    Do the 2 companies pay you ok?

    You already help so many people here, if you are just working for free for companies that needs to end.

    Techs in my area get 125.00 minimum for a house call.

    Quoted from LTG:

    I've never got an answer. It's been brought up. But nothing ever changes.

    If they are not paying you well and helping you with what you need that just sucks.

    You may do a lot better to make house calls.

    BUT, I do get it is important to enjoy what you do and money is not everything.

    I wish LTG and all the operators the best!
