    Quoted from freeplay3:

    I just stopped by one of my locations trying to hang on by doing carry out only. Ended up putting my games on freeplay for the skeleton crew to play. Feel bad for all the service workers. Now they have pinball to pass the slow hours between lunch and dinner.

    You gotta live up to your name

    Quoted from LTG:

    The governor of Minnesota yesterday extended the stay at home and non essential businesses to May 4th.
    Which wouldn't surprise me if the non essential business closures gets extended.
    And the hits just keep on rolling.
    LTG : )

    If the US is anything like here in the uk the realistic date on these lock downs being lifted is like June / July.

    So many other ways it spreads masks don’t do much in my opinion. We all wear them in the U.K. and it did not stop the second wave at all. Only thing that stops it is to literally stop people leaving there houses.

    Quoted from wolftownjeff:

    They make all the difference in the world. Read something.

    I don’t need to read anything it’s blatantly obvious from just seeing everyone wearing them yet it’s spreading like wildfire. I don’t think they are as effective as people think.

    Quoted from Chrizg:

    [quoted image]

    I’m not complaining and I have zero issue with wearing a mask, I’m just saying they don’t do as much as people think they do.

    Quoted from TheBrewhouse:

    The underlying health issue excuse is such bull. If they actually have an underlying health issue that prevents them from wearing a mask they can wear those clear face shields.

    If something is wrong enough you can’t have a bit of cloth over your mouth your probably the last person who wants to catch this virus....

    Quoted from pookycade:

    If you are I say rebrand
    If gyms are allowed to stay open but you aren’t, put in a dumbbell set
    If the school basketball team is allowed to practice, set up an arcade basketball hoop, an NBA Jam cabinet and call yourself a basketball academy.
    If bowling alleys are allowed to stay open, relabel skee ball Bowl A Rama
    If takeout if allowed, put some hot pockets in a feeezer and set up a microwave and a donation cup.
    This attempt of government to brand risk while Walmart and Lowes are allowed to do whatever the hell they want is just to ridiculous.
    Good luck.
    And I tell ya if I am forced to close again while Walmart stays open with no limits to anything, no changes to air handling whatsoever, I am gonna call up our states COVId task force and give someone a piece of my mind.

    We have a similar thing in the Uk where lots of none essential shops are forced to close yet all the big super markets which now days sell everything can remain open giving them a massive advantage over all the little guys.

    Quoted from d0n:

    The pandemic has actually helped our "business". We're not a "REAL ARCADE" and don't depend solely on the arcade to generate revenue. We're able to offer our guests sole access to the private, free-play arcade with their paid overnight airbnb stay. They're the only people in the arcade while they're here. I clean every game between reservations. It is a total covid free and covid safe environment.

    But seriously that is one sweeet arcade id deffo choose that AirBNB over another because of that private arcade all day long lol.
