They don’t do real box tops anymore. You just download an app and scan the receipt. No wonder these kids are so fucked up

this is such a boomer-sounding take but Kids These Days will NOT understand the joy of the arcades we had growing up- the fucking card you swipe in the machine has got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING on the token dispenser and the tickets it spat out and the ticket munch and the voucher it would print to redeem your things :’)

It’s probably cheaper in the long run too. But the nostalgia isn’t there anymore

100% much cheaper to operate and 100% makes them more money- it’s way easier to refill the card than it was to get more cash for the machine that gives tokens. it’s really just that damn nostalgia
