About this ebook
Jim Govoni takes you on a journey through one of the most entertainingly reckless jobs ever: arcade video game clerk. Not to be confused with a documentary book detailing the Golden Age of Video Games, this book highlights people relations and specific tales of being an arcade employee. Among the topics covered are in no particular order: lying on job applications, slamming games you are angry at, getting drunk and leaving keys in games, destruction of merchandise that is supposed to be sold for tickets, interrupting peoples' bathroom trips, fixing games with whatever materials will be "good enough", ordering prizes based on which items will break the best when hitting them with a hammer, getting arrested for theft, stealing tokens, taking advantage of customers, and cleaning up strawberry-colored vomit.
If this appeals to you, give "Arcade Glory: The Cyberstation Chronicles" a shot.
