Bowled Over

Ah, the good old family gathering to roll someone else’s balls down a lane without having to worry about the consequences. Modern bowling seems a bit overpriced. I suppose these centres use a ton of power. The arcade is also a big draw. They’ve got the latest interactive video games but at double the prices that you’d probably at an independent arcade. There’s also games where you can win tickets to claim ridiculously small prizes unless you’re lucky enough to win a million of them. You can have overpriced food and drink brought to your lane by a genuine minimum wage teenager, or dine after your game if you dare. But thank goodness you can book on-line now. You used to have to queue up for a bowl time then wait around for ages while the kids emptied your pockets of all your change and you can’t see what they’ve been spending it on.
