Well, ESPN Zone officially sucks in my book now. We had nothing to do tonight and thought we'd try something a little different and go visit the ESPN Zone. Neither of us are big sports fans, but they have a pretty sweet arcade in the basement and it's a whole lot closer than Dave & Buster's. Dinner was overpriced and not so great and the beers tasted a bit watered down, but that was OK because we were filled up, nicely buzzed and ready to play some games. First we played the skateboarding game, then the snowboarding game. Anne put her purse down in front of the game while she played and I stood there watching. When she got off the game, the purse was gone. I went up to see if it was in lost and found while she stayed down looking for it. Somebody had found it, minus any cash. Needless to say, we didn't want to stick around after being robbed, so we tried to get our game card cashed in (you load up a card with credits that let you play the games instead of using quarters or tokens). They wouldn't let us. Security and two levels of management told us that "I'm sorry, but we just don't do that." They totally acted as if it was Anne's fault for putting her purse down and told us about how this always happens there and that these kids just want to do whatever they can to keep on playing games. And that's supposed to make us feel better and more secure HOW??? So I'm using this blog as a soapbox to tell anyone who reads this thing that you should never go to ESPN Zone.
