STOMPer snoozie has seen many children playing arcade game machines at 7-Eleven lately. The STOMPer wonders if the convenience store has become a 24/7 amusement park for them.
The STOMPer said:
"Recently, I have seen a lot of children in 7-Eleven.
"They were not buying things like ice cream but rather, playing arcade game machines.
"Is 7-Eleven becoming a 24/7 amusement park for them?
"We prevent children from going to amusement parks during school hours but now there is a 24-hour gaming place for these children.
"Some were even in their school uniform.
"What is happening?
"What is the purpose of banning children from playing in amusement parks during school hours in the first place?
"Is this a matter of double standards?
"I, for one say that by golly it is!"

What others say about this story ?
"7-11 should not have this machine as the problem is not abt playing game at school hours it the amount of money spend , i saw alot children in school uniform uses their money for lunch to play this game which cost $2 per game.a child can spend alot money in this machine. This machine teaches children to gamble . There are alot of machine like fishing & ping pong ball, which encourage your child to gamble if not stopped ur children would grow be a gambler. For i know government does not object this as long u pay them licece fee , as long as there's $ to take they dont care."

"Kids at 7-Eleven playing arcade games don't annoy me as much as those teens loitering around at night, buy cup noodles/drinks from 7-Eleven and litter around the whole area... "
