These adults refused to let STOMPer fatfoodie's son play the 'Animal Kaiser' game and were seen hogging the game machine for close to an hour.
Mature adults shouldn't fight over a game machine with kids, says the STOMPer. He says:
"This happened at the Time Zone arcade in Compass Point.
"These adults were seen hogging the 'Animal Kaiser' game machine for close to an hour.
"When we asked if they could let my son play just one game, they refused.
"So sad to see adults acting like that and fighting with the kids over kids' games.
"Talk about social ungraciousness."

What others say about this story ?
"Seriously the game does not bring any value to it. I have seen parents bring their child over to arcades to play such games. Talk about parent-children interaction, they just don't have any since the kids are glued to the screen. Stomper, for grace sake. I think u should be happy from such incident happening to you. Someone is hinting you not to bring ur son to play such games anymore."

"First come first serve mate!! this is the rule! they are at no fault. May be u were not that humble when u asked them to let yr son play one game!! U post just becos they don't allow yr precious son to play???Pl lah!!. Unless the arcade put up a big sign.."Entry For Kids Only" by then u shd not be there too!! LoL! U need a very strong surname to demand for everything and always get it in S'pore..get it?? if not just relax one corner bro!!"

"actually, they are not fighting with your kid for the game, they are the one's who actually already there and playing, and you (plus your kid) are the ones trying to fight them for the game, and when you can't get what you want, you stomp them... you're right, talk about social ungraciousness indeed..."

"People in Singapore are so selfish, like most of the people who have commented in this post. If someone's been playing a game for over an hour, that's just rude. At least let someone have a go and play it for what - 5 minutes? Then you'll be able to play again. Also, don't people learn how to take turns?
No wonder Singaporeans are known to be rude."

""Another stupid parent who think their childern are the god or princes and princess that deserve to have the rights when they cry or they are in wrong , they should have everything they want. People pay to play , they come 1st , they play 1st. Dont you know how to teach your kids that 1st come 1st serve and not everything will plan as what they want to be it. Teach them now or next time they just another bunch of fool generation and maybe just maybe they dont even care about u when u old and cant give or help them anything."

"Just because your kid wanted to play, other must stop playing and give up their seat to your kid?
What if your kid is hogging the machine and other kids wanted to play, what will be your response to that?
First come first serve as long they still have the tokens.. :

"STOMPer, if they are seating there and not playing, fine.
But if they put good money into the machine and play, then anything wrong? Is this game only limited to adults? Or is it because you cannot play and feel sore?"

"It's a public funland where you slot in coins or tokens to play the game. So the other players be it adults or children has the right to play as long as like as long as they continue to slot in coins. Why must they oblige to you? Is it a must that you must fulfill your son's desire to play? Can tell him 'let's play another day?' Can or not? Really wuliao post! "
