having worked on the other side of a cash register, i can 100% guarantee you: there will STILL be people walking in there and saying "where's the arcade?"

“I don’t want the arcade, I’m only here for the coffee”
I don’t want coffee or the arcade, but do you know which way to more games?
Don't suppose you know where the arcade is?
I would absolutely walk in and ask that question to the staff, but I'm a complete smartass.
And people will still miss it. There's a bakery on the other side of the road from where I live that has 5 signs telling people to not force the turnstile before getting a card. Once a month they have to fix it because someone tried to walk past it.
The same thing happens when leaving! They hired someone to just stand in front of it, press the card button and hand people the card.
This is how I would get kidnapped.
My shop is on the corner, with a bar on either side of it. I have not quite as many signs pointing out that i am a game shop, but the number of drunks wandering in looking for the beer is too damn high.
This is like a "free candy inside" rusty white van, but for xenials. At least I think it'd worth it to have a quick look inside.
I'd be curious. I'd also be a bit disappointed if it were only coffee and games. I feel like that should just be the bait.
Signs are probably for the drunken tourists. Looks like one I saw in the French Quarter, likely smells of stale vomit and cheap beer.
