Whose work has a pinball arcade in it?
« on: March 05, 2013, 08:39:08 PM »
Came across this article and this company has a cool arcade at work

http://www.businessinsider.com/plex-systems-startup-perk-2013-3?op=1


some work places just don't get it thinking they will get more out of you if they treat you like sh*t.

Do you have a arcade at work or do you know of a cool arcade at a particular work place....

My house is filling up so fast, I may have to put my next one (more likely one of my old ones ? STTNG) in my waiting room.

Would you be happy to see a doctor who has a pinny in the waiting room?

I'd love 1 in the Dr's waiting room... especially with the wait times at the local medical centre

Yep I have one at work but just looks like more work to me.

     Have been on callouts to a few Melbourne companies that have Pinballs and arcades set up for the employees in the lunch room which is always good to see

When I was a projectionist all the cinemas I worked had a pinball or two and arcade games on site.
I always put a few coins per week though the pins when I could.
Pity there was no free play for staff.

I have a neo geo 25" cab and a black rose in the front of my shop and up until a few weeks ago a virtual pin out back. Not exactly an arcade but better than nothing :)

no but by the way you guys charge it would be great to be able to bulk bill medical and possibly a pinball shopout or repair. Only kidding of course about your rates.......or was I? How many games do you own  @.@ %.%

I've got 6 at the moment, and still breeding. I think I love them too much for the diseased public to cough all over them though  &&

Maybe I should just put a new WOZ in the waiting room and see if it gets any reaction - maybe they will cure cancer by then #@#

John, If u buy anymore for the house, the wife will kill u.
Thats at least 3 new pinnys in less than a month.lol

Hell yes to putting a Wizard of OZ at your office. Its to entertain the patients whilst they wait for the good doctor.  *%*

This you will get away with, and a tax write off because it is a legitimite business expense for your waiting room.

AND who says the doctor cant come out inbetween appointments and play a game of doubles with your patients. Hell yes.

You will be on the cover of Australias coolest surgeon in no time.  ^^^
let me know when it comes, I will help u set it up.lol
