Like stealing candy from a…. Shit

[RiverDave]

So we are down at a new restaurant called the breakwater grill in havasu. They have a claw machine here and my kids dumped five bucks into that thing in minutes.. lol

So I’m explaining to them that the machine is a hustle, and they have already spent more then the stupid stuffed animal is worth..

But they are insistent.

If any of my kids get a bearitude or student of the week on fridays we all get ice cream. We get ice cream more weeks than not between the three of them.

Anyhow Sierra comes back to the table and says “Dad I will give up the ice cream for one more dollar because I can get this monkey out of the machine.” I say no more dollars..

She says “dad I will bet you five dollars I can get it out of the machine in one more try.” I’d say here’s a dollar you are gonna owe me five. Lol

Shit..

That’s awesome! Apparently the high stakes betting runs in the family.

Watch my left hand as I take your money with my right

 

[stephenkatsea]

We had breakfast there yesterday. Nice place, good food and generous portions. Breakwater Grill. Good people and really striving to do it right. Seems to be a good addition for our south side of town. Looks like they have a full bar. Maybe they could become sort of a Juicy's south kind of place. Don't believe there's any connection between Breakwater Grill and Juicy's. Just saying they appear to have that potential.

 

[RiverDave]

Menu is pretty small but from what I can see at the other tables it looks good.

Place is packed right now so they are backed up.

And she used his own money to hustle him!

 

[JUSTWANNARACE]

I was laughing at the same thing.. and she probably still got ice cream with out using HER $$.

Her hustle is legit!!

They said they're doing their best trying to hire staff right now. I noticed a large "OPEN" banner in red letters on the building that wasn't there yesterday. Parking lot looked pretty full when we passed today at about 11:30. Yes, the menu is currently small right now. They were asking for suggestions for what we'd like to see added to their menu. Full bar, good food, good service, good location. That's a good start.

I friend of mine has some of the arcade machines and says that machine with the claw makes him more money than all the others combined !!

Unfortunately “just one more hand” never works for me in gambling.

 

[Xring01]

All I can see, is that somebody has daddy wrapped around her finger…

 

[RiverDave]

I’d recommend the tacos..

 

[SoCalDave]

LOL. I was at Corporate in Ontario Canada several years ago and a bunch of us were out drinking at this restaurant/bar. One of our team members was a pretty small guy and there was this really big claw machine in between the bar area and restaurant. Any way they called us that our table was ready and we proceeded to our table. Someone asked where Tom had went off to and low and behold as we pass the claw machine he had climbed into it and was in with the rather large stuffed animals. We had to of dropped $50+ dollars in that thing trying to get him out (though he could crawl out on his own). Funniest thing I had scene in a long time. Have pictures of it somewhere that I can't find right now.

RD show them this little trick, you can even point out which ones you want just like Grandma.

At the old sea galley restaurant in Anchorage they had one with live lobsters in it.
Was $2 a try.
I got pretty good at it. Depending on the lobster landscape I rarely needed more than 3 tries to bag one.
They lost money on it I think.
A couple times I got 2 at once.
The trick was to try to just barely snag a claw or appendage and not the entire body.

If you were played that easy for a stuffed monkey, you're in a world of shit when she starts dating.

 

[Mandelon]

That a $20 two dollar toy! LOL

 

[wallnutz]

You got worked. Sad part she is teaching the other two the art of sticking it to dad.

 

[LHC Kirby]

One of my boys has OWNED those machines since the age of 6 - he's 36 now and still wins a prize almost every time.... it's amazing to watch him.

There was a Dennys in the Tujunga area. On Saturday mornings, this old timer would take a look around, and count the kids. He'd go put some money in the machine, and come back with an armful of stuffed bears and hand them out. I saw it a few times. Waitress said he was there most everyday. Retired longshoreman, crane op. Had to be late sixties back in 05.

 

[DaveC]

I remember RD used to hustle pool. Now he is getting hustled.

oh man….how times have changed

 

[Joe mama]

When those machines first came out they were not to hard to win. My dad and I used to work those machines all the time. It wasn’t about the prize, but it was the battle to get it. Good times with2 old guys blowing money on these dam things. We would give the winnings to the little kids watching.

 

[MPHSystems]

She had probably already won the toy before she goateed you into the $5 bet LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Do your kids watch Bluey on Disney Plus? If not, watch S1E19 “The Claw”. It’s short and you’ll be laughing your ass off.

 

[Spudsbud]

That young "Grifter" ran you like a gerbel on a wheel !!!
You should be proud Dad !!
