When the small grocery store in my area got Super Mario Brothers there were always 4 or 5 people queue'd up and playing it. That store was a basic grocery story but they did cater to youth with expendable change. Lots of the bulk candies; a few different kinds for 5c, better ones for 10c, good mini candies for 25c... etc
Before or after school, that place always had kids spending some change on something. Once the NES became a household item, that store changed dramatically
The corner convenience store had the magazines right across from the arcade machines. You'd okay a few rounds of street fighter or mortal Kombat, then sneak in a pork at the gaming mags before the clerk would complain.
Sneak in a what now
A four pound ham
Have you tried my three ham omelette? It's to die for!
