I want my money back

I never took the time to clip and file coupons, pick up a dropped penny off the ground, or bring my own snacks to the movies before......but now I those things and more. Lately, as I teach my boys the value of money, I realize that I can't just let a dollar float away from me (when it's rightfully mine) simply because of laziness or time constraints. I took the boys to a boardwalk arcade recently. I gave them a limit on how many quarters they could use, and told them to choose their games with care. They chose air hockey, and, after inserting four quarters, found the machine to be broken. Well, with all the noise from the games and the crowd of people in that place, it took me quite a while to track down someone to come over to the machine. Since he said the policy was to try and fix it rather than refunding money, the boys and I had to stand by and wait. Only after 20-minutes of trying to repair it and realizing it required further service would the guy give me back my lousy dollar. Then he walked off without posting a sign saying the air hockey game was out of order. As the boys went on to play other games, I lost track of how many people I saw (from way across the room where I couldn't warn them) put money in the machine, realize it was broken, and just go onto the next game. Which is what I used to do. I never would've gone to the trouble to try to track someone down and then wait around with two restless kids just for a dollar. My, how priorities change!
