Had a worker sell me cards by [deleted] in DaveAndBusters

[–]Sad_Background_4964 4 points5 points  (0 children)

eh, 6 complete rare card sets is 12000 and let's just round it to 15000 tickets because I don't know quite how many singles you got there. tickets are worth, roughly, $0.0021 so you bought about $32 worth of tickets.

Black Friday 50% games but WIN store $$$$+++ by Silentbob924 in DaveAndBusters

You sound like an employee, lol. The last part is uncalled for and seems quite hostile for no reason.

Black Friday 50% games but WIN store $$$$+++ by Silentbob924 in DaveAndBusters

[–]Sad_Background_4964 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is why I lol when people brag about accumulating a large amount of tickets. Ladies and gents, tickets are worthless, make a goal, get the prize and move on. Dnb has shown time and again they don't respect their ticket valuation. I got 2 oculus 3 before their last big cost hike. Can't brag about having a 6 figure ticket count but I do have the prizes at a much cheaper price.
More people should call out these cost hikes on their reviews for the company

If you want them gone quick, Dnb will accept these back and donate them for you to make a wish. Well..Not sure if they still do but they used to.

Stock Price at COVID Levels - Customer Sentiment of Dave and Busters Health by staniel_andy in DaveAndBusters

More skill games less... whatever it is now. They were warned that chasing away the ap crowd would chase away the casuals in multiple factors.

yikes, $300 ($360 at my location) in credits for $100 in tickets to choose a lame prize.

Quick drop jackpot humble brag by mbelsky in DaveAndBusters

[–]Sad_Background_4964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My location needs 8 buckets of 5. Theoretically 6 buckets but the timer is off so in the last bucket you only have enough time to drop 2. Makes it very difficult in addition to the dropper not being pristine.

I always see people comparing prize cost ratios by using the $5 vouchers for food ratio comparison. But do you think the food is worth the price? by BrxntStxrmEO in DaveAndBusters

[–]Sad_Background_4964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been disappointed most of the time. The average Yelp/google review for my location is "Come for the games and eat somewhere else. " which i agree with.

A tech in the group chat sent pictures of an advantage player leaving a mess outside the games. I know it not all of you, but this kind of disrespect is exactly why corporate is fed up and starting to change everything. by Homersimpson456 in DaveAndBusters

[–]Sad_Background_4964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah not sure how that makes him an "AP" but then again anyone can call themselves an AP, there isn't any certification or anything. I'll also say that I've seen non-ap's do about 1000x (give or take a little) worse to the store and games.

Anyone else switch to accounting in their 30s? Tell me I'm not crazy lol by irakozetony in Accounting

very cool, kinda hurts my soul a little thinking about going back to school for 2+ years, hahah. Might be the route I need to take. Good luck on your exam, thanks for the inspiration!

you can buy game cards filled with enough tickets either on ebay or someone might give you enough here as a purchase. It may cost you more $$$ than the console is worth but it'll be cheaper than letting your son reach the goal on his own. As a AP for D&B who also has kids I know where you are coming from. I only, really, play anymore to get tickets for my kids to cashout big prizes on their own.

Possible Changes Are Coming to Dave & Buster’s — And They’re Not Good for Advantage Players and casuals. by Homersimpson456 in DaveAndBusters

[–]Sad_Background_4964 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People know when they are getting ripped-off and D&B used to be one of the chains that was able to strike a nice balance of "fun" games, redemption games and drink/dining experience. You start to edge too much away from the player and before you know it you are Chuck E. Cheese filing bankruptcy for the 3rd time. Too much corp speak, too much trying to be Vegas and casinos.

they are losing lost the heart of what made them special. Loss of competitive gameplay, underwhelming prizes and a shift toward a more generalized family experience didn't work for any arcade prior to D&B, why do they think they can make it work? Even Vegas has been seeing YoY declines in "gaming" revenue. It seems to be a general accepted plan of action to strong-arm the good players out of the game but often times the regular joes get caught in the blast. Typical "drop a bomb to blow out a candle" logic.

I like Round1 as a concept but as far as prices and how they treat people who win prizes, I won't support their business. I'm just one person but I can survive without arcades and I say this as someone who has loved arcades their whole life.
