Flippers Arcade & Variety Store

I am a local. I am writing this review knowing many tourist must stop in here on their way to the outer banks. every game I put my tokens into was broken. my son had luck with 2 games. when you walk in you are surprised by how many games they have. don't let this fool you. none of them work. when I took my handful of tokens to the counter to exchange back for my money they refused. I was not even trying to get my tokens back for the games that didn't work. I simply didn't want to put any more money in their machines. I explained to them. they did not care. when I asked if there was a sign stating no refunds they said no but they do not give them. at that point we decided to put our tokens into a machine and spin for tickets thinking this would be the best option. when machine landed on 25 but said 10 and only gave 10 tickets I told the lady and her response was it needs to be calibrated and she walked off with her less than friendly attitude. the only way this place will make money is to keep your money on their broken down games. do not waste your time. it is awful. I have been passing by this place for years. it was a rainy day yesterday and I thought why not stop in and check it out. what a waste. wish I had just passed it by again.
