There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who will never win a prize from the claw machine, and those who always seem to win not matter what. I have never in my life won a toy from the claw machine, not even close. I have even been known to drop ten bucks trying to get a stupid looking green monkey with stuffing oozing out of a broken seem, just because it was the easiest looking prize to get, and failed. Screaming at a claw machine is unattractive, so I have been told. I think people who win at claw machines should be obligated to win a prize for the ones who can’t. Like a law or something. That’s it, I just wanted to get that off my chest.
