Fruit Machine Chat

You know when it all goes pear-shaped in a pub, when its "FIRE"...
What are the best (and worst) threats you've had made, or even carried out against you?

I've had a few!

Will add as the thread progresses!

1) On a Lock 'n' Load which I'd done a week earlier in a Ladbrokes...
Staff: "Get off that machine or we'll call security! You're the bloke who made that machine have a BIG LOSS last week!"
Me: "And??????"
Staff: "You're not to play it!"
Me: "Why not?"
Staff: "I'm calling SECURITY!"
Me: "You don't HAVE security!"

Long pause...

Staff: "I'm calling the police!"
Me: "Ok and I'll tell them you see them as a free "security service!"
Staff: "OUT!!! GET OUT!!!"
Stomps around to try to turn power off... basically I am not gonna get to do it!
Me: "I'll send someone else in to do it another time, if you bar him he'll send someone else, etc - just get rid of the machine, its wasted here in this shop!"
Staff: "THIEF! OUT! OUT!"

Called Customer Services, they told me I'm barred from Ladbrokes Nationwide for frauding machines... for some intelligent hi-lo gambles and being able to hit some skills, FUCKING CRIMINAL I AM!!!

Certainly wasn't the most intimidating but certainly very annoying, knowing it was a full up £250 and all...

We found a Spin On It in a pub in Wivenhoe and there was a couple of bodybuilders behind the bar! One male, one female. First pound in, we got "you know what I want and you got what I need" on £3 pears!!! Nudged in lines and prised in the pot.

They came out from behind the bar and told us to take the money and leave! We did without argument! The lady could have probably picked us up and thrown us out on her own but the bloke was huge!

lol, how many more were in that.. gutted.

2) A grotty old pub, nice Can You Dig It, taking the complete piss the way its playing. Me and a mate, big lad, I'm not small myself.. we bought soft drinks admittedly but since when was that a crime? £30 into it using the notey and some mad Irishman flies down the stairs! "Stop it! Stop it! Out! OUT! You're not playin' it, you're not, you're NOT!" This was totally out of the blue, I honestly didn't know what the hell he was on about! I said, "What are you on about!?" He says, "You're not playing it, that's it, you're NOT! I'll get the boys down, they're upstairs, I'll call the boys!" Now he's really pissing us off, he's got his mobile phone in his hand and is trying to make a call... my mate says "Why do you need to call them on the phone if they're upstairs?"
He didn't like that, "Look, its my pub, just get out!! OUT! You're not playing it, I know you, I KNOW YOU!"
He had never seen us before! I'd been in there just once for a drink and put about £15 in it and left as it seemed a bit "fire" in there! We just left, took £12 out of it, £18 loss! Could well have been a really, REALLY nasty pub - crap down, crap street! I'd love to send John32 there! :P

I really hate it when they don't give a feasible excuse. Would drive me nuts.
