Comment on How do you feel about the removal of tokens from arcades ?
Chozo@fedia.io 2 weeks agoHow’s the person supposed to know there is even anything on the card…?
Because it's an arcade and loading funds is what people do with those cards. Also, those cards are generally accountless, and not tied to any sort of identifying information, so snatching one up and pocketing it is trivial and nobody would give you a second look if you tried using it on another machine.
If my card was taken, which would be empty, I would go seek management and they would use the cameras to fine the person instantly the only realistic end is the person gets caught with a blank card, gets banned and likely get police involved.
This is a wonderfully fake situation that’s easily dealt with to get mad at though lmfao.

People use blank cards for this purpose all the time, and if there’s enough people to justify using tokens in a line. No one is gonna be able to grab a card without being noticed. So there’s a very good chance that someone is gonna be caught and get an empty card.
Yeah… that’s mighty tempting eh?
