When I was quite young, Eastern Airlines was on strike. My sister and I literally roamed the entire airport free-reign. Including the arcade.

We’d put the stray carts back into the machines, collect quarters, and spend them at the arcade. This was a very smart business for grade-school kids. Unfortunately, people who already liked making money putting carts back threatened to get us in trouble. So we had to instead rely on the multitude of public phones lined up within all the concourses, ticketing, and baggage claim areas.
Suffice to say, I got to play a TON of arcade games.
