Skating towards disappointment

This past weekend left my knees and my wallet sore as ever. Never trust a 14 year old handing out roller skates. On a boring Saturday night, two friends and I decided to go roller skating, little did we know our night would end in a bust. The Texas Skatium, located in Garland, seemed like our best and most affordable bet. Arriving at the location it was obvious why it was so affordable, filthy restrooms, unqualified employees, and not to mention the sketchy customers. Feeling less than at ease, my friend Kaylah and I decided to buy a locker to store our belongings while we skated. Following what we were told, we put 50 cents in the locker and left our things.

After an hour of witnessing 10 year olds get in fights for stealing one another’s girlfriends, we decided it was time to go.

Once returning to get our IDs, credit cards and cash from our promising locker we realized our money was missing. After being ignored by the on site officer, the 30-year-old Justin Bieber look-a-like finally came to the rescue. The owner told us he’d check to see if the cameras even looked in the direction of the lockers. (Clearly having cameras point towards the $2  prize booth was more a priority than keeping paying customers’ belonging safe.) After waiting almost an hour, the owner told us there was nothing he could do but I could give him my number if he found anything out. Of course I gave a stranger my phone number in hopes of the thief coming back and confessing he stole teenage girls’ money…not!

My suggestions would be maybe have the officer keep an eye on things instead of playing Flappy Birds on his iPhone.
