It's missing a lot of details please fill in what I'm missing below in the comments, and I'll work the edits in to complete the story. Â Â Here's a partial timeline of pinball in Ann Arbor with some personal memories mixed in. I’m mixed and I never thought I would experience racism or profiling in my life because I am an amazing person and kind soul to everyone I know and love I was a regular pool player too won’t be returning.I came to Ann Arbor for the first time in 1976 and played a few games of pinball at Mickey Rat's, and then spent a lot of quarters during college playing pinball around town from 1985 to 1995. I had to signal the turning motion to start a vehicle so he would let me get them, and calm down still no reason why I had to leave asking me questions about do you know how many students go to U of M? Are you a regular here?.I don’t go to U of M I dress nice sorry you’re miserable and disgusting, and hate your life, don’t waste your money. I shot some baskets and had to leave? I went back to get my keys that I left the owner looked like he was ready to fight. I was waiting for my friend to meet me to play pool? I’m still pondering and don’t know what I did wrong accused me of what? Claiming I used the back door I came through the front, profiling much the owner told me maybe I have bad judgement but I had to leave still, after asking what did I do they explained all my actions like they were watching me like hawks. I wasn’t allowed to use the coin machine? The owner himself was screaming at me about girls that were using the change machine for laundry, and all his life problems threatening to punch me, because I said if the owner was here he would take my money of course I was talking to the owner WOW great customer service bud, I was told I was on my high horse for saying that and whenever I questioned why I had to leave he said don’t interrupt me listen, yet still never explained what I did never told me why I had to leave you don’t like money? I played one game and they refunded me more money then I spent which is cool, but with no one around or in the place? I didn’t make it to the bathroom and my coins were taken out of my hands, still had to pee really bad. My coins were taken out of my hands before I could make it to the bathroom, and was asked did I read the sign on the change machine, and I was asked to leave.
