Was going out to breakfast and I spotted this original Ms. Pac-Man in a nearby laundromat. It's weird to see them out in the wild anymore

Nice! The last one I noticed was at the 4-corners cafe at Atlantic Beach a couple of years ago.

From the home office in Arlington, Virginia, we present:

Top Ten Reasons a Ms. Pac-Man Cabinet is in a Laundromat in 2023:

1. it's what they had and wanted to pit something revenue-generating in that spot that doesn't require loading with supplies
2. They got it cheap
3. It brings in enough revenue to pay for the electricity it eats
4. People playing are bored and want something to do while their laundry is there
5. The owner wanted to show it off
6. His woman said she was sick of "that thing" and he needed to get it out of the garage, selling it would take too long, and rather than throw it away he stuck it in one of his laundromats
7. Parent doing laundry with kids might have them play it so they stop bothering her
8. Customer nostalgia
9. Item to draw in customers
10. Owner put it there, so he could play it whenever he came by to refill the machines needing supplies and empty coin boxes
