Man, my experience with arcades was so different. We just had a good time, ate some pizza, drank some soda. There were a few assholes, but usually you had one or two really good regulars who were older teenagers who would come in and just destroy anybody talking smack to the smaller kids and they'd show us how to do different special moves and stuff. The best people at the games kinda served as mentors/guardians which was awesome and they'd often spot you a quarter if you just stood around and watched them play for a while.
