Took my 11 year old and his friend, and they were beginner bowlers. After a few rounds each and them mostly getting the ball in the gutter I went to ask the front desk man if he would please let us use the bumpers. He said: "NO, only for 8 and younger" After the last round and the boys only scoring around 30 points, I went up and and asked (it was a lady this time) if we can do one more round but PLEASE this time with bumpers, and she reluctantly came to put them up and then lectured the boys on how "they are old enough to not have to have them" it was humiliatingly for them and I could tell me son was holding back tears. :( She came over one more time rude about the bumpers with another comment, and then finally we finished the second round and left.
