Big 20 Bowling Center — Local services in Scarborough

We got some of the biggest attitude from a staff that I've ever experienced at this place.

We came here as a group for the first time for something fun and new to do. This place is obviously popular with leagues and the retirees sec. The place is nostalgic and outdated, but we were having a good time.

Then, one of my friends asked for some help with the scoring machine, which is extremely outdated and unintuitive to use. The guy working there basically dressed down my friend for "making a mistake."
