This reminds me of a small business I briefly worked at. A friend of mine's father started an arcade and asked me to help for some days (it was ultimately two stints that lasted from June to August 2018 and December 2018 to January 2019).
The thing was that it was not promoted well at all. This was in area just off the toll road that had a lot of hotels in the area. At a minimum, the owner should have created some type of promotional material that could go in those brochure kiosks. It is possible that they had some type of promotion at the local Comic-Con, but that would have been about it.
I remember that he would get angry that me and other workers would not do given tasks "right". For example, he did not like that I cleaned the windows the wrong way. Apparently, there were smudges left on them from when I dried them. However, I was never told what the right way to clean them was. Ultimately, I got fired when I entered in a $20 purchase from a credit or debit card to the cash register. The purchase was part of a promotion, but I did not know how to enter that in, as I had not been told how and the owner was not there. Once he got there, he started to yell at me in front of people who wanted to make a purchase (but ultimately left, due to not getting service) and, at one point, he lifted the cash register off of the counter and slammed it back down. I was also accused of stealing the money, even though there was a record that a transaction occurred and I had known the owner's family since 2006.
Now, I was paid $10 per hour and there would be days where there would be no actual customers, as in people who paid for something, that would come during my shift. The business had to be losing lots of money and it ultimately closed by the end of March, less than three months after I was fired.
Also, after getting fired, there was a bit of a hassle in getting my last paycheck. Essentially, I had to contact them (I believe multiple times) to get it and it was his wife who ultimately gave it to me.
