try to learn the machines. They really aren't that complicated, I loved working on them rather than dealing with the morons up front.[/quote]

The machines can be quite dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.  Find someone who does to show you where you can step or put your feet and where not to.  I own my own center, and sometimes I would MUCH rather be in the back.  I can usually make the machines do what I want them, but you can't do that with people!!!

More than likely they won't let you work out back with the machines until your 18 due to how dangerous they can be.  I'm not sure if there are state laws or regulations against it though.  It may just be a general rule of thumb in my area.  I've worked in the back at 2 local centers, still working at that 2nd one.

I'll be all set once I figure out how to get this ball to throw itself.  

Unfortunately thanks to some new laws in some states even being near or around beer is illegal.  However, you could get a job working as a pin chaser or scoring assistant. I mean its not a really glamouris thing but its a job.  Working the counter however is a bit of a problem many bowling centers will not allow someone to work the register or be at the counter unless they really know the person. Its just that htey have a hard time with young employees with that much responsiblitie.  Not saying your not but thats what the owners look at.  But I would try as a pin chaser or even a scoring assistant doesnt hurt to ask
