I remember back in the old days when you went to an ABS and had a clerk yelling at you "drop quarters!!!" - now in SF, you pay to enter the arcade and no one hassles you. That being the case, since we are paying, the places should be clean. I know there are guys who smoke crack and from time to time the place can get messy from over use, but I have no complaints about the cleanliness of the bookstores in SF. I've seen a lot worse, like a place in Oakland where the bathroom apparently hasn't been cleaned since 1989!
