Psychology of the Claw

Have you ever tried to win something from one of those machines with the claw?  Doesn't it get infuriating sometimes?

I gave up on those efforts years ago because, try as I might, I just didn't win anything.  I'd rather get candy from a quarter machine - you know, something that's a sure bet.  But unfortunately, at our local grocery store, there is a claw machine right by the exit after you check out. Anna always wants to look at it, and sometimes we do, and I always tell her I'm not even going to try to win a toy because it's futile.

That is, until The Minion came along.
