Adult behavior at Chuck E Cheese

[TLSnell1981]

We have one near us in a nice area. I was "panhandled" there by kids asking me for tokens or soda. Um, no. Go ask your own parents.

I haven't had any issues with adults. Although, I've had kids beg for tokens and money. You say no, but they keep coming back. Surely, thier parents have a clue? Really sad.

There was an incident in Ohio recently where the adults at a kids party got angry that a photo booth wasn't working so they chased the manager into a back room and beat him severely. It was just outside of Cleveland. My daughter has seen the commercials for CEC and begged to go. I relented one day when our school had a snow day and no one else's did. Otherwise we stick to Dave & Busters. Cleaner, nicer environment and the prizes are better too.

He's not a Rat from New Jersey anymore. He officially became a Mouse in 1998 with the restructuring.

There is only 1 mouse, MICKEY!


Every other animated mouse like character is a rat imho. Okay okay, not Minnie.


Honestly, I dislike CEC so the crossover makes no difference to me (in fact I had no clue he was originally a NJ rat!) ... my family jokingly refers to Chuck as the rat. It's all in jest.

Mortimer Mouse? Speedy Gonzales? Mighty Mouse?

Mortimer is mean to Mickey so he's a rat in my eye.

Nope, they're rats. Only one true mouse, MICKEY! Yep, totally biased.

And yes, this is all in jest too. My original post said all other rodents, but I could foresee big trouble with Chip & Dale lovers so I had to edit.

The Cleveland-era incident happened in Parma, Ohio.

I've seen several CEC-adults-gone-wild news stories over the years. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a website for it, kind of like People of Walmart (or maybe a show like Cops).

I love Chuck E Cheese. It's such a bargain compared to places like Dave and Busters. plus, there are always coupons for tokens and food. I get to play with my kids AND I just found out they serve beer. Yes, I had a beer at noon in a kids place. lol But seriously, we go about 2-3 a year and spend about 3 hours playing. (Go when then open!) it's rarely crowded when they open.

Chuck E. Cheese: the third circle of Hell.

Yep. I always hated it as a kid, the characters scared the crap outta me. I can't believe it's still popular.

Also this cause it reminds me of the feelings I had for that hell hole when I was little:

Yeah - I still take my kid there - a couple of times since I started this thread. And yeah there are still adults grabbing tickets during the "Ticket Splash". I took my kid this afternoon, and this time it was an guy (maybe early 30s) just grabbing a bunch right at my kid's feet while my kid was reaching down for them. And I saw this guy had also grabbed ones even when other kids got their hands on the tickets.

I didn't say anything. While it seems patently unfair (like adults at easter egg hunts), who wants to get into an argument (or even a fight) over a few worthless tickets? The value isn't much, but it's supposed to be something fun for the kids.
