The Violence of Chuck E. Cheese

More than 40 times this year, police have been called to investigate incidents at an establishment, but it's not your ordinary problem-plagued gin mill.

It's Chuck E. Cheese, the pizza, games, and birthday party paradise adored by children. But Chuck E. Cheese has become, at least for some adults, a place where the frenzy of Skee Ball, pizza, alcohol, and manic children translates into emotional overload.

"The majority of the problems come from the adults, family members and friends who are there for the birthday parties", town police SGT Imley said. "It's not the kids".

I live five or so miles from this venue. The calls I hear over my scanner are really unbelievable. It's a jungle out there.

Okay back when I was a teenager we had guys working CC and they would rig 2- 1/4 barrels of beers on a weekly basis. It was kick ass. $5 all you can drink all night at our friends house! Mmmmmmmm....many of those I don't recall.

Only tripping on reallly good acid, then someone would have to tie me up first, and drag me kicking and screaming in there, after that I'd be ok.

You're such a smart ass all the time!

Hey, at least he's consistent!!

It's not the alcohol.

Yeah, right!

[MotleyGirl70]

Tripping on acid and going to CC is NOT a good thing...you should be at a Dead concert for THAT! It's a mad house in there, and I only went there because my friends in h.s. worked there. Ick. All those screaming out of control children.

I was playing softball with my Dad during those times, not rolling around in colored balls!

Just waiting until he gets "suspended" again.

Ain't I a stinker?

Nope! It's the moles! There are too many "Whack-a-Mole" games at Chuck E. Cheese pizza joints! That's it!

OK--enough. Americans must stay away from Chuck E. Cheese (too much violence and crime), WalMart (people will take a baseball bat to you for cutting in line), ChiChi's,......anything else?

Sheesh. Give me a break. Sounds like some journalists need to get busy researching more meaningful subjects and leave this silliness behind.

Put me in a CC for thirty minutes and they would have to call 911 too.

When my daughter was little I made the mistake of taking her to a similar franchise...Discovery Zone, or I as called it, Adult-Torture Zone. The thought of the place gives me night sweats to this day.

In regards to your tag line, "No lightspeed?!?"

I took my children to Chuck E. Cheese ONCE.. and ONLY once. Place drove me insane.. way too much stimulation IMO for kids.
