Another distraction meant to focus the gullible P.W.’d male of the species into abandoning all hope...

Apart from the kids, it sounds exactly like Las Vegas. Only Vegas has even more booze.

No kids running around in the casinos, though. And us degenerate gamblers tend to be better-behaved than the people who engage in wholesome family time at Chuck E. Cheese, it sems.

Imagine the kids sitting around and witnessing all this.

It's better than any damn thing I ever saw there!

...another consequence of the divorce/cohabitation industry. Political parties trying to get the votes of the most common Chuck E. Cheese customers (and those who use public schools as babysitters) won’t get mine.

HELL YEAH there's beer at Chuckster's.

When my bairns were but wee ones, I'd volunteer weekly to take 'em to see Uncle Chuck.

Later, as S.W. Houston filled up with cholos, we came to call the place "Carlos Queso" and it lost some appeal.

In Columbus, Georgia the city was cracking down on strip joints and threatening to pull their beer licenses unless the girls wore pasties. So the Fort Benning soldier boys go from going to a tacky topless bar to an even tackier girlie bar because what is more ridiculous than pasties?!

Meanwhile the beer flows without interference at Chuck E. Cheese kiddie land.

"There's a biker bar down the street, and we rarely get calls there."

CLUELESS COP ALERT

The bikers want no interaction with the police at all which is why you're not getting any phone calls from them you plank.

MY CHUCKY CHEESE MOMENT: While still on active duty with the Army back in like 1990-91, we had a soldier go home to Texas on leave. He blew all his money and did not have gas money back. So, driving back across Texas, he stopped at like five or six exits along the Interstate and robbed convenience stores. In every case, the description given was, a black guy, so tall, so much weight, and wearing a Chucky Cheese T-shirt. Everyone remembered the CC T-shirt. One finally got a tag number and he was traced to Fort Benning, GA where we were stationed. When the cops came to the post to check this guy out, and the commander allowed a search of his room and area, the Chucky Cheese T-shirt was proudly hanging in his wall locker. Busted. Taken back to Texas to stand trial for armed robbery.

I’d say more likely you are dealing with issues of a domestic nature... IE estranged hubby shows up for kids birthday party (or vice versa) that they weren’t invited to and causes a scene.

My daughter loved the place and wanted to take friends along. I thought the food was fine since you simply cannot screw up a pizza to a single guy and his kid. We went at least 2-3x a year. I even met a cute single mother there one time. But I wouldn’t have been able to stand the place if not for the one or two beers.

You have to endure helping a friend host a party for fifteen screaming three and four-year-olds to learn that secret.

Been there, done that.

Never again.
