Why on EARTH Does Chuck E. Cheese Serve Alcohol?!

Ойын-сауық

Today, I take a look at the state of Chuck E. Cheese in 2022, as well as its history of questionable business decisions, viral scandals, and alcohol-fueled disasters. I hope you enjoy!

    In fairness, there's a lot that I see there that wasn't present in the 80s. It's funny... destroy the memories by slowly stripping the stage of the band, down to a cheesy (no pun intended) single Chuck figure, and fill the place with rows and rows of long tables that nobody can walk around.... And then there's the -people- idiots that sit at those tables... They don't look anything like back then either.

    ​​​@@MadScientist267You forgot : Remove all the fun video games. Last time I went with a friend to his son's BDay at Chuck E Cheese's it only had machines to win tickets. No more fun arcade games at all, well except for one Terminator game that looked worse than a PS3 game and ran at 20fps (in 2018). Where did all the fun video games go ? Sure, those ticket games can be fun and skiiball is always enjoyable but half the fun at Chuck E's was playing shit like Hydro Thunder or the SEGA Jurassic Park game and then playing some Street Fighter.

    I took my son to Chuck E. Cheese’s on his 5th birthday. I hadn’t been myself since I was a kid back in the early 2000’s. I was shocked when there were no tickets, gold coins, animatronic shows, no Chuck himself walking around offering hugs and pictures. They got rid of everything that made Chuck E. Cheese different from your run of the mill arcade. This place was my absolute favorite place in the world when I was a child. Now, my son barely even mentions it. Shame.

    I actually used to work at a CEC in MS. Firstly, I will say, the children were very, very rarely ever an issue. It was almost ALWAYS the parents. Either starting fights, causing scenes, breaking things, or even stealing things. Not to mention the several full on abandonments we had to deal with. I couldn’t tell you how many families we’ve had that were always trying something stupid. I remember this one family that kept saying they never got their food, and accused us of racism when we asked them about the 4 previous pizzas we brought them when they said it before. My manager once refused to serve beer to one woman after she asked to have it served in a paper cup, instead of the transparent ones we served it in, because she didn’t want her daughter to see her drinking. She proceeded to scream, and throw a full on tantrum. In front of her daughter. One of the worse abandonments I remember was this little 4 year old girl. Her parents just straight up left her there. She came up to one of our showroom girls, asking for food. They gave her some water, I made her a little pizza, and once we realized what happened, the manager called Child Services. Another, and the last story I’ll tell was this one mother who told the manager that she was just going to drop her daughters off, and come back later. He pointed to the sign on the check in booth that said that unattended minors would be reported to Child Services. It basically also said we were not a babysitting service. Well, at one point, she managed to slip out past him. She dropped her daughters off at 9am. Both her daughters came to him around 2pm, asking for food, because they had no money. Manager asked where their mother was, recognizing them, and they told him she’d left to go shopping. Police, and Child Services were called, and took the kids. Mom came back to pick her girls up at 10pm. We closed at 9pm, at the time. Manager called the police, and she fought them when they tried to question her. When I came into work the next day, one of the front door windows were shattered from said fight.

I remember seeing ads for the place and wanting to go SO BAD. I explicitly remember watching an ad where a kid did a bunch of chore’s for his mom to convince her to take him to Chuck E. Cheese, and trying that myself. I didn’t really understand why we couldn’t go and would honestly get really upset whenever my mom said “no” by the time I was legally allowed to drive there myself needless to say the place lost all of its appeal.

    Former gameroom attendant and kitchen worker from my local CEC here. The amount of people that believed Shane Dawson was insanity, and I always made sure to explain to anyone who asked if it was true that it wasn't. Honestly, the reason the crust seems uneven at times is because CEC happens to be one of the only pizza joints that cuts their pizza all the way through (seriously, get pizza from any other pizza place and count how many times you have to pull it apart to finish the cuts yourself). That, on top of the garlic spread on the crust, makes the slices slide around on the pans or in the boxes when they're being served. Thank you for coming to my ted talk

    Chuck E. Cheese tokens became an in-joke with one of my friendgroups. Like a little urban legend. They work on a sort of monkey's paw principle. If you flipped a token and wished on it, you would either get exactly what you asked for instantly, or something horrible would happen to you (related to the wish) instead. The problem, though, is that the tokens look the same on both sides. So you wouldn't be able to tell if you won or lost until the change actually happened. I like to think that they switched to the card system after enough people discovered their true power.

    A bit of a correction, Showbiz Pizza actually wanted to keep their original characters because THEY were the ones who received better reception in customer surveys and the press, particularly Fatz the gorilla. They wanted to continue to use those characters, but they didn't own them, they were owned by Creative Engineering Inc, the company who produced the animatronics for Showbiz. For financial reasons, Showbiz decided to use the Chuck E Cheese characters from then on, as they owned them

    Kinda. Chuck regularly placed in the top 10 of "favorite characters" in nationwide marketing surveys, placing around or above Mickey, Ronald, the Flinstones, Barbie and Snoopy, etc. Even in markets that never had a CEC prior, but only Showbiz. His name recognition was untouchable. They used to highlight these studies in the annual reports during Concept Unification. Though, you are right, it was mostly a financial decision, it wasn't completely that. CEC was going to be brought in, the question was what would they do with the rest of the characters. Fatz was the most popular of the CEI characters, so odds were if things hadn't gone south, the band would have stayed the same except Billy Bob would have been replaced with Chuck (is my guess).

They're slow, hard to clean, have moving parts that can break, and they don't cut very cleanly. I used to work in a bakery/pizzeria. I did the pastries, but I could see the pizza being made, and they used the big seesaw type thing. I've also seen that in videos of pizza being made in restaurants. Maybe it's harder to learn, but it's way better once you're good at it. Circular pizza cutters are mostly just for fun.

The employees would replace the coins when paying parents would complain but said they knew but were not allowed to kick people out for theft.

    I'd say FNAF was was a byproduct of kids being terrified by the real animatronic band, not the other way around. I think kids finding them scary was a pretty common experience. I didn't necessarily find them "terrifying" as a child, but I definitely thought they were on the unsettling side. Though I also found them interesting because I liked mechanical things. Modernizing them with CG and a hologram would be awesome! Takes away the uncanny valley effect of the animatronics, and would probably have much cheaper maintenance.

Kids don’t like going out or socializing cause they can do everything from home. Cope harder, old man. By the time that game was made the company was already going under, constantly rebranding, and filled with controversy. That’s why FNAF did so great, they took a pre-existing fear and ran with it. Tell me what other arcades are even around anymore? Everyone has consoles and PCs and nobody wants to eat at family diners, people prefer delivery. The times have changed but go ahead and make this one little videogame out to be some evil big bad set out to ruin your childhood. Edit: If I remember correctly, FNAF even made people talk about Chuck E Cheese when its sales were tanking so if anything the game HELPED the franchise. It’s not Scott’s fault the company couldn’t take advantage of that push and went right back to flopping

I do at least know of one Killer Instinct and at least 2 Terminator 2 Pinball cabinets that were kept by local bars but I wish more places had kept their old cabinets. I first played the old vector graphics Empire Strikes Back game in like 2005 at an arcade that used to rotate old cabinets in and out but I think they closed years ago. So many great machines that could still be with us if they had only been kept.

    Sadly, I never went to Chuck E. Cheese's because me and my family would always prefer Cici's or Peter Piper Pizza. Even though we have pizza bought from Little Caesars, Pizza Hut or Domino’s, it's sad to see that Chuck E. Cheese's file for bankruptcy due to its rebranding and the COVID-19 pandemic which closed all restaurants in 2020. I gotta admit that place was awesome and I remember PBS Kids always sponsoring that place from the 2000s.

    Truth be told, I never went to Chuck E Cheese (except for 2 points) in my childhood, as I always went to Peter Piper instead Nothing against CEC personally, but I was always scared of the Studio C animatronic. Though looking back now, I can’t help but feel guilty that I took those moments for granted 😔

    The one I went to the most as a kid right about 1980 was a *massive* difference to what I've taken my kids to. Soooooooo much better in every way. The full band, a jungle themed "maze" of sorts, more games than anyone could ever play in one visit, and even decent pizza. Now the pizza sucks, the band is gone (usually just Chuck by himself), the game section is rather small, in favor of miles of end to end tables (this the replacement for the "maze"? It's hard to find the way out, I'll give them that)... Just sucks all around. The place is a shell of what it once was. Commercialization and bean counters destroy *everything* 🙄🤷‍♂️

Like honestly, what is the company realistically supposed to do about that besides hire more security? The ones that cause most of the drama are adults. You can't really control full-grown adults that can absolutely fight back.

Most places now start to have security during peak hours or days only, some just have cameras with staff who were barely even shown how to do their job

I still have great memories of CEC. We never had any fights or alcohol problems when I went there. After the early ‘90s I outgrew it, though I did go to my niece’s and nephew’s birthday parties there years later. The restaurants were never the same when I went back for those events, (fortunately they weren’t as bad compared to their much later days).

    I have only seen Brave Firefighters at Chuck E Cheese & Gameworks (owned by Sega). The Chuck E Cheese location modified the cabinet to hold the hoses for the kids. Brave Firefighters is rare due to the hardware. I own an Air Trix machine that runs on the same hardware. The graphics chip over time separates in the connections and breaks the game. I personally have not found anyone that can repair this. Thus, it's easier to throw out. Pod Racer has the same issue.

    As someone who was pretty bummed about the whole power card system replacing tokens and tickets too, I quickly realized it created it's own brand of fun, particularly in regards to the all-you-can-play time, which is just a better deal than buying credits by a longshot. Why? Cuz this lets you tap the card once every 30 seconds. This creates a game of musical chairs almost, where you can either continue to tap the card every 30 seconds during a game's downtime (Which if you master it, can be done during play considering how many games only require one hand at a time) OR you can jump back and forth between games every 30 seconds in order to optimize the amount of plays. It's definitely not the same, but idk I had a lot of fun doing that with my niece and nephew the last time I went. Feels good to get a flow going. Scan Mario kart, don't hit start on it, run over to the big bass wheel, scan it, pump it, run back over to Mario kart, reach over to the basketball machine nearby for other people to play while you're playing, etc. You just gotta go in with the right strategy.

    8:10 Actually, not really. Showbiz Pizza's Rock afire characters being replaced by CEC's characters is for a different cause. Back in the 80's Showbiz Pizza is actually doing better financially than Chuck E Cheese Pizza Time Theatre. That's why Showbiz is the one that bought CEC, and CEC experienced bankruptly at the time. Both Showbiz Pizza and CEC faced financial problems in the video game crash, but CEC is suffering worse of the two. And for Billy Bob being replaced by Chuck E in Showbiz case, it mainly has to do with problems between Creative Engineering(Company who owns the Billy Bob and his friends) and Showbiz Pizza. You see, Showbiz Pizza does not own the Rock afire Explosion characters, Creative Engineering owns the license of the Rock afire characters and they collaborated with Showbiz to make Showbiz Pizza possible. During the merge of CEC and Showbiz Pizza, Showbiz wanted to own the Rock afire Explosion and want to cheat out Aaron Fechter(The owner of Creative Engineering) by not giving him any cent to buy them out of him. Aaron decline the offer and he took the rights of the Rock afire Explosion with him, thus Billy Bob and his friends are axed off out of Showbiz and Showbiz only has the CEC license, thus the Rock afire Explosion ended up being replaced by Munch's Make-Believe Band in Concept Unification. There's a Rock afire Explosion documentary film that explains all of this. But overall, it has nothing to do with Chuck being more popular than Billy Bob.
