(#1) A Girl At A Sorority Party Flashed A Little Boy
From Redditor /u/disgruntled-elk:
I worked at a CEC for three years... I live in a college town, so we had sororities who would book events through us. They'd book the entire party area on a weekday, and they'd never show up until 9 pm, giving them only an hour. They always showed up already drunk, and at our CEC we had a "one drink per hour, per ID" rule. Some would sneak in [substances]. People would [get intimate] in the bathroom...
We would warn parents before they came in, but they'd usually stay anyway. One girl flashed a family's young son at one of these events and apparently thought it was hilarious. Naturally, the store was a [mess] after these events. These... kids would try to [take] and destroy anything they could get their hands on.
We were always at the store into the wee hours of the night, but a lot of people actually liked working these events. They were surprisingly fun to work and we'd spend the night cleaning and sharing stories of the weird sh*t we had happen to us.
(#2) They Saw Lots Of Bodily Secretions In The Ball Pits
From Redditor /u/ginty:
[Poop] and urine in the tubes and ball pits.
So. Much. Vomit.
(#3) The Head Of The Animatronic Singing Chicken Fell Off
From Redditor /u/KatyLiedTheBitch:
My brother used to work there.
Know the animatronic singing animals they have? The head of the chicken (named Helen) fell clean off.
Shortly after, the girl that was dressed as Chuck E. fainted because it got hot as f*ck in that suit.
(#4) Costumed Chuck Panicked When 60 Kids Surrounded Him
From Redditor /u/Bizronthemaladjusted:
I was head game room trainer when I was in high school. I basically walked around the arcade area and fixed sh*t, and when we hired someone new I would train them on how to do simple repairs to the machines, replace tickets, etc.
Well, when you start working there they tell you about the the Chuck E. costume and the dangers of wearing it. Management said if you ever see Chuck E. giving the time out signal, you need to rush to his aid and get him out of there.
Well, one day I'm making my rounds when I see Chuck E. give that signal as he's being surrounded and groped by literally 60-plus children. I run over to help him out, but the sea of kids is thick and unruly. So I start palming kids' heads and faces to shove them out of the way while yelling, "They got Mr. Cheese," which was an homage to an old SNL Eddie Murphy sketch where Buckwheat gets [aimed at]. Anyway, I'm shoving these kids out of the way as they clammer and claw at Chuck E. Cheese.
I end up getting Chuck out of there with the excuse that he's going on vacation. When we get to the back room where they keep the costume, the guy in the suit takes off the head and has a look of panic on his face.
He was literally scared. The kids almost pulled him to the floor. He was so sweaty. He thanked me and never donned the costume again.
(#5) No One Cleaned The Rodent Costume
From Redditor /u/hitchhikingghost_:
We never really had a set person to dress up [as Chuck E. Cheese]; it was usually whoever wasn’t busy. A lot of the guys would spray themselves with cologne after taking [the costume] off, so it was a little like a boys' locker room inside the closet.
It wasn’t a super-disgusting costume because we did spray and wipe it down after we took it off, but it most likely was not clean. The managers were supposed to take it to get deep-cleaned every so often, but I never actually saw that happen.
(#6) They Saw Lots Of Vomit In The Wind Tube
From a Redditor:
You'd be surprised at how often they puke in the... wind tube.
(#7) They Got Tackled By Tween Football Players While Dressed In The Chuck Suit
From Redditor /u/The_DiGital-Hero:
This happened 15 years ago or so. I was designated to be the big cheese himself, a glorious honor (ha ha)... I was one of the only guys that worked there, which meant I was almost always the chosen one... This day a football team was having a party there (10- or 12-year-olds or something). My manager knew what was going to happen to me though.
My young, naive brain only had innocent thoughts about making the children happy. Then the coach playfully tossed me a football...
[A] hoard of 10-year-olds descended upon me in the cramped area between two long tables... [T]hese little demons proceeded to tackle me onto the ground. I thankfully didn’t break anything and kept my head from falling off while being knocked around, but I was [mad]. As soon as they got off me, I... left to go to the back and take off the CEC outfit.
(#8) A Family That Drank Too Much Left Their Child At The Restaurant
From Redditor /u/bfaithr:
My brother used to be the general manager at [a Chuck E. Cheese] and he has a few [stories]. I'll tell the one that stuck out the most to me:
This one family comes in - mostly adults and one little kid (about 4). The adults let the kid play while they drank beer (they do sell beer, surprisingly). Chuck E. Cheese has a limit of... beers per person, but this family was already a little tipsy when they got there.My brother didn't think anything about it... until closing time. The family left the little kid there.
They called the police and somehow got the family to come back. By this point the family was drunk. The family drove there and they were trying to get the kid in the car with them. The cops [detained] the family. I don't know what happened to the kid though.
(#9) A Man Tossed Salad Bar Food Around And Threw A Quesadilla At The Manager
From Redditor /u/lol2034:
This drunk man came in with his family one night, right as I was getting off my shift, and he had a quesadilla in his hand. He proceeded to throw it at my manager, then mess up our salad bar by throwing the food around. My manager was being as polite as she could be, but when she asked him to leave, he threatened to sue her.
About a month later, she actually had to face corporate, but nothing ever came of it because we had video of the guy being a sh*thead. I'm still not sure what possessed the man to do that.
(#10) Employees Had To Go Through Trash To Find A Retainer
From Redditor /u/phantom42:
I worked in the kitchen at CEC back in high school (mid '90s)...
A kid left their retainer on their tray, wrapped up in a napkin, and the family left the table to play games. One of the showroom girls cleared the table, and the parents flipped out and demanded we find it in the trash, which had already been emptied...
We had to dump out the cans in the kitchen and then go dumpster diving. It wasn't found. I'm not sure what ended up happening (manager dealt with that...).
(#11) The Costumed Character Forgot The Head
From Redditor /u/phantom42:
One of the costumed employees wasn't paying attention (hung over) and came out of the back room in costume... except for the head.
Much screaming/hilarity ensued.
(#12) They Found A Used Syringe On A Table
From Redditor /u/yavetze:
My friend used to work at Chuck E. Cheese and was cleaning a table after a birthday party when he felt something sharp in his palm. Turned out to be a used syringe.
He had to get tested for HIV after that.
(#13) Cake Fight!
From Redditor /u/kylwllnw:
Two words: "cake fight."
As in all over people and machines and everything.
(#14) A Dad Did His Son’s Homework While The Kid Played
From Redditor /u/Thoraxekicksazz:
Shortest job I ever worked at.
I did see a dad doing his son's homework while the kid played video games.
(#15) A Woman Drove Her Car Into The Restaurant - And The Venue Stayed Open
From Redditor /u/salb3039:
We never had anyone steal or damage anything of huge value. One time an older lady put her car in drive instead of reverse and drove through the front of the building.
It happened right before I started, but I was told they didn't close that day and stayed open during repairs despite a gaping hole in the front of the building.
