I sometimes take dates to Walmart. A couple of sodas in the little "diner" area and some A+ people-watching never fails for the making of a memorable evening.

Note to Steuss---Don't take Blixa to either Wal-Mart or Chuck E. Cheese on your first date. It may be your last!

In response to Scottie's OP---

No, your expectations were not too high. You paid money to have a birthday party there, and you should have had better service. I would have complained to the manager.

Yes. Well I'm already looking for something better. They were the first place that called after my money ran out, so I have to do something to refill the coffers a bit. LOL

Really I don't care. I don't have any vested interest in the job. I just put in my time, work decently, and get paid.

I just thought of the worst possible combination of businesses:

(hope this is the right link/audio...I don't have sound on this school computer).

If anything Scottie, your thread will make me be a little more self-aware when I visit Nickel-cade. I’m kinda worried now that I’ve bogarted some game and denied a kid access.

Sucky.

lol. what timing.

NATICK, Mass. — A child's birthday party at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in Massachusetts was cut short when a fight broke out between two mothers.

The mother of the 9-year-old birthday boy apparently became enraged because the other woman's son was "hogging" an arcade game, Natick, Mass., police said.

Catherine Aliaga, 38, and Tarsha Williams, 33, both of Boston, will be summoned into court to answer charges of simple assault and battery stemming from the scuffle, Sgt. Paul Thompson said.

Thompson told the MetroWest Daily News that police received a number of 911 calls about the fight Saturday night.

He said what started as a birthday celebration turned into a "birthday melee."

I'd go to Chuck E. Cheese if this happened nightly.
