Has anyone ever ruined stuff at Chuck E. Cheese's?
I have a friend who says she threw up at a birthday party there once back when she was growing up. Once I went on a school field trip there, and I noticed someone pooped on the floor in the bathroom. Also, my brother once told me he had some friends in high school who got mad at Chuck E. Cheese's and drove their motorbikes through the bushes there and destroyed them.
Broke the joystick on a Super C arcade machine once when I was a kid. Nobody noticed when it happened and I never told my parents about it either.
Is this a thing, or something? I went to one once, probably about 15 years ago, for my sister's birthday, and I remember it being a very uninteresting affair.

It was a way bigger deal in the 1980s at the height of arcade video games. Usually they had something like 30-40 games at any given time. Usually my friends and I would go there to play the arcades once a week after school got out on Friday. We were way too old for stuff like the ball bit, but pizza and video games were always a good enough reason for us.
The chain in general is a ruin. I never really had a good experience any time I went into one

Ah yes, the times when my mother was a teenager and I wasn't even a fleeting thought in either of my parents' minds. Good stuff.
Spent many a day at Chuck E Cheese in the 80's (had 3 within a 15 minute radius of my house). Even had my 8th and 9th birthdays there. Never broke anything, but I learned a trick with the Skee-Ball machine: pull hard on both sides of the ticket popping out just perfectly, and you could get the machine to spit out a hundred more tickets at once. I did crack a rib in the ball pit once.
The Chuck E Cheese's that used to be at Springfield Plaza in Virginia gave you free tokens for getting decent grades. We used to bring our report cards in four times a year to get tokens.

That was a corporate promotion that (theoretically) applied to all of the restaurants in the chain. I remember they had a big ad campaign about the policy when it was first announced.

One of my daughter's friends had a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. The kids then were too young to leave by themselves. It was hell. Loud, pushing, loud, grabbing, awful food, loud.
Do Chuck E. Cheese fights count? If so, get on YouTube and look them up.

Yep. Horrible behaviour, and then there's the kids.
Chuck E. Cheese's, where a kid can get sick! My older brother and I would get sick every time we would go. The tubes where you crawl through are petri dishes for colds.

Got to build the immune system somehow.
I went to Chuck E Cheese when I was 5 or 6. I remember having a good time, but I hardly remember it at all.
Never set food in one. Bunches of kids running around and bad food? Why would I subject myself to that?

I don't blame ya. I wouldn't want to set my food in one, either.

Ha. I need to proofread my posts a little better to watch for typos.
Be sure to proofread your work closely to be sure you don't any words out.
I don't know if they'll even let you in if you don't have a child in your group. The back of your hand gets stamped with a number that matches you with the child.
I never cared much for Chuck E Cheese's pizza. To me, it tastes like Tony's pizza that you get in the supermarket. The last time I sat foot in Chuck E Cheese was when family took my niece to there before her trip back home. I remember their parody of Michael Jackson's Rock with you (We're gonna barb-a-que) LOL!!
I needed therapy after that! :)
Anything at Chuck E Cheese is already ruined.
just my digestive tract.
