Robots for atmosphere

One of the many indignities of working at Chuck E Cheese was being subjected to Pasqually talk. Pasqually was a robot chef who spoke with a stereo typical Italian accent. You know ‘I want ah pizzah pie ah’ it’s like to clicks removed from Sesame street’s the Count. Well in a given shift you would hear the same three or four phrases a hundred times or more. Several of us employees would drive each other insane with Pasqually talk. ‘I gotta bus ah da tables fucker’ As time went on the my inner Pasqually started working dark “I’m ah gonna drink ah all ah da beer, and empty outta da register”

By the way, best thing about working at a place with beer on tap? Drinking beer.

In 1984, the North Dallas Chuck E. Cheese I worked at got robbed on a Sunday night. I missed the excitement, and a great tale to tell my fellow juniors at J.J. Pearce High School, because I didn't work that night. The bandits came in through a back door just after closing time, herded all of the employees into the walk-in cooler and made the manager empty out the safe.

Imagine spending hours and hours locked up in a freezing cooler, hoping somebody would find you before you froze. But I'd imagine the indignity of listening to four more hours the robotic hijinks of Pasqually, Mr. Munch and Chuck E. was even worse.
