The WSJ has an article today about the surprising number of incidents of disorderly conduct and fights at Chuck E. Cheese children restaurants. The piece reports:
“Chuck E. Cheese’s bills itself as a place “where a kid can be a kid.” But to law-enforcement officials across the country, it has a more particular distinction: the scene of a surprising amount of disorderly conduct and battery among grown-ups.
‘The biggest problem is you have a bunch of adults acting like juveniles,’ says Town of Brookfield Police Capt. Timothy Imler. ‘There’s a biker bar down the street, and we rarely get calls there.'”
Hey, Ryan! We know you have special familiarity with the big Cheese. Any theories to explain this?

I have a few theories about this, mostly extending human behavior from other areas and showing how it applies to to the Cheese.
First, have you ever been to a little league (insert sport here) game? Before I dabbled with a pizza/child entertainment monopoly, I was a little-league umpire. Humans get more angry and violent over perceived injustices to their children than to themselves (which an evolutionary biologist would no doubt point out is for good reason).
Second, the one I staffed had 2 groups of people working there: high school students (such as myself) and college students. Since most CEC premises serve alcohol, the college students would often invite their friends to visit them and have a few drinks during the breaks. No further explanation necessary.
Third, point one plus point two. QED.
And fourth, some adults don’t really want to be there with all the noisy kids, so they get irritable, provoking confrontation.
Having said all of that, the one that used to employ me didn’t have any real problems while I was there, but maybe that was an anomolous establishment. That, or I suppose my presence was enough to quell dispute. I’ll let the reader decide.
It is not a good idea for Chuck E. Cheese to — what the heck? BE HAVING A FIGHT W/ ADULTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is all.
