>>19718511
this has to be a fucking meme. Who in their right mind has 170k in Chuck e Cheese. Gambling on Chuk e Cheese tokens seriously?

>>19718511
UBT and VIDT holders BTFO

>>19718577
Most of the people on biz are gambling on some variant of a chuck e cheeze token

>>19718555
checked and kekked

You know what this means? Its stock will triple in premarket.

>>19718511

>>19718511
>Chuck E. Cheese social media tranny posts about Bitcoin being a scam
>Chuck E. Cheese subsequently goes bankrupt

Lmao

I'm losing so much money wtffffff... if it doesn't go back up I'll owe my grandpa like 230k FUCKKK

>>19718533
Checked for truth.

>>19718511
I'm surprised they lasted this long. Since when do rats and pizza go together anyway? Does seeing a fucking rat near your food make you want a slice of pizza? Didn't think so

>>19718511
these are the retards who make fun of crypto investors and calls crypto chuck e cheese tokens

These fucks killed the far superior Discovery Zone. Good riddance.

I lived near a Chuck E Cheese years ago. Literally cops and ambulances there almost every weekend.

SON OF A GUN! 340k DOWN THE DRAIN! CHUCK E CHEESE WAS CLASSIC AFFORDABLE FAMILY FRIENDLY ENTERTAINMENT WHERE YOU COULD PLAY GAMES AND HAVE A SLICE OF PIZZA AND AN ICE COLD COKERENO. I DON'T KNOW BUCKAROOS BUT SOMETHINGS GOTTA GIVE

>>19718533
this is the top comment on every single local news article that says x store is closing. doesnt matter if it's a manufacturer, restaurant, retail, commercial office center, mall, etc...every single of them has some fag like you making an excuse like every business shutting down immediately right now was foretold eons ago and this is all according to plan.

John's is better

>>19719318
maybe because the stores closing now have been shitty for a long time

>>19718533

Lol same, 33yo boomer here. I even went to a birthday party there last year and legit nothing has changed since the 90's, they still have those uncanny valley robo band playing the same songs, and their pizza isn't good. The kids still seemed to love it though

>>19719318
It’s pushing the businesses who were already hanging on for dear life into their grave. Open your eyes and stop thinking that people are being smug. Find the shared commonality.

>>19719396
So (presumed) bankruptcy at this time was gonna happen anyway? It wasn't gonna happen months or years down the road? There was no plan to restructure?

Writing off every business closure as "oh well, this was bound to happen" is pretty damn ignorant. There are contingency plans for poor performance, but right now, businesses can't go forward with them so they just shut down. Never had a chance.

>>19718511
Why are they having a hard time? They have really fucking good pizza.

>>19719515
>Why are they having a hard time?

All the kids there

>>19719493
ok desu i have no clue only heard of chuckecheese when its tokens were compared to bitcoin on this board all the time through '17, im not even american dont even know why i reacted

Hi /r/wallstreetbets!

>>19718511

>>19718511
This is actually kind of depressing.
Used to go to Chuck e cheeses a lot as a little kid...

The main issue here is that businesses struggle all the time, even last year when stocks had never been higher. It's common, and that's why business leaders are highly compensated. However, we are currently in a situation where business is highly restricted by way of holding business licenses at threat of revocation ("if you open up your establishment, we the govt will forcibly close you down with police presence"), threat of jail, and new loans are generally less accessible than previously (though i believe refinancing is pretty damn easy right now).

Yes some businesses shut down, but not to the extent we're seeing now. People should be more worried instead of trying to rationalize everything going away.

>>19718757

stinkin hunk of grape ape
whoa whoa whoa

>>19718511
ohhh nooooo, bitcoin is going down? lol

>>19719717
oh no not the corporations

>>19719318
Well, considering OP said he put 170k into a shuffling corpse of a company that has been miraculously avoiding liquidation for about 20 years, in this case that comment is justified.

Its like complaining about losing your investment in POGs after buying them in 2000. You knew it was toast, why did you pick it up?

>>19720291
it could have always made a comeback. kids love games and pizza and parents love cheap. my grandma took me there when i was a kid and i got stuck in the ballpit, i didnt get the hype

>>19718511
After ten years in the military and another ten fixing businesses, I was hired to turn around another struggling business one year ago. I've turned multiple businesses around over the last ten years and this was no different.
>Kept our staff, did not cut wages, and simply operated more efficiently with higher standards in place (such as requiring employees to be on time). The business began turning after three months and regained profitability and year over year growth.

Here comes COVID-19

Governor strips our right to operate, places ridiculous restrictions on our operations, forces us to close. Lose millions of dollars in revenue and employees are furloughed for two months.
>Resume operations in mid-May
>Happen to employ a proportional amount of African American employees (roughly 15%), have women in leadership, true meritocracy, etc.
>Pay a living wage where the average employee earns $50K+ a year (some much more)
>15% of staff, if not more, refuses to return because they prefer making $40K to not work (report them to unemployment)
>Remaining employees leave their politics at home for sake of the business
>Business now up 30% because the shitbag employees left
Worried that either a) the Governor shuts everyone down again in a month
OR
>A terrorist organization masquerading as "muh freedom fighters" torch our stores
>Hundreds out of work
>Forced to go out of business

"Well, it was a failing business anyways, derp"

Our business was dying due to bad management failing the employees with weak leadership. Now it's not, but it seems everyone is hell bent on burning this country to the ground. Sad.

>>19719292
Based department. Discovery zone was the choice playland of young white nationalists.

>>19718511
>I am financially fucking ruined. I had 170k on chuck e cheese.

>>19718511
how much for one of their TMNT arcade games?

This just feels so fucking unfair

>>19719515
Then youve never had real pizza from NY or NJ.

>muh childhood

Most of you faggots probably haven't been to one in over 20 years, so quit whining.

>>19718511
I bet millenials did this

>>19720727
Yeah, it could have come back. I also could have bet 170 on 00 and let fate decide. Neither is exactly a good strategy, because you're at best running on blind luck, or worse betting against you're own instinct

fuck chuck

7 year olds be blowin smoke and playin league now, chucky cheese is over

>>19719292
This place was 100x than chuckie cheese

>>19719444
Wholesome and nastalgic.
Would rather have an arcade roller ring combo tho. 90s style.

don't worry, faggots will pump the zero value stock just like hertz

just spread the rumor that tesla is buying chuck e cheese

>>19718511
Chuck E. Cheese was the first place where I've been punched in the face. These black kids were blocking the way in one of those big jungle gym tunnels and I said let me through and this black kid that was sitting in the way spit juice in my face and punched me

>>19718511
I typically don't eulogize over social media, but the shock and sadness I feel over losing this artist compelled me to humbly offer a few words in rememberence...

I started having birthdays at a very, very young age. As was the custom in pre-suburban Maryland, at the behest of my parents a dozen or so friends from school and church would join us at Chuck E. Cheese for pizza, games of skill and various proto-gambling amusements followed by gifts, cake, what have you.

Having been a professional musician for a few years now, I can appreciate firsthand not only the strain of trying to sustain a flow of creativity for so long but the rigorous, pretty unexotic feat of physical endurance just getting through a few hundred shows a year, plus all the travel, is. When I consider that this motherfucker was playing up to 5 sets a night all over the country simultaneously i am reminded that, yes, it can be done, and that just by getting on that stage every night and leaving everything up there, I am part of lineage, of a collective imagination that spans the generations. How he maintained that smile on his face, playing so consistently and with such little flash (even though I'm sure some nights he just wanted to stretch out and make it all about himself) is beyond me. Don't forget: this man's middle name was literally "Entertainment".

>>19722546
None of this, however, has anything to do with why I fell in love with this mans playing. Chuck was an interpreter. He didn't write much, outside of his seminal "Happy Birthday" but neither did Frank fucking Sinatra. Like Sinatra, Chuck wasn't "the best". But he had a style, and style cannot be taught; something we tend to forget in this era of manufactured pop stars. Max Martin would've had nothing to do with Cheese. He was a little thick around the waste, and certainly refused to change with protean fads in the culture.

He was never political, but he didn't need to be. Neoliberalism had just left the think tanks and had been deployed in service of combatting the rampant stagflation that had bedeviled the economy of the 70's. Chuck embodied the American ideal of the time while presaging the alternative currencies that we'd see 30 years later.

This man introduced me to music. Though the world may have moved on, the music remains.

Goodbye Chuck Entertainment Cheese

>major magics
>Showbiz pizza
>Caesarland

These places never last forever. Another will come to fill the birthday party void.

>>19718511
>i had 170k on chuck e cheese

Literally lol

>>19718533
Checked

>>19719301
Why are they there?

Dave and Busters is now the place to go and stock to buy

>>19722420
Not totally wrong. Money is a belief system and the same thing can be said to USD.

>>19718511
And to think we lost Toys R Us before this shitpile. Nostalgic feels man.

i got raped in a chuck e cheese in florida when i was 8

>>19719612
Same, it was also depressing to see Toys R Us close, America is being dismantled before our eyes.

>>19723137
You serious dude? Because if so I am just here to tell you you're a good person and you didn't deserve that and the person who did that is a scumbag. You ok?

>>19719292
Holy shit i remember discovery zone

>>19723137
thank you for sharing anon
Now, does anyone else have anything to add over their Chuck E Cheese Nightmares, or, should we just finish on that note?

>>19719292
Yes DZ was fantastic.

>>19723939

>>19722420
No one gives a fuck about your internet funny money dude, we are talking about a one-time king of entertainment

i had 3 black kids follow me around in galaxy games and golf but idk why, they were black and ive hated niggers ever since then

>>19718511
Bro they were apparentl reshaping and reheating pizza lmao you can’t recover from that it was apparently a nationwide practice

>>19719444
>they still have those uncanny valley robo band playing the same songs
Fucking hell. I feel so goddamn old now.

>>19719444
problem is there are less kids now days, due to cultural shifts which favor promiscuity instead of faithfulness.

Let's not forget about the four white employees murdered by black man Nathan Dunlap in a chuck e cheese

Wait what is this? They made the chuck e cheese killer a white guy now?

Literally WTF CNN and Google?

>>19718511
>I had 170k on chuck e cheese
