It is such a tragedy that these places of filth are not regulated like schools, daycare centers or even hospitals. I guess I am a little different I enjoyed my NBC training in the military, but were did it get me at CEC?In bad shape employess not even allowed to ware gloves,just read below:

I took a job as a Tech. Manager at Chuckie E. Cheeses, hoping for a nice quite job, what the hell happened? With in the first weeks of this job, I got the flu, momo, and a server staph infection. The workers comp lady came to see me in the hospital and ask me very personal questions, like what I did I do in the military and was I sexual active, and how old was my son?
I did some checking and these restaurants have been sighted for many, many health violations. I did not have ax to grind with the Chuck but when the GM came in and said to a cast member who had acne bad, you need to shave! I went off! The GM told me that nice guys finish last, and this is a place to take the kids?
Go ahead violate the I-9 forms, while the real Americans stand in line at the employment office.
I use to take my son to the chuck and cut him loose, now, Oh no; we will go to the park, fly a kit before I take him the cesspool of bacteria/virus at the Chuckie….

Another lady told me this:I would never take my daughter here again. This place is not clean and the people that work here are young kids trying to make a couple of dollars and they do not care. I think that this place can be better if they did a re organization. My friend took her kid here as well and got sick from another kid because that kid had pink eye.
Do not take your kids here!

Chuckie E. Cheeses does not use equipment to keep their establishment clean, if you will notice many places like DQ or some BK use Ultraviolet lights. It seems the managers at Chuckie don't know what these lights do, they kill bacteria and some virus, furthermore, it is dark in most of these stage shows, with dim lighting. Also if you will notice that some establishments have a blower when you come in the door not the chuckie...now if you had your choice to go to a restaurant that had a robotics mouse or UV lights which would you go to?
Just take a look at the DPH web site in Fredericksburg Va. the workers are not even alowed to ware Gloves or other personal protective equipment. Even if they have to handle body fluids. And you want these people to handle your food, wipe your table, and work on the ice maker several months back there was mold in the ice maker(DHP), this could have been stoped by UV lights, or seals in the ice maker.
But because they care nothing about safety and health, and 85% of the employee's can't speak good English, these places are a trash heap.
Check the DPH web site before you go to any chuckie cheeses, and I feel you will make another choice.

I'm not sure what Chuck E. Cheese you worked at but ours is much different ( CEC 413, Covina,CA). I'll be the first to admit that CEC is not held clean to the standards of a day care center, or even a hospital. But we do keep the enviroment as clean as possible. Every night the person who closes the gameroom area, (there are typically 2 per night) is responsible for sweeping the floorsand then vaccuuming them, wiping down and sanatizing the games, refilling all the shakers and wiping done the tables (we use a cleaning solution similar to windex.) The cash area which is responsible for the salad bar (I would never recommend anyone eat from) wraps up the crocks and disposes of the ice is required to use gloves, as is the person responsible for cleaning the restrooms. The Sky Tubes also are cleaned at the very least once a week ( I know 'cuz I have to do it) with a heavy duty cleanser after hours, and a window cleaner before we open. The people that serve the food wash their hands before they serve the food and are trained to hold the food so they do not touch the food.
I do know that they are many people that work at CEC just to make a few bucks. I however plan on being there for a while and do my best to make it a great enviroment for every one there. When I am at Kid Check I make damn sure I check every one's hands or orally confirm from the child that they are infact leaving with the person that they came in with. I can't understand how parents can be so lax with their kids that they blame us when they can't find them. In a typical night we are forced to make at least 3 announcements for lost kids (ones that can't find their parents or guardians) It also boggles we how angry parents can get when we ask them to participate in KidCheck just because we wont' let their 7 year old kid run out to the car at 7:30 pm, or that we won't let their 16 year old's friends in with out an adult... Thanks so much for letting me vent all this out.

HAHAHAHAHAH Thats all pretty funny stuff. What the heck is a sky tube? I remeber bing a CEC it was a pretty cool place. can someone give me a Chuck E Cheese pizza crust recipe?:Later

Chuck E. Cheese's is the best place ever to work. I'm sorry that you had one bad encounter as a manager. But it's not our fault that you don't want to put the effort into making it clean. I know for sure that our store is ALWAYS clean and we have never had a complaint about it not being just that. In fact, our store has had 4 comments already this year about the service and cleanliness. I don't know which one you worked at, but they are not all like that.
