It's like it's not safe to work at
Chuck E. Cheese anymore.
A teenager dressed as pizza mascot Chuck E. Cheese was pelted with pizza and threatened with a beating by an angry parent who said the mascot wasn't paying enough attention to her child, police said.
Macon police reported that the 17-year-old female employee was dressed as the character — a gray cartoon-like rodent with large front teeth — when a 31-year-old Macon woman threw a piece of pizza at her Sunday afternoon.
It's important to note that it was the
parent, not the child, that had a screaming fit and attacked a kid in a huge rodent costume. Still, I'd rather be pelted with pizza than
robbed at gunpoint.Here's one example where jobs are being replaced with robots and no one is complaining. That woman could have beaten a robotic Chuck E. Cheese from now 'till Sunday, and I don't think anyone would have cared. Or noticed.
