Chuck Evil Cheese

This post is going to be short


I just want to elighten the idea that Chuck E Cheese is the most evil place on the planet.


I walked in with 22 dollars in cash. I had a bunch of coupons and my friends and I all bought a bunch of pizza's soda's and tokens for like 80 bucks total.


That was great until we started playing the games.............

Have you ever noticed that when you run out of tokens, you want more, and think that those tokens really didn't last too long? Well the truth is, even though the games are only 1 token, the average game lasts about 5 seconds.

So...........................let's do some math here


5 seconds out of 1 minute is 1/12. Thus you can in theory play 12 games in a minute, thus spending 3 dollars in one minute..as each token costs a quarter.


With 100 tokens, you are in theory only playing for a total time frame of about 8 minutes and 20 seconds.


Those 100 tokens aren't cheap either. 25 dollars can buy you dinner for two at a decent restaurant or you spend less than ten minutes in chuck e cheeses for the same price.



So to make a long story short.




Don't take a credit card into chuck e cheese, you will only hurt yourself more.



An hour and a half spent in chuck e cheese. My grand total spent was 78 dollars and 50 cents

Back to Normal....I think

So this post should be the beginning of the comeback. I hope to start with my regular posts once more......assuming I don't have to sleep for days at a time.


Let's start at the beginning.

I'm Joe, and I work at Waffle House.........AKA........cesspool of crackheads, and drama.

I love my job only on the days I make money, and as selfish as it seems, I only care about the money in my job right now. Yes, there are people I care about, but my goal in working is to make that money and bank it as soon as I can, rather than to make friends

Perhaps this is the key to success in life.

Do we have to make sacrifices in order to achieve our highest goals? Do we have to cut people, places, and things out of our life in order to thrive?

In my case, I believe this is true for several reasons.

In order for me to make my money at work, I need to shut out everything else, and focus on my customer's needs. Now the fact that 35% of my customers don't tip, or they walk out on their bills either means they are too poor to tip, or they are assholes. Yet, none the less I have to put my mind away for 10 hours a night in order to better serve my customers.

What kind of sacrifices do you make?
