    I know people who order pizza from Chuck-E-Cheese? Who goes there for the food? You go for the weird Star Wars arcade game and the scary animatronics

        Yeah those kinds of places can’t survive when working people have no disposable income. It’s part of what’s driving all the isolation and lonliness. All the free third places are long gone except libraries, and many of the paid third places are collapsing because there isn’t enough disposable income going around to keep them open. People stay home and doomscroll because they already paid for the phone plan and can’t afford to do anything else.

          If Chuck e Cheese hasn’t done some kind of FNAF crossover event that’d be really surprising to me, literally money on the table.

        The ghost kitchen is at least priced competitively with other low-rent pizza joints. Last time I went to a Chuck E Cheese the pizzas were like $10 each and worse than Little Caesars.

      There’s some meme about getting greasy cardboard in the dirty robot place where the mascot is a rat but I can’t find it.
