EMPLOYEES SMASH CHUCK E. CHEESE'S HEAD WITH SLEDGEHAMMER AFTER FINAL SHOW

In August, Chuck E. Cheese’s announced they would be getting rid of the animatronic bands that had been part of the restaurant and arcade for decades. The popular (?) children’s entertainment chain is in the process of phasing out the legendary robotic rockers in exchange for more “realism and special effects” that kids have come to expect. In a video taken at an Illinois Chuck E. Cheese’s location that was closing, employees are recorded taking turns smashing Chuck E.’s big smiling head in with a sledgehammer. It takes the women in the video nearly two minutes to finally completely destroy the plastic mouse. It is company policy to destroy any branded items – including the animatronic heads – when closing a location.
* “No! I’m still in here!” cried the new employee inside the costume.
* They just passed up a truly excellent Pay-Per-View opportunity.
* It’s company policy to destroy the heads, plus it’s a big morale booster for the employees.
* Usually it’s the parents at Chuck E. Cheese’s that are hammered.
* The other way to destroy it is to tell the kids there are ten thousand game tickets inside the Chuck E. Cheese head. They’ll tear it apart in seconds.
