By Walt Hickey Tickets The parent company of Chuck E. Cheese has asked the court handling their bankruptcy filing to destroy 7 billion paper prize tickets that accumulated in the restaurant’s supply chain because of the pandemic, an amount of redeemable tickets that would fill 65 cargo shipping containers, and I assume is finally enough to redeem the skateboard that they keep really high up in the prize pool (MSRP: $49.99). The company said that it will cost $2.28 million to destroy the tickets, which would save them a million dollars compared to the alternative where they have to hold on to them and cycle them through the chain. I applaud Mr. Cheese for his thrift but am disappointed in his lack of guile: 7 billion tickets is enough to obtain 233 million of those parachuting army guys, a mercenary force that would allow Chuck E. Cheese to blot out the very sun itself and redeem not just a prize but mankind itself, ruling not as a king but a god.
