The fourth shorter story in which I was almost accidentally killed by someone who evidently LOATHES bathroom sinks.
Cleanup is just part of the job in an establishment where people are allowed to lock themselves in a room and excrete bodily fluids. Where there is a bathroom, there is eventually a problem. Fortunately, this problem didn't involve excrement.
I was heading back behind the counter to get a new bar rag when a older burly gentleman came out of the bathroom and directly towards me. "There's somethin' wrong with yall's sinks. I tried usin' it, but it ain't no use and I got to be leavin'. Ya'll need to take care o'thems." He seemed angry. "Sure thing! I'll check it out in a few minutes. Thanks for letting me know! Have a good day!". He turned wordlessly and left.
I sighed expecting to see a giant turd or something in the sink. I walked towards the mens restroom and as I approached, I heard a hissing noise...
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
"What the hell?"
I opened the door, and there was water spraying everywhere... and the sink was smashed almost in half. Seriously. The sink had a giant crack down the middle, the faucet looked like he tried to park on it with a truck and it was spraying water all over the walls and floor. Mind you this was not a free floating sink attached to the wall... it was a sink in a wall mounted countertop. How he managed to split it in half with anything other than an axe is beyond me.
How the hell could someone do this without making a noise?
What was happening with the sink that made him COMPLETELY SMASH it?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!?!?!?!
What was this guy doing? Did he take a piss and then turn to the sink and recognize it as his arch nemesis? "Soooo sink... we meet again... FOR THE LAST TIME!!!" He didn't have anything with him... was he just kicking and karate chopping and shouting "FUUUUCK YOUUUUU SIIIIINK!!!!!!"?
I ran and grabbed a wet floor sign to place in front of the bathroom floor. On the way back, I told one of the cool managers that the sink was broken and water was everywhere. He said "Well shit. I'll be there in a minute."
I placed the sign in front of the door and I went in to further survey the damage. Seriously. What the hell. Water was REALLY starting to pool and my manager wasnt there yet. I peeked under the sink and say that the shut off valve was there. Most restaurants remove the handles so some jokers can't shut the water off. NOT US!
I got on my knees, reached in, grabbed the handle...
*POP*

I woke up a few minutes later soaking wet and laying out in front of the soda machines near the bathrooms with my cool boss kneeling over me and slapping my face.
Not only did I never notice the completely functional shut off valve, I never noticed the completely functional electrical outlet that was on the wall nearly entirely covered by the sink and counter. The water pooling up top was running town the wall, in the outlet, and onto the plumbing.
My helpful self completed the circuit between the wall outlet and the floor.
I suffered no injury other than a small burn on my hand and knee.
I got a free personal pizza.
The murderous stranger was never captured.

My buddy got an internship with the Albany River Rats minor league hockey team.
His favorite part was when he would be the mascot (A Chuck E. Cheese ripoff). The only thing was that he was forbidden from donning the suit inside the Arena . He could only do the rat thing at off-location appearances. Supermarkets and shit.

MAn that's some funny stuff, I can totally relate to the stories I worked at Circus Pizza (whom bought out Chucky Cheese here for a while). Same gig there though.
Not too many stories to tell But the worse was having a butt load of kids running up to you and since I was abot 6'2" my sophmore year in high school they would all run right into a very bad area everytime. So finally I though it would help if I got down on on one knee when they cam out. Nope that was worse it just takes one kid to knock you off balance and fall over then you turn into a jungle gym for the rest.
Later as a manager there I did walk into the back changing room only to find out two lovebird employees Going at it, He was all dressed up in the suit head piece and all. Sadly I had to fire them but damn that was too funny to see.

Same here (kinda). I was primarily a game room attendant and was called upon to do Chuck E Cheese a few times. No exciting stories like yourself though.
I still have my Chuck E Cheese jacket. It was cool because I played pretty much any game I wanted for free back in the day.

Actually, some still do. I don't know how they decide which ones to get liquor licenses for and which not, but I'm guessing it has more to do with how much money and trouble it is to get a license.
The one in Fort Collins sells wine and beer.

This is a good read. Keep the stories coming. More people should do threads like this, even if it has anything to do with games/amusement places or not.
1. i'm glad you survived that electrical outlet/water incident.
2. your stories fucking rock.

Working with the public provides you with many poop related stories. Thank you for sharing!

Glad you got a kick out of, but I'm still a little pissed of about that. It wasn't like there was anything else to do that afternoon...
Were you pitching or catching?
