Chuck E. Cheese Bans Gangs!

Chuck E. Cheese Bans Gangs!

Proactive — especially for this chain!

The Chuck E. Cheese in Harlem has posted new rules about attire and weaponry in the place "where a kid can be a kid." The new rules state:

"No gang-style apparel, including but not limited to hats, shirts, buckles, bandanas, towels. No gang-type conduct or behavior, including verbal slogans, greetings, hand signs or intimidation.

"No weapons or tools or any sort whatsoever; including knives, chains, screwdrivers, glass cutters."

But some customers seem to think it's ridiculous because it perpetuates the negative sterotype of Harlem. Says customer Tish Payne:

"It's ridiculous. I don't see gangs going into Chuck E. Cheese's. They probably put the sign up because of the location. It's adding to the stereotype that Harlem is trying to deviate from."

With Chuck E. Cheese's track record though we think it's better to be safe than sorry!
