How to be Chuck E Cheese...

When I was 16 years old I couldn't wait to get a "real job". A job that'd earn me enough to afford the good life. During my first job hunt, I applied all over town at various stores, restaurants and businesses. One job sticks out in my mind. The job had me thinking,

"They want to pay someone to do that?! It's not even work. I can show up, do the job and make dollars. Too easy, and they've gotta hire me cuz I'm so awesome".

The job I am referring to was working as a mascot for Red Robin. Long story short, I didn't get the job and instead found myself cleaning bathrooms at the local KOA campground. These memories filled my head as I watched the following Chuck E Cheese mascot training video from the 80's. As I viewed it I imagined being a teenaged pimple-faced rookie being escorted to a secret mascot training facility to learn the ways of the Cheese.
