>Chuck E. Cheese is on the brink of Chapter 11 bankruptcy and talking to lenders to raise money amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal (https://www.wsj.com/articles/chuck-e-cheese-in-talks-with-lenders-about-financing-deals-11591549377).).

The brand’s parent, CEC Entertainment Inc., is nearly $1 billion in debt and trying to secure $200 million in loans, the report says.

The report also says the company has a $1.9 million quarterly payment due at the end of the month.

There are currently over 615 locations in the world, including 10 each in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, according to Chuck E. Cheese’s website (https://locations.chuckecheese.com/search?region=NJ&country=US&qp=New%20Jersey,%20USA&l=en). It’s unknown how many stores are at risk of permanently closing.

A Chuck E. Cheese spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Chuck E. Cheese reported in April that first-quarter sales were expected to be down by 21.9% compared to 2019.

JCPenney, Neiman Marcus, Pier 1 Imports, and J.Crew all have filed for bankruptcy during the coronavirus pandemic, while GNC and New York & Company warned that bankruptcy is a possibility.

It probably serves an immune system function. Look up "diseases of affluence." People with fucked up autoimmune diseases tend to live in wealthier, more developed regions with extensive hygiene measures in place. The human body is a result of millions of years of evolution grown around the need to push back against pathogens with immune responses, and modern hygiene is extremely recent relative to the entirety of evolutionary history.
It's similar to how if you ever did wrestling as a sport back in high school everyone knew that same trick where you push against someone in a grapple and then suddenly release the pressure and throw them in the direction of their instinctive reaction to push back. Biology is a moving system and when you take away a longstanding pressure like constant mild infections all the immune system mechanisms for handling that pressure are left with nothing to push against and slam your own body with inflammation instead.

So each location is running a minimum $3 million deficit? Essentially -$1 million per location per each month of lockdown? I have a very hard time believing each location could possibly be costing them that much. I bet this is some bankruptcy scheme for execs golden parachutes and some investors to pocket cash.

Not sure if you're kidding, but offering delivery service is a desperation move for dying chain restaurants who don't know how to get business from normal customers anymore e.g. Hooters, or all those family diners nobody goes to now that boomers are going extinct.

So Korean then?
I don't know why it's never the Japanese who act like this. You'd think they'd be pretty close to Chinese and Koreans with genetic and geographic nearness and all yet they're so much more patrician and based instead of insecure. Koreans have this bizarre compulsion to pretend they're the center of the world when all their buildings and signs have English plastered on them, they're surrounded by Western chain restaurants, and they all pay to have their kids take English classes on top of the English classes they already have to take at public school.
Also kimchi is a retarded compost pile pretending to be french fries and not some groundbreaking culinary masterpiece. And stop throwing your dirty toilet paper in trash cans. Modern plumbing can handle toilet paper flushed down a toilet. You guys would've been fine early on too if you hadn't needed to convert from squat toilets to stop shitting like the dogs you hate so much and beat to death for the folk remedy for erectile dysfunction known as bosintang. Increased adrenaline from beating an animal to death before sourcing meat from it doesn't actually cure ED. But I guess we shouldn't expect that level of understanding from a nation of people convinced leaving an electric fan running will kill you in your sleep.
