me: thank you for the interview sir, it's quite an honor
mr. cheese: my pleasure, my pleasure
me: so mr. cheese-
mr. cheese: please, call me chuck
me: ok chuck, thanks. so the rumor is that kids can really be, you know, kids when they're at your place
chuck: it's true; i remember when the first store opened, back in-
me: that's great chuck. from childhood, i remember your place as kind of dark, there were these big scary puppets with blinking eyes that sang every once in a while, you got tickets from playing video games and ski-ball, and there were cheap plastic prizes you could exchange those tickets for. how is it possible that a place like that has survived for over thirty years?
chuck: well, first there's our quality frozen over-priced pizza, made from the finest ingredients, as you can see from this animated poster, featuring myself. we also now give little cups to the kiddos so they can hold their tokens in them, much like adults carry around in vegas. we've opened the place up a bit by having windows installed and the puppets are still here, see? right over there? but now you can see their whole bodies so they're not quite as scary. they still move when they're not singing and their eyes stare at you incessantly, but we've had very positive responses. finally, we have a salad bar for the adults and all games are now only one token.
me: i know my niece and nephew sure love this place. we came here just yesterday and they had a blast. the frozen pizza, plastic prizes, and wierd puppets clearly appeal to them.
chuck: just wait until they get older, they'll have fond memories of my stores, just like you.
me: hmmm, yeah. ok, well, thanks again for your time, i know you're a very busy mouse.
chuck: my pleasure, my pleasure. come back anytime, and be sure to bring your niece and nephew!
