Consider the extensive training a Chuck-E-Cheese character has to go through, as shown in this instructional video where we learn, "Now it's more complicated because you're dealing with imaginary objects."

        <![CDATA[<p><p>Chuck E Cheese has 25 cent arcade games (most other places are a dollar or more for a single play on a game!).</p><br />
<p>I am not for the over-supervision of children these days but the public ball pit is one activity that I cannot recommend. I have heard the horror stories from friends who worked at arcades too, and after hearing about the hypodermic needle that was found in a ball pit I wouldn't let any kid in my family near one.</p><br />
<p>If you must have a ball pit you can actually buy one for your house at Toys R Us and other stores, at least you will know its clean!</p></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Heh - a local Portland weekly just had an issue devoted to the worst jobs in Portland, and being Chuck E. Cheese ranked as one of the worst. (<a href="http://www.wweek.com/editorial/3342/9477/" rel="nofollow">Article Link</a>, scroll down to "The Humiliating Job.")</p>
<p>In high school I dated a guy who had to wear that stupid costume. Did he ever have some horror stories. First and worst amongst them was his admonition to never ever enter the giant ball pit (a pool filled up with multi-colored plastic balls) no matter how fun it looked. You know how little kids feel free to pee in a swimming pool? Aparently the same <i>ewwwwwww</i> factor applies to a ball pit. He said the worst job wasn't wearing the hot, sweaty permastink costume, it was having to dive into the ball pit to retrieve some kid for a waiting parent or have to look for lost possessions buried in pee balls.</p>]]>

<p>"If I child is to approach you carrying a handgun, you should immediately play dead until the child refocuses his attention away from his crime.</p><br />
<p>If a child offers you crack, you must refuse, and do not- under any circumstance- offer any type of illegal narcotic to any child without first receiving permission from the childs parent. <br /><br />
 <br /><br />
In either situation guide that child to the measuring tape on the wall near chucky's spiral slide. Make a note of his or her height. You must also take a mental description of the child to give to the police. "</p></p>]]>
