i had worked for Jillian's Charlotte two years ago. Jillian's was the original Dave and Buster's. Jillian's went bankurpt about 4 years ago, and all but 17 Jillian's got bought out by D&B.
Jillian's reopened under new owners and were hit and miss with their success. they been slowly closing stores and are down to 12 stores, after they just closed the charlotte store two days ago.
i left because, it was just when the economy blew up. alot of our business was doing coporate parties and our main business was from wachovia and bank of america, so we lost a ton of business, going from $40,000 to $4,000. we would go nights with maybe 5 or six people in there the entire night. so i left.

I've only had one cup of coffee in my life.
I've never heard of Jillian's.

You think you could handle the change from NC to CO? Climate AND altitude change. But Denver ok, make that Colorado is some nice territory.

yep, added to the fact that none of our games worked, cause they wouldn't give us money to repair them, the newest game was six years old, half of the large screen tv's were burned out, and half of them that worked didn't have a clear picture. only reason i stayed was they could still pay me.

Coooold weather is hard to get used to, but 5,000 feet altitude is not hard at all to adjust to, in my experience.

16 years ago when I started working here (just and I mean JUST out of the Air Force) I would drink 2-3 POTS of coffee all by myself. Now I am down to 2, maybe 3 CUPS a night. Usually that is enough and then I start drinking tea I bring in from home.

Yeah, the altitude wasn't all that bad. I was there for 3 months at Lowery AFB taking bomb loading training.
