LONG BRANCH - The telephone at Freddies Restaurant and Pizzeria in Long Branch doesnt stop ringing, but instead of a blessing, it is a curse.
The calls are from children nationwide, who want to
know if Freddies is, in fact, Freddys Fazbear Pizza, the
setting for a popular online video game called Five
Nights at Freddys.
The calls are relentless.
We give cellphones to our kids, and we are not paying attention to what they are doing, said Oscar Hernandez, manager of Freddies. One number, for example, he doesnt call 10, 15 times. No, over that. Imagine
one number calling over 20, 30 times.
And multiply that by thousands. Freddies is trapped
in a sea of never-ending telephone calls, and it is hurting
business. The restaurant added phone lines. It shifted
employees around to handle incoming calls. And its
regular customers have had trouble getting through to
place their orders.
