Applebee's used to be one of the few chain restaurants we ate at. Not anymore, and here's why.
Down here in FL, I understand the need for A/C. However the applebee's near our (now former) house kept the place frigid. As in, you needed a freakin' jacket to be able to eat and not feel uncomfortable. That doesn't fly with me.
My mom asked the waitress if she could get someone to turn the A/C down. Not off, but down.
After a couple of minutes, a manager came over.
Mom: Did you guys lower the A/C?
Manager: Your waitress asked me and I can't.
Mom: Why not?
Manager: That temp is preset for the waitstaff. You're not the one running around all day.
Me:
Mom:
Mom, After we pay to me: I'm never eating here again.
OK, I know that a restaurant needs to keep its staff comfortable. However when it gets to a point that the patrons are complaining, something needs to be done.
His response made it sound like "To hell with what you want" and that's why we don't eat there anymore.
