OK, I went to Applebees again, once again I loved the service... food was a bit eh (I asked for between medium rare and medium and it came out basically medium, but still pretty good). The server on the other hand was amazing. He kept on top of the drinks (even offered us pitchers since it was busy and he knew he might not be able to keep up with individual drinks), checked on the food to make sure it was OK, was prompt courteous, and even made sure that everything was right on the bill before giving it to us.
Now the version of events according to the SC behind us.
As he told the manager, his food was terrible, it was cooked wrong (that may have been legit), the server was slow, he never got refills, never checked on the food, and got the bill wrong.
Of course I was confused by this as I could see the SC's table, he had the same server and received the exact same service we did (sans pitcher because he wasn't going through drinks as fast as we were). Of course we all know exactly what scam this guy was pulling, he was trying to get the free meal for bad service play... and of course, manager being spineless, gave right in. I of course made a point to comment to the manager about the great service while I was paying and made sure to pay with a credit card with a 25% tip
