March 23, 20223 yr As long as this has no effect on the Bourbon Street steak and the Oreo shake I really don’t care.
March 23, 20223 yr Popular Post The reason you think Applebees sucks is because people tell you to think that it sucks. It’s great food. Same with Chili’s, Longhorn Steakhouse, and the like. It’s no accident that they have locations everywhere.

I haven't eaten at Applebees and Chili's in the longest time, but I don't recall having a bad meal there if you know what to, or not to order. But regarding the OP, their management seems like they suck.

March 23, 20223 yr Nickelback sold over 50 million albums (that's the real number), therefore their music was great. There's no other possible explanation. I don't get the hate specifically for Nickelback. They make generic, pop rock. Thousands of bands just like them out there who do the same. The Foo Fighters being one of them who crank out the same generic crap yet are praised for whatever reason.
March 23, 20223 yr Given the work emails I have received over the year, I'm inclined to believe that this is real. There are always those corporate employees who are the masters of the obvious. They point out dumb shit like this as if it's some great insight. In meetings, they talk a lot and begin their statements with idiocy like "This issue is more complicated than it appears on the surface..." while other dumbfucks nod their heads in agreement. From what I can tell, the author of the email is this guy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wayne-pankratz-95726351 The CC dude could be this guy who works for a franchise group that owns Applebee's restaurants: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thom-waye-b431a368 He probably has other email addresses (common for someone in that position) and "Thom Bees" is the name Wayne gave that email account; "Bees" meaning it's his Applebee's email address. Although I could be wrong.

March 23, 20223 yr "Most importantly, have the culture and environment that will attract people" Like the sort of culture and environment where you write excited emails about how you'll be able to pay your workers less because they are getting hit hard with rising prices? That sort of attractive culture and environment?

It fucking sucks ass.
March 23, 20223 yr I've eaten at Applebee's once, and that was in College Station. Never had complaints about Chili's to be honest. Haven't been in a long time, but always thought the burger was good. Edited March 23, 20223 yr by FirstTimeCaller

That sort of attractive culture and environment? Yep. Classic corporate bullshit behavior. I once worked for a large company that was constantly firing people for petty mistakes because upper management said "it kept employees on their toes." Everyone was afraid for their jobs. Then management would talk about how great their culture was.

Haven't been in a long time, but always thought the burger was good. Yeah, I don’t get the Chilis hate. I get that they are not a replica of the original, but it is far superior to Applebee’s. Longhorn steakhouse ain’t bad for what it is. Applebee’s is bad for what it is.

Longhorn steakhouse ain’t bad for what it is. Applebee’s is bad for what it is. Kind of agree regarding Chilis, but they seem to have made some questionable menu changes in the last few years, many in the name of "healthiness" that comes out as blandness. Never been to Longhorn Steakhouse, so can't comment. It's been 10 years plus, but wife lived near an Applebees when we were dating. She loves spinach artichoke dip and their version is pretty credible, or used to be. And whatever else we had there was quite decent, if not haute cuisine. They had some kind of two entree for $20 deal that we did with some regularity and I seem to recall a little steak that was tasty, as well as some form of cheeseburger. I wouldn't say it's great, but it's decent for what it is, and I suppose pretty uniform wherever you go.

You just reminded me of the last time I ate Chili's and why I haven't been since. Ate at the one in Kingsville on the way to South Padre. They had the calorie counts for all the meals and I was just floored. Everything started at 1,200+ calories, except for the grilled chicken with veggies. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
March 23, 20223 yr Last time i are at Applebees i barely made it home to the toilet in time. Last time I ate at Chili's they sat a table of about 12 gypsies next to us. They absolutely wore the waiter out- changing shit, constantly asking for shit, complaining about everything being wrong, complaining to the manager, asking for shit to be remade, wanted everything comped...it was a fucking fiasco. It wasn't Chili's staff's fault and they were far more diplomatic than i would have been to this obvious scam, but naturally our service was affected by that circus and we haven't been back in several years.

March 23, 20223 yr Because there's a lot of Applebee's means it's good? Way until I tell Mattress Firm! The scale business is back, baby!
March 23, 20223 yr When I was in college, my uncle’s neighbor was some sort of Bigwig at Brinker. He got hammered at their Xmas party, ran home, and came back with stacks of gift cards for all of the college aged folks there. Probably 25 per person for $20/each. I ate at Chili’s a lot that spring semester.
March 23, 20223 yr Seems fake. Who needs to explicitly explain all that in an email like that?Dumb asses that think that kind of analysis will get them a promotion.
