I ate at the Applebee's with my family and in-laws last weekend in Delray Beach, near King's Point and Century Village. Now, for those who need a refresher, these two places are retirement communities. The majority of the business Applebee's gets are these people who do nothing but come in and cause trouble.
On our table, there was a sign that said "Today's margarita. If your waiter does not mention today's margarita, please have our manager paged for a free order of mozarella sticks".
Now, in truth, our waiter actually did not mention it, but I noticed this halfway into our appetizers and had said something to my wife about it. We decided not to say anything being we were afraid we would not want to eat our main meals.
We wonder how many times a day Applebee's deals with this dilemma. With the trouble many of these retirees with buttloads of money cause, there's a pretty good chance at least fifty or more times a day this Applebee's gives away free cheese sticks.
Why would a restaurant near these two places want to open the door to trouble from the rich seniors who drove up in their shiny new expensive luxury cars by offering something like this?
