If a place has to close its doors I don't think it has to give notice.
3/11/2009 10:40:11 AM
I am truely sorry for your lots
3/11/2009 10:41:37 AM
Applebee's doesn't suck. There is just nothing unique about it. Mediocre food, Mediorcre atmosphere, Mediocre service. It is a place I personally never think about when dinner plans are in the works.
3/11/2009 10:41:56 AM
corporate makes the decision at least 3 days prior but doesn't tell any of the workers until the day of
3/11/2009 10:42:21 AM
Therefore, by your definition, it sucksstupid fuck
3/11/2009 10:42:38 AM
they do have some good bbq sauce
3/11/2009 10:43:08 AM
I hate the word corporate.
3/11/2009 10:43:24 AM
Sorry about that Parsonsb....the AppleBees around the corner from my place off of University Drive closed a few months ago as well. Are most of the AppleBees doing bad business wise...or is it just due tot his economy?
3/11/2009 10:43:32 AM
hershculez explained best why Applebee's is falling apart.
3/11/2009 10:44:55 AM
tot his economy ?or tot her economy ?
maybe they would be open if they offered tots
3/11/2009 10:45:45 AM
sorry to hear that dude
3/11/2009 10:46:52 AM
and didn't even bring out a fresh order when you ordered someThey just stored a fuckload in their cargo pockets and gave you some out of there
3/11/2009 10:47:08 AM
our particular one closed because they didn't give a fuck about it until it was on its deathbedthe place has been falling apart since well before I got there, but since the land was paid off corporate didn't worry with fixing a damn thing structurally, went more family oriented, but didn't do anything to make us look and feel less like a sports bar
3/11/2009 10:49:34 AM
Isn't parsonbs the one whose house burned down?If so, he has pretty bad luck.But it's not like it's an industry where it would be hard to find another job.
3/11/2009 10:50:20 AM
All I know is Applebees better not drag IHOP down with it.
3/11/2009 10:50:41 AM
well yeah but i was scheduled to work this weekend, i'm losing what money i would have made I've got to find another job if they don't transfer me which will require training again most likely, so i'd be looking at a couple of weeks or more of downtime from working which i was banking on to help me through the rest of this month and make rent for next
3/11/2009 10:54:41 AM
The rich get richer and the poor get fucked over and outDeal with it
3/11/2009 10:55:42 AM
Shit like this is why everyone needs to keep a couple thou at least in savings.
3/11/2009 10:56:41 AM
i also might not be eligible for unemployment since i'm a full time student ^shit like this has been happening to me for about the last 2 years which is why i no longer have a couple of thousand in savings[Edited on March 11, 2009 at 10:58 AM. Reason : ...]
3/11/2009 10:56:50 AM
yep fired with the chance for rehire somewhere elsethough i did get paid for the vacation time i had accrued as "severence"
3/11/2009 2:49:52 PM
3/11/2009 2:52:56 PM
Can you get unemployment??
3/11/2009 2:53:18 PM
I remember that a restaurant I worked at during college just closed down without telling any employees. They just put a chain and lock on the front door and posted a sign... everyone showed up for lunch shift only to find the place locked up.
3/11/2009 2:58:51 PM
3/11/2009 3:01:16 PM
maybe i'm a full time student so probably not but if they don't hire me to hillsboro street then i count as fired instead of me quitting
3/11/2009 3:03:38 PM
When I want plain old American food I go to Applebee's, needless to say I go maybe once or twice a year.
3/11/2009 3:03:58 PM
this is not uncommon for resturants
3/11/2009 3:07:27 PM
i enjoy some of the food there, some of it i hate, but the food is good enough for the price that i occasionally eat there
3/11/2009 3:07:55 PM
Corporate would have notified you, but they were too busy riverboarding.http://www.ripboard.com/community/Applebees_riverboarding.shtml
3/11/2009 3:09:34 PM
3/11/2009 3:11:58 PM
Look on the bright side, you could be like me and out about 15 grand in PTO, severance, and relocation expenses you were originally promised
3/11/2009 3:15:33 PM
that makes me sad to hear this, B. I hope you can transfer or find a great job. Ken and I are both kind of in this same position. Kind of.
3/11/2009 3:15:53 PM
that place has been there forever toooh obama, why must you punish us with your ineptness?
3/11/2009 5:56:38 PM
because mccain would have done a better job....
3/11/2009 6:00:41 PM
wouldnt raise taxes. wouldnt be repeating mistakes we learned from the 29 depression. i mean there is just so much wrong with this guy, but you have such an emotional interest in him that you cant see it. its okay though Kiwi aint nobody ever mistaked you for smartyes, i know mistked is not a word
3/11/2009 6:15:50 PM

3/11/2009 6:29:10 PM
