If a place has to close its doors I don't think it has to give notice.

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.

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?

our particular one closed because they didn't give a fuck about it until it was on its deathbed

the 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

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.

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

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.

When I want plain old American food I go to Applebee's, needless to say I go maybe once or twice a year.

Corporate would have notified you, but they were too busy riverboarding.
