Reply #119: You don't have to hang around waiting for an hour or so for the manager [View All]

if he or she were available, I'd talk to him/her, but I can't wait with a hungry little kid in a parking lot for an hour or two. Applebees needs to take better care of their equipment if they don't want that problem. I can't imagine the management of Applebees even expects everyone to hang around for an hour or so while the management is busy with the fire dept.

I usually pay as normal and simply don't go back if I don't like the food or service, so that's never been an issue for me.
