| - Usually, the service and food aren't too bad, but dinner last night made me change my mind. When we walked through the door, we were greeted by the crowd of customers waiting for tables. Looked in the seating area and noticed it was only a little over half full. I guess it's too much work to wipe off a table and put a new place setting there.
Instead of cleaning the regular tables, the hostess led our party to the raised table surrounded by the uncomfortable bar stools. I guess she didn't notice the 85 year old woman with us (my mother visiting for the holidays). When we said we didn't want to eat our meal on bar stools, the hostess responded in a very snooty voice "Well, then you'll have to go back to the waiting area while we clean one of these tables off just for you".
It takes several minutes for them to get their rears in gear and actually clean tables like they're supposed to do. We sit down, and my mother asks the hostess if they accept the senior discount card, and she says (in her usually snooty voice) "I don't know anything about that, I've only been here for two weeks, and this is my last day". Well, at least we now know where the bad attitude is coming from.
The food wasn't bad, and our waiter, Nathan, did a fantastic job from start to finish. The whole experience was degraded by that bitchy hostess. I'm glad Applebees got rid of her.
