At Applebee's, beware of that little computer tablet sitting on your table. This innocent looking machine might be nice for ordering and paying your bill with a credit or debit cards, but looks can be deceiving.
While waiting for your order, it sits on your table begging for you to play a game. Thinking that it will only charge a credit card, curiosity got the best of me and I started playing with it. I played one game. Well, surprise, surprise! Applebee's charged me $1.99 for this stupid game I only played once. I am extremely disappointed in Applebee's allowing this scam in their business. There is no mention of the cost of playing any of these games prior to playing. When I complained to a waiter about the extra game charge on my bill, she laughed and said she was not aware of it. Why would Applebee's risk their hard earned dining reputation on a cheap scam. By the way, the food was OK.
