Applebees

I have been an employee at your vallejo store *Applebee's VALLEJO 1041 Admiral Callaghan Lane* for moving to six months now. I am here to address an issue to hopefully someone that will make my workplace more comfortable.

Two months working as a host at your restaurant a coworker named Dylan Fajardo began being flirtations' and attempting to be physical with me at your store. Dylan Fajardo knows I have a loving partner, even so he continued to pursue, pushing me around at work and attempting to trip me on purpose MULTIPLE times. Another example of his unacceptable actions would be, me at my host stand doing my duties, Dylan Fajardo coming over returning menus, while doing so he would rest his hand on my shoulder and whisper things such as "here you go" into my ear. Pushing this disgusting behavior even more he confessed to liking me through via text message saying:

"I'm just gonna come out and say this & when I say this I understand that you have a girl but I'm feeling you & I like you *heart emoji*."

I spoke to your head manager of the Vallejo Applebees store, nothing was done to make my Applebees a safer and comfortable place.

I talked to them three months ago and still nothing, it makes me sick and disturbed, he still makes me uncomfortable working there. Dylan Fajardo has made Applebee's an extremely displeasing restaurant to work at.

I want Dylan Fajardo discharged. If proof is needed for the conversation that can be provided.

Thank you

I ate in at Applebees in Monroeville, PA sometime in the summer. I also ordered 2 queso dips to go and another meal for my son.

I assumed the dips were in there since the chips were in the bag, but when I got back to my sisters and went to get one of the dips that was for her, I realized they only gave chips and no dips. I immediately called and talked to a manager and she took my information and said she would mail me a giftcard which I was fine with. When I went to order Applebees about a month in a half later at another Applebees in the area, I remembered I never received a giftcard. I called while I was in the parking lot and spoke to another manager who took my information again and told me she had to check to see if they mailed the giftcard and would call me back I said they didnt mail it..

obviously. I didnt like the way she spoke to me or handled the situation. Of course I never received a gift card or a call back. I then sent an email on December 30 and got an automated message back saying they would get back to me in 3-5 day which they did not.

I called the 1800 number a few weeks later and spoke with a nice rep that said she would escalate it and I would receive a call back in the next day or two. I finally got a call back from not the corporate, but the manager from the Applebees that originally ripped me off. He was nice and assured me that I would get a gift card and he gave me the option to pick it up( its about a 30 minute drive) or I he would mail it and was writing my address on an envelope as we were speaking. I said he could just mail it and about a week and a half later, I got the most insulting letter from the kitchen manager and a gift card for UP TO..

$10!!!

After everything I had to do to get my refund for something I paid for and didnt receive, I get a portion of my money back in the form of a gift card!! I paid over $15 and they gave me back up to $10 with a letter saying most customers wouldnt bother to call and complain.

We have several complaints with our visit to your Applebees neighborhood at 502 N. Veterans Parkway in Bloomington Illinois at 2:59 PM First of all, we want to compliment our first waitress, Brittany.

Brittany was very attentive, when our drinks were slow, she refilled them. She kept asking if we needed anything she was amazing. We were sad to see her leave because her shift was over.
Thats when everything went downhill, after she left, we could not get any service my friend used her cell phone to call the restaurant to ask for somebody to come and take care of us now mind you we spent over $100 today between two people to eat. And I know that usually not a lot for some people but when youre both retired , and Im physically handicapped every penny we spend means a lot to us, not to you, because you make good money but to us thats a lot of money
1.

We could not get any help. She had a call twice for someone to come and take care of us so we could put in our to go orders.
2. To back it up a little bit my friends steak for 8 ounces sirloin and her mashed potatoes were cold. I ordered a dish of ice cream and by the time I got it, it was almost melted.

She ordered a brownie bite and that thing was so small, and the ice cream was almost melted that it was not worth $2.99. For the appetizers I wanted barbecue wings and onion rings instead of french fries, which I wanted to take home. But the person had his own agenda because I got hot wings, which makes my stomach really sick, so Im gonna throw away thats the wings. I got two orders of french fries.

No onion rings. The ribs were as hard as a hockey puck . My friend ordered her roommate pretzels with cheese. There was no cheese just pretzels.

She also ordered her a hamburger and the hamburger hardly had anything on it.
I dont know why we had such a bad experience at Applebees when usually werent satisfied. When Brittany was taking care of us it was great. We got refills , we were able to tell her what we wanted when we had something missing from our food, and my friend didnt mention her cold food because Brittany was very nice. It wasnt her fault, so why should we mention to her that the food was cold?
When we are customers, we do expect service.

I dont know if it was because there werent a lot of workers and it was getting busy or why but when my friend has to use her phone to call the restaurant so we can get some service is really sad.
Check number 893197****. The date was 02/05/23.

The time was 2:59 PM at 502 N. Veterans Parkway, Bloomington, IL 61704 TB# 84

The person I believe to be the manager was very involved unlike any other manager I see. Usually just walking around.

This one was doing more than his fair share. Hostess had a bubbly personality and so apologetic when there was no need to be. We were happy to wait. Then we come to the server.

Subpar. She charged us incorrectly and missed out an appetizer. We wanted the 2/$31. So not only did we not receive the appetizer we were charged more than we should have been for her negligence.

Was brought to her attention. She said she'd bring the appetizer (never did) and adjust the check (never did). Anytime we needed anything we had to get up and try and find her or ask someone else. 3 kids and no napkins.

She was nowhere to be found so another server to the rescue. 10 people and 6 sets of silverware in which when we asked she brought two additional. Another server brought the others after having to get up AGAIN. Refills?

Forget about that. That was nonexistent. To go box because we were there for almost three hours (!!!) and the children were getting restless. Manager brought those in which once again we had to get up and find someone.

Horrible experience overall. For $178 check we expected better. Unfortunately we tip regardless which brought the bill well over $200.

Definitely didn't deserve a tip. After we left we talked amongst ourselves and agreed we should have divided it up between the servers that did actually help us out.

Server name: Cheyenne

I would like to express my not so nice experiance with one of your promotions that just took place at 12PM Eastern Time today 1-22-2024. Last week I was taken by an ad you had about a special you were running.

It's called Applebees Date Night Pass. I was excited to purchase one. I read the rules and even the fact that it was first come first serve. I was by my computer to purchase one and also my brother in Michigan was also interested to buy one and also by his computer to purchase one when the time opened up at 12PM today.

The experiance of trying to get one was very dissapointing. First off we got a message that the servers were busy which I can understand but after trying a minute in half trying I could then get access and clicked on "get the deal". Once the 2nd page came up it said the deal was "sold out". It sold out in less than 2 minutes.

If you sold out in less that 2 minutes I hardly agree that this should even should be an advertised deal as only .001 percent of the poeple can actually get one. This is like an indian giver. Honestly I feel you should not even adverise anything like this. Essentially its pretty impossible for anyone to actually get.

It should be advertised like a lottery and not a item that anyone could actually expect to buy.

This makes me not want to visit applebees anymore. Is this promotion going to be avalaible again or is this deal actually all done in less that 2 minutes?

Hello, whom it concerns, We are employee at Applebee's Richmond, Indiana. We came into work last week and found out that our GM was terminated unfairly.

Since she has taken work she created a family environment. Well loved theany changes she made and was making. She work hand to hand with us without excuses. Even after she lost her child last year on the same day that she was used an escape goat because of loss beyond her control, matter of a fact we all heard her and manger matt call our DM and he told her to close because of the water heater and that we could open until it was fixed which we could have had liquid sanitizer and stayed open but ethier it wasn't descion to close and she was hurt that all the employee and company lost those 6 day but immediately after we lost another because of the wrongful termination.

That another issue she could begin to be compared to what Dana brought to our establishment. We all know it was a deflection to save another person job añd she was a fall guy. None of want the store to ever close Especially Dana because we all lose. She took over or store with no experience and did a great job keeping us together and fighting with us during a difficult time.

The place was horrible when she took over and she started making improvements one by one and she came along way she put in around 30 work order when she first took over 4 got approved who's fault was that? Not danas. She remodel almost the entire restaurant that was danas fault.she was always working hard for us. Again not one time did someone come and spend more than two days training her and we all know that because we work with her.

Our food cost was high now and then because she never had training but she was getting better. When the decision to shut down the restaurant can we lost all out the prepped product a lot of our fresh produce , some pulled product but it wasn't her decision to shut down the restaurant and her and Matty was in touch with Josh daily he demanded the closing. By the way how is he still employed. She was just following order.

We had an inspection the same day we reopened of course she not going to do well we were scrambling to open a completely closed store with some product that went bad we had to waste them. Anyway to conclude this she should of had trainers there with her for weeks but she still got better she never was never trained fully and just lost a her baby and was still getting better. That was like doing college math I'm elementary I'm sure to her. She definitely should of have full GM training she was just thrown in to the position.

The inspection we fail a lot of it wasn't her doing it was things she was trying to fix and just had not gotten approval. She got picked apart by the inspector and she lied about glove because we were asking her questions about glove when it came to dirty and clean dishes . We all know to wear glove especially when being inspected. The ice on boxes is because we never got approval for fREZZER CONDENSER ON TOP OF BUILDING TO BE REPLACED IT is ANCIENT.

We would love to have our manager back and for her to have the proper training and a fair chance.

It way to obvious she was a fall person for someone else and that she was never trained proper to be gm she was feed to the wolves and held it together still. Closing the store and all the loss that can with it wasn't her decision and we all know and heard it with our own ears.

None of us think this was write, fair, or just. If we can't make a change and do the right thing by our mission statement, employees and customers who will.

Pray for what's right,

Stand for Dana,

Rmh Applebee's team

The steak I ordered had something that appeared to be a tendon or a muscle - very gross. It couldnt be cut through with a knife and it choked you if you accidentally got a piece of it before you even knew it was there.

So food not edible, staff didnt seem to care, no customer service at all, no attempt at damage control so that they wouldnt lose a paying customer. I was charged full price for my meal plus an additional percentage for using a debit card. I was never asked by my waitress if I needed anything or how the food was. A manager was never seen.

Apparently Applebees doesnt need repeat customers or loyal customers. I wont go to Applebees in Grants pass oregon ever again and I probably wont waste my time at any Applebees again
