SHOCK!!! STRUGGLING APPLEBEE'S CONFRONTS SOCIAL MEDIA WRATH FOLLOWING VIRAL VIDEO INDEPENDENCE, MO RACIAL PROFILING DISPUTE!!!
Tough times for commerce near the failing Independence Center Mall just got worse as a viral video has inspired TENS OF THOUSANDS of people to angrily express their disdain for Applebee's.
A recent check of Applebee's Twitter @ replies reveals a steady torrent of hatred for the brand and their treatment of young women accused of dining and dashing.
We talked about it last night in some pretty good detail . . .
But now the controversial video is approaching TWO MILLION VIEWS and this seems to be the outset of a national story.
A few themes that need to be outlined . . .
If These Ladies Just Dined & Dashed . . . Why Would They Come Back???
That's the question that keeps coming up and nobody has a good answer for it that isn't insulting, knee-jerk or just angry. Fact it, petty thieves aren't serial killers and they rarely return to the scene of the crime to garner glory. It's pretty obvious that this was nothing more than a ladies night out and, most likely, some untold drama with a server who had problems with the table for whatever reason.
The Weeping Doesn't Go Over Well . . . Tears Are Wasted On Applebee's
These are grown women and while getting the boot from any low-rent establishment is embarrassing, it's not the end of the world. The drama factor is high on this confrontation and, again, the Independence, MO officer deserves high praise for attempting to keep things calm & classy . . . Or at least as classy as they can be at the Applebee's near the Meth Town Mall.
Racial Drama Is Bad For Biz . . . OR . . . Here's Another Reason Why The Mall Is Doomed Amid Retail Tough Times
It'll be interesting to see how Applebee's responds given so much outright hateration and very little defense of their actions from anybody but the worst kind of trolls.
To be fair, while this is open to legal debate and interpretation, generally in Missouri and so many other places throughout the Heartland businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone and they don't have to justify their decisions if there is no pattern of discrimination.
However, these ladies looked about 3/4ths finished with their dinner as they were asked to leave . . . So the Applebee's had already made the decision to serve these customers before they were abruptly asked to leave by way of a police officer, management and security guards.
All of this seems to indicate that there's a lot more to this tragic story of crying, chicken and social justice that has captivated local denizens of social media and tens of thousands across the nation.
Developing . . .
There's a strip mall across the street that could keep this place open but their fortunes don't look good.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually a pretty nice place as far as Applebee's goes but the mall isn't the only anchor.
On a Saturday night the place is packed and there's a chance we're just catching a waitress dealing with a really tough shift.
Tears are wasted on Applebee's.
DeleteLulz.
Sad, I know, but I don't think Milo is going to take up for the Applebee's. You can take the skinheads bowling but I'm not sure they're so wild about 75 chicken entree options.
DeleteHoping they can keep it together without crying for the TV interviews, but I'm guessing that would probably hurt their case.
ReplyDeleteAnother reason why chain restaurants are going the way of the shopping mall:
DeleteDozens of Workers Detail Sexual Misconduct at Applebee’s, IHOP Franchises
Probably doesn't help with this case but gives a look at the desperate circumstances.
And this is why Amazon will rule the world once they figure out the home food delivery market.
ReplyDelete^^^ Dude, have you heard of pizza hut?
ReplyDeleteActually, this is good publicity for Applebee’s. white people will be more willing to eat at Applebee’s and black people know they aren’t wanted there.
ReplyDelete^^^^+1000000
ReplyDeleteApplebee's Manager Said
ReplyDelete"I'm sorry for the confusion officer but you know as well as I do that all fat black bitches look alike."
And steal and lie and live off the gubmints teat
DeletePlease, have you been to that Applebee's?
ReplyDeleteIt's half black.
Their biz is DONE.
Black criminals ruin everything
ReplyDeletePeople are not criminals because of the color of their skin. People of color are criminals because of white supremacy.
ReplyDelete9:32, Funky, you West Virginny hillbilly, you're full of shit. Oh, so you'll state multiple arrests for the Killa City mayor's son, who dined and dashed from Fran's, drove drunk, skipped court, smacked a female, etc., was all because: his whitey half has such advantage over his half black ass!
ReplyDeleteGawd, you're such an idiot! Shudup, B'lie'RON!
If this story convinced one person to try another restaurant other than Applebee's then it was all worth it.
ReplyDeleteI can wait to go to Applebee's tonite after work!
ReplyDeleteDon't led those deadbeats get away with this scam!!!
Another franchise leaving MO soon.
ReplyDeleteDude, have you ever seen how black folk act at low rent joints like Crapplebee's? Everything they order is special, they berate the wait staff and barely tip. Restaurants don't like black people. Not because they are black, but because, culturally, they've been raised different.
ReplyDelete10:33 is spot on. I cringe to get behind one in a drive-thru too because you know it’s gonna take them 15 minutes to order between their dumb questions and their special requests.
DeleteAs for that Applebee’s bullshit, that one was squalling like a cat with its tail caught in the door. Somebody needs to fit that bitch with a muzzle.
Why would they come back? Because they got away with it and have done it other places, that's why.
ReplyDeleteNot very complicated.
Also, they are obviously stoopid, and may had forgotten that "oh yeah, we just scammed them yesterday!"
What the fuck is it, national whine, piss and moan month? Get the fuck over it and either survive or off yourselves ya cry baby fucktards? Life is a bitch for everyone.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that dump torn down yet
ReplyDeleteThat ghetto needs to go byby just like the people that have fuck that city up
ReplyDelete10:56 nailed it. Just like when they fill up with gas and drive off.
ReplyDelete9:55, sigh, that wasn't me.
ReplyDeleteGawd, you're such an idiot.
Hi faggot, how have you been?
DeleteServers and managers are routinely held accountable for losses created by those that "dine and dash". When someone eats good food and receives good service and then leaves without paying, servers eyes (and video cameras) remember the faces. Fuck these drama queen she-boons and fuck their tears.
ReplyDeleteTo anonymous at 2/12/18 11;30qm f*** you, do not comment until you have walked in our shoes a**hole!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don’t wear Stacy Adams. No boon shoes for me.
DeleteWow talk about some drama queens. The police officer did a good job dealing with this far as I am concerned. But upon looking at the so called video and the comments made by the one who posted this on her FB page which I noticed says she doesn't even live here but is from St Louis. Simply put I smell a rat. And it don't smell good. The officer made several attempts to talk about this and was ignored and one other person even makes a phone call to someone about it. To much drama here to much I have to make the world know how much I am moaning and crying here right this minute. If I was on a jury I be inclined to believe a set up of some sort was taking place
ReplyDeleteMyself if I was not guilty of such I would told the officer I'd like his contact information ask the manager in front of the officer for the owners contact info and have my food placed in a to go box pay my bill and haul ass out of there and let my attorney handle it if I so desired but more than likely I would just never step foot in the place agan.
By the way I think Applebee's is a crappy place to eat anyway so I don't have to worry about incidents like this.
I had a nasty encounter with the staff at Applebee's. They ended up putting pottery shards from their plates into my scrambled eggs. I contacted the CEO and he said and did nothing! Bastard was lucky I didn't claim esophageal damages and put in all over social media.
ReplyDeleteRot in hell, Applebee's.
@12:16 What shoes should 11:30 walk in ? The "perpetual victim" shoes ? The "White people owe me" shoes ? The "we wuz kangz" shoes ? The "nothing, absolutely nothing is Black people's fault" shoes ? Or are we just talking about Nikes taken at gunpoint ?
ReplyDelete^^^^^Ha ha ha that's what you get for being such a shitty customer. Keep you fucking mouth shut and shit like that won't happen!
ReplyDeleteI have seen younger African-American people who are very quick to play the race card, even if its not a part of the issue at hand. Ask them to do something that might put them out in the slightest bit and they respond by saying its because they are black. Question they're judgement in anyway, and its because they are black. I guess I missed the part of the story that had anything at all to do with their skin color. Someone identified them as potentially being thieves (one skinny and the other wearing pancake batter), and they immediately resort to they're skin color - makes me sick.
ReplyDeleteif you ask me - those were fake sobbing tears, and the reaction stinks of GUILTY!!
ReplyDeleteHey at least they have those one of a kind presidential portraits to be proud of!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely going to Applebee's!!
ReplyDeleteGibsmedat! Free Shit Army on the march!
ReplyDelete^^Shitty geezers on the march. Go home gramps, you're drunk and stink like shit!!!
ReplyDeleteSez BathHouse buttboi who's drenched in buttboiz days old goop and has buttboiz asslick breath! Get back on your knees, gobble away!

ReplyDeleteDineEquity Inc (DIN.N), the owner of Applebee’s and IHOP restaurant brands, on Tuesday reported third-quarter earnings that beat Wall Street expectations. The company said third-quarter net income rose to $58.7 million, or $3.14 per share, from $15.5 million, or 85 cents per share, a year earlier.
Oh yeah they're struggling all right. Tony, you can't even spin correctly.
^^Speaking of drunks who stink like shit!
ReplyDeleteThey closed a restaurant in Olathe 2:46 so not all areas might be doing as well as some. Plus your figures don't reflect a true analyst of DIN.N stock. It was major up and down last year.
ReplyDeleteHey dummy....^^^^ we don't care and STFU!
ReplyDelete2:41blah blah blah. Your still a lonely pathetic loser!
ReplyDeleteIf the mainstream retail base boycotted every business that’s been called “rayciss” at one time or another, every business in the world would go belly up. I base my business choices on how my family and I are treated, not some pot-stirrers in Independence.
ReplyDeleteI can tell by the comments who has never worked at a restaurant. Of course black women would dine and dash from the same place two nights in a row. They know they just have to yell "racism" and shit will hit the fan, especially at a corporate chain. I used to work at a bar on the Plaza you have all heard of. We has a she-boon come in ome night with a bunch of fellow hoodrats. Her soms had both worked at the bar in the kitchen! We knew who she was! Anyway her table of hoodrats was living it up, ordering steaks and shots of Crown. We fucking knew what their plan was, no way were they goi g to pay. We alerted Plaza Patrol and they were waiting right out front when as predicted, they did indeed dine and dash. We had to get rid of our taco lunch special because it was cheap and attracted the baboonettes. It was truly amazing. Every single one of those cows would drink water, all their food except one bite, then call the manager over and complain it was cold and want their food comped. This wasn't a couple of these bitches, it was every single one of them. We just got rid of the special so they wouldn't come back. No servers would work that shift because they couldn't make any money waiting on those cunts. Black people have more than earned their reputation. Fuck them.
ReplyDelete^^^ Troll comment. You haven't worked at a restaurant in years or probably ever.
ReplyDeleteYou're just trolling for attention because your life went wrong.
Sorry.
You don't know that applebee's it caters to guests from all over KC and half of the customers are black. That's why the rude server was fired.
I never worked food service, but I had friends that did and 739’s post sounds extremely similar to their stories. As a rule of thumb, blacks are notorious for trying to get something for nothing any chance they’re given.
DeleteWe try to steer clear of establishments with very much of a black following to avoid situations like these.
Applebee's is kind a dump. I wouldn't advise anyone to eat there.
ReplyDeleteGlad they fired these women. Applebee's did the right thing. I will continue going there because it's obvious that this kind of racism cannot be tolerated.
ReplyDelete8:44 eat another bag of dicks. You are right about one thing, I haven't worked in a restaurant in years. I was in school and now have a much better job than you. Judging from your post history you are unemployed. Your comments are easily recognizable and you post any time of day, every day. Somebody with that kind of time must be unemployed.
ReplyDeleteApplebee's fired three employees and the store is closed. Falsely accusing people doesn't pay.
ReplyDeleteAte at the Gladstone Applebees last night. Nice place, always has been. Oh and they were busy !!!
