bad lunch

If I walked into a restaurant and it smelled like an outhouse I would
leave.I am not sure why anyone would eat in a restaurant that smells
like an outdoor toilet.

The thing that bounces out at me when I look at the letter is all the
&'s. 9 in total.

So, you walked into a place (using the entrance I suppose) and it
smelled like an outhouse. "It was a horrible smell"

And You Stayed?

And You Ordered?

And You Ate?

Bad Lunch is right! -

Why do people complain and leave out the location?!

Maybe when IHOP buys Applebees, they will put waffles on the menu.
This will make Applebees stand out from their competitors and perhaps
it will make one of the planetfeedback posters happy. :)

PS - I know the original waffle comment was addressed to Chili's but,
Applebees and Chili's are similar in my opinion.

I think the reason the lunch was so small is that it is a lunch combo.
They are smaller than the dinners and cheaper. If the soup was cold
send it back. problem solved.

Dear diary,

July 16, 2007

I know what an ampersand is now. I can't wait to abuse the hell out
of it in some random letter about how a place I ate at smells like
poop.

Nancy

Gee Nancy, it looks like the regular posters here have beaten the
you-know-what out of you.

I don't see where you specified the location, but as many suggested,
you should have brought your complaints to the onsite management
immediately.

I don't see where you have asked for anything free here, which people
seem to do a lot. However, it looks from your criticisms that you
were critical of pretty much every dish of food. That looks suspect,
because in my visits to Applebees the dishes and appetizers have been
rather large.

Which brings me to another person's point; it is hard to understand
exactly what the purpose of your letter is. It is almost as if you
work for a competitor and just want to trash Applebee's. I doubt that
is true, but that's how bewildering this letter is.

Now where is that air freshener hiding? This place smells like our
old outhouse.

bad letter

Your quote: there was some sort of air freshner in the front entry,
that made the whole restaurant smell like an outhouse, it was a
horrible smell.

Wow! I must have missed that scent! New from Febreeze, outhouse scent!
For the person who enjoys the smell of bodily waste!

And the point of your letter is WHAT? I really don't even know why
you wrote this thing. Are you taking a creative writing class and had
to quickly come up with a topic and belt something out in 2 seconds
and this was it? And then you thought it was so good that you went
ahead and posted it to the site?

New lesson in life. If you want great food, then don't eat at
National chain/franchise restaurants (just hear that IHOP is attemping
a buy Applebee's, so it will go down hill even further once that
happens). There are a ton of great locally owned, one shop owner
restaurants all over the place that would love to have your business.
They'll actually bend over backwards to make your dining experience
wonderful for the same amount of money and sometimes for less money.
Give them a try sometime!

Soup is sometimes also cold in these chain restaurants, because if you
look around, there are usually over a hundred other folks just like
yourself sitting there eating too, and it sits before it's delivered.


Wear a close pin for your nose in all public places. If you think air
freshner stinks, try standing over the stall at my gym. Now that's
smelly.

Have a better life.

And the waitress was rude how?

Looks like it's just thrown in there for a reason to give you free
stuff.

Applebees are very good for taking care of problems if presented to
them while in the restaurant.

It's possible there was a water leak and they were covering up the
smell with an air freshener.

IHOP is buying Applebees soon so I wonder how things will change with
that.

And the manager said? You did ask for a manager, didn't you?

Two quick questions:

1. Why would you sit down in a restaurant that smelled like an
outhouse?

2. Why didn't you complain while you were there instead of writing a
letter?
