As a sign of solidarity, I personally decided to boycott Applebee's after they decided to throw their server under the bus in favor of a shitty customer. Hard to believe it's been 10 years!
I was thinking about where to have a group gathering next week, and happened to remember how Applebee's is not on the list.
Unfortunately I see the parent company is still doing okay.
Here's a link to the original event. https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/business/2013/02/applebees-fires-waitress-who-posted-nontipping-pastors-check-online
