Applebee's
100+ locations to close.
Some IHOP's too, but I didn't make this thread to discuss them.
Color me shocked that a shit hole like Applebee's is struggling when all their competitors are offering fresh, better, cheaper, and healthier food. I didn't list tastier or higher quality because that should be a given.
Look at Chilis and how they used to be the same type of shit hole, yet they've revamped their menu, are using fresher ingredients, and added amazingly good lunch deals.
I just don't think people want to walk into a dirty chain restaurant that typically caters to a lower class audience because the food is shit. Their service also being shit is just a bonus.
I've been to Applebee's about a dozen times and without fail the food and service have sucked. I'm quite certain I've never seen an attractive Applebee's employee either.

Soem numbers:
One and a quarter ounces of cheap 80 proof tequila in each of those 'ritas if you wanted to know. Bartender at applebees here.
A standard margarita pour is one and a half ounces 80 proof tequila and half ounce of 80 proof Cointreau/triple sec. so yeah your margarita is only 62.5% of a “real” one.
Edit: to put that into into perspective, Keystone light is 4.2% and comes in 12 oz cans. That is .504 oz of ethanol. The Applebee’s margarita is 1.25 oz of 40% alcohol which is .500 oz ethanol. So you will get more drunk off a keystone light than an Applebee’s margarita.

When I was college, I couldn't figure out why drinks at bars were so expensive for being so weak.
LAter, started measuring my home pours, and a standard gin + tonic for me was 5 ounces of gin, 5 ounces of tonic ,plus some ice.

My occasional Barcadi/Cokes at home tend to be rather strong. Like... triples.

Yeah, a triple is like a normal drink to me. Or, was, when I drank more. Now I get tipsy on two glasses of wine. (The lack of carbs in my diet helps)

I can proudly say I haven't been in one since you've been divorced either!

I can say it used to be decent in the 1990s. One day the riblets went from "pretty good" to "complete ass."
