Well, let me just say, I'd be home tending to our 3 year old daughter & she'd get home in time for me to go to work.... at 5 am.
We were divorced a short time later.

I have an Applebees gift card to use. Can't be that bad if I'm not having to pay for it.

I recommend you just go to the bar, drink, and socialize with single women.

The last time I went to an Applebees was during a ride weekend at Windrock about a decade ago.  I don't recall it being  bad.  I think getting good waitstaff in Dawsonville is not easy.

The problem started when you said. "let's eat at Applebee's". The one in woodstock is soo bad I don't think they will be open for long. Tracy got chicken parmesan with extra change...... there was a dime in the noodles. I mean, how does that even happen? The manager didn't even apologize! He didn't want to take it off the bill even though she refused to eat it and they never offered to make her another one. I don't think I have ever had good food at an Applebee's. Just cheap food....

I agree about the wait staff.
The food was really good. The waitress was not. We paid for 100% of our food & left the tip because most restaurants throw it all in a big pile & then divide it up.
I thi k this is stupid but I am not the manager.

Who does tip pooling?

I have never worked as a server at a place that does and we dont.

I agree. It doesn't make sense a crappy waiter gets good tips while a great waiter gets less.
My brother in law worked as a waiter years ago & had friends @ different restaurants.  I based my comment on his experience.
I think that was & still is the norm around Gainesville. This would be a great question to ask the next trip out.

Casino's still work this way...it annoys me when I tip a good servant while I know there are bad ones who get a cut.   I figure that eventually it comes around for them.

Democrats must have came up with the tipping pool. You they like the redistribution of wealth.

Sure, because a Republican would expect the price of the item to be the final price.

Correct. It is the final price. Tipping is a separate​ transaction and optional.  I tip 25% or more for great service. 5 or 0 and pay cash if it sucks.

In many of the countries I travel to, a tip is not understood or expected.  Why is it that in the US the servers are paid a lower rate and tips are expected? Is it to encourage servers to do a good job and let the customers determine their success or failure? Bad behavior shouldn't​ be rewarded because it is "expected".  Tips are not automatic if you suck.  I see tipping as the much desired and paid for customer survey and feedback platform.  Rather instant too. 

I can't believe there is this much discussion about Applebee's.  What do you expect? It's a chain serving pre-prepared meals so little talent is needed   Go to a locally​ owned restaurant and get to know them. They are hard getting hard to find though.
