    The only way this story makes sense is if it occurred in the south, where they have club Applebee’s. Otherwise, I have a lot of questions about how this would even occur.

      I’m sure this is possible, any specific reason you think this couldn’t happen at a normal Applebee’s in the northern US?

        I didn’t say it couldn’t, just that it is improbable for myriad reasons. Not many beverage druggings occurring in well lit, highly staffed, low customer restaurants. Unless the drugger was in this person’s group, it would be pretty unusual.

          Unless the drugger was in this person’s group

          Isn’t that a pretty common thing, where a woman is drugged by a man she is actively on a 1 on 1 date with?

          The logistics of a stranger kidnapping a roofied victim seems much more complicated if they didn’t show up together.

            Yes, my understanding it’s it usually isn’t at restaurants, however. That’s all I was pointing out. This Applebee’s “joke” was just bizarre.

    I don’t understand how anyone can eat at there. The food is actually terrible. It was one of two non-fast food restaurants in the town I grew up in and my parents always suggested to meet up there for dinner and I was still always like… I’d rather eat at mcdonalds than that place…

      Boomers with zero discernment have kept some zombie companies alive for decades beyond their natural sunsetting. The same goes for said Boomers.

    I’d hit up a Golden Corral before an Applebees.

    But seriously I infinitely prefer the non-brand local diner, usually named after the street it is on, over just about any sit-down chain.

    Applebee’s has a decent bar and accommodates the picky people in a group. I can get an acceptable burger and fries, and they can get whatever chicken finger or Mac and cheese dish they want.
