We were talking in my marketing class about Applebee’s recent promotion that says that you can get 2 dinners for $20.00. This seems like a pretty fair price to me, but the last time I went to Applebees the food was sub-par and the service was not much better. I am wondering if Applebee’s is trying to get more customers because they were losing them because of their food that is getting gross, or if they are just trying to help by offering a nice meal for cheap during an economic downtime.

Last time that I went to Applebee’s I ordered a steak and a baked potato and the steak was cold and the baked potato was old and wrinkly like it had maybe been warmed up a couple of times. I asked the waitress if she minded getting me a new one (mind you I never complain to them making it sound like it is their fault, I am really nice when I ask for something from a waitress) and she kind of gave me an eye roll and went back to the kitchen. When she came back she said they were out of baked potatoes and did not offer me a substitution.

I would kind of like to go take up this 2 meals for $20.00 thing, but I am not sure if it would even be worth it, if it was as bad as it was last time, then forget it!
