One thought on “Applebee’s Relies On Fake Customers

  1. In this economy, I’d believe anything! Coincidentally, I just read a brief blurb in the 8/13/12 Time Magazine issue also about Applebees selling mannequins to put at your desk chair to fake out your boss so you could sneak out to go to Applebees!
    Desperate times-desperate measures!
