I could do without them looping "Back in Black" as well.

Both songs were worn out to begin with.

All the waitress could say was "They're not from the kitchen." Interesting, because our table was completely empty until she set the tray down with the drinks.

Using those catchy (or annoying) theme songs we remember so well.

using the original artists. What I hate are the ads that chop up a song and modify the lyrics, or just keep repeating one phrase over and over.

I can put up with what Applebees is doing.

after a doctor appointment, last week in an Applebee's. We should have walked out when stepping in the door we were hit with the smell of dirty mop water. They were not busy for months, it looks like they would have had time to clean the place up. They were so thinly staffed that the busy bartender was also waiting and bussing tables, service was slow and the food was awful. But other than that, it was a wonderful experience. I expect to return in about never.

Now it has committed me to never stepping in an Applebees, ever.
Not that I ever had but now I have a good reason that will never leave my mind.
