Ban Applebee's

[ktpregular]

Taken from the blueoval.com forums.
In Cincinnati today in the enquirer local section. A colunm stated that Applebee's will buy Toyota employees meals next tuesday with proof of employment!!!!! The reason given is "all their contribution to the community". My question is why not Ford employees? Hell why not all American car makers. Or even better why not our war vets!!!!
PLEASE PLEASE call this number and complain to the local corporate office!!! 1-859-254-2180
If anyone that is a Ford employee continues to eat there SHAME ON YOU !!!
You guys, we have given up over $16,000+ for the next 2 1/2 yrs. No bailouts...Why shouldn't we be the good guys for a change? Ford sponsers so many national events and TV shows, where's everyone else?

Just my 2 cents worth here:
I'd have to guess that most of the employees in the plants being temporarily shutdown are American so ya gotta feel for them, just like they hopefully feel for those at LAP. Would it be nice to get a free meal? Absolutely! But will I begrudge one to someone else because I'm not getting one? Nope! We're all pretty P.O.'d about losing all that money/benefits. But didn't we vote on that? Applebee's is an American owned restaurant. Who are ya hurting if ya boycott them? The minimum wage American servers who live mostly on tips. I personally believe we can be "the good guys" by taking the high road and support American workers no matter who they work for. Imagine the bad press it would generate..."UAW's Sour Grapes Begrudges Free Applebee Meals for American Workers". Follow your conscience..boycott..don't..but as for me, I really do like their ribs! (uh..Applebee's ribs..not the American workers' ribs, although I'm sure they are delicious too, not that I'd eat A UAW member's ribs... *walks off mumbling under his breath something about the Donner Party*....)

Never have liked their food

I don't eat there often but haven't had any bad meals when I have. A friend of mines daughter works at the one I've been to, she's a hard worker and deserves to make a living just like any other American. If you don't like thier corporate decisions why not call and plead your case? Maybe it will be Ford drivers who get a free meal next week.
