In addition to the lack of dependable help (all over) Applebee's has struggled for years to stand out in the field of "casual restaurants". They don't really offer anything the others don't, and you could argue, less. When we lived up north had one 10 minutes from us. Can't remember that last time we went there.
Add in the higher cost of eating out, and the expectation of 20%+ tip, and I don't see any reason to go there.
