On Saturday September 29th, my husband and I, and 8 other friends went to the Roseville Applebees on Gratiot around 10pm. This is a tradition that the 10 of us do every other Saturday, we have been going there for the last year after our saturday bowling. Normally things go pretty well but this night was horrible. My husband is black and I am white, all the others are white also. We were sitting on one side of the table with 4 others and the other 2 couples were on the opposite side. I ordered the nachos for my friends with chicken instead of beef, and made some other changes, I preceded to order one that exact same way for my husband and I, when the waitress brought them out, the other couples food was perfect and my nachos had beef, how could she not tell the difference, it was very noticeable. So I had to send them back and wait another 20 minutes to get the correct order, she offered no apology. Then I ordered a salad, with my steak meal. In the meantime, the other couples got refills on their drinks, and we did not. The waitress then brought my food, the steak was suppose to be medium well, it was medium rare and she never brought my salad. When I told her about my salad she never offered to bring it. Another thing that happened was my friend that was sitting across from me order a greek salad, the salad came out with no dressing and no feta cheese, she told the waitress and she brought the feta out, but no dressing, my friend had to send the whole salad back and she didn't get the eat because by then we all were almost finished. By that time, the others got a 3rd refill and my husband and I got NO refills. When I asked for service she pretty muche refused to help me with things, like my steak, my salad not coming, my nachod being made wrong, no refills on my drink... Now I really feel that because she was a black female and I was a white female with a black man that she gave us horrible service. MY friends also felt that way also, they could see the difference with their service and food, compared to mine. I am deeply offended by this racial experience. I hope that applesbees is not turning into another Dennys when in comes to interracial couples and black people. I love applebees and their food I go there at least twice a month with friends for dinner and at least once a month for lunch with my sister. But now I am not sure I want to give my business to a company that allows this to happen. I hope that is can be taken care. Everyone I have told about this experience say they are very appalled and hopes that someone takes care of this situation. They also do not know if they should go back to a restaurant that allows this.

I went to applebees on 4-7-07 with my little sister at 11:30 pM. (2 little asian girls) In Milwaukee Wisconsin. i walked in and asked the hostess, a short white lady in glasses if they are still serving TO GO. She said "yes we are but I can't serve you". I looked at her confused. She said because you're under 18. I told her that i am 21. She asked me so rudely "I need to see some ID" Then she looked at my ID. My id was in fair condition, it wasn't brand new because it had been in the washing machine so many times (i put one piece of tape on it). She asked me in a mean way about that. I told her that i put regular tape on it so that the plastic security tape will not come off.

(Not like it would make a difference in how old i am)

She kept looking at my ID and pausing and looking at me for a while. She took forever and i was hungry and it was irritating me because she is not blind. She kept saying where, I dont see it. I finally told her that it's right in front of her face. Then she said i was giving her an attitude and kicked me out. From the looks of her, keeping us out there for so long, It was like she was stalling so we cannot go in and order, Point: From the looks of things, that was discrimination.

I was thinking to myself: What is so hard about looking for your birthday on an ID card. Its not like she doesnt have one either.
