$50 Applebees Gift Card for $40 with free shipping

Quote from bryallan : Yuck. Applebee's gets most of their food sealed in plastic, pre-cooked and ready to reheat in the microwave. 20% off crap is still crap.

yeah, food is awful but cool deal

Quote from xtrabad : To be more accurate, although the cards were printed as $40, they actually had $50 loaded on them.

correct, I was in on that deal. they fixed the cards that they mailed.

While Im about saving a buck, I worked for minimum wage once and always dreamed about healthcare. Not going to support some company who stops hiring in response to having to pay out benefits.

Make sure you don't buy Papa Johns then too. And Dennys. And any other business that is honest about their employment costs and doesn't try to secretly just pass the cost of Obamacare to the consumer. And make sure you complain about these companies in every deal thread because people appreciate constant updates of your activism.

Boo hoo hoo, I have to make sure my employees don't die in the gutter of basic healthcare needs. I miss the days when I could just pay them minimum wage and no benefits. Now my dirt-cheap food is a slight percentage more expensive to produce in terms of labor cost. My poor stockholders. Boo hoo mother f***ing hoo.

You activists never realize that companies will make up that cost somewhere. They'll either lay people off, increase prices, some business will move off shore. You are always trying "stick it to these companies" and in reality they never get anything stuck to them, it's always the consumer and employees that pay for the federal government's activism.

Quote from G60roddo : Wow, so much hate. As someone else said, Applebees has a bar... even if you personally don't like their food (obviously many do) who can complain about $10 off $50 in drinks?

Maybe because 20% off of crap is still crap.

Doesn't speak well for BF that SD is resorting to this kind of "deal" for the FP.

"You activists" is pretty funny. I work in energy trading for an investment bank. I understand economics and regulatory actions pretty well, I think.

The federal government trying to shore up our completely broken healthcare system is not "activism", it's the long overdue action that is needed to keep middle and lower income people from being financially annihilated every time they have a medical issue.

If employers need to pass on a higher cost to their end users due to increased cost of labor, and remember that we are talking about fractions of the net cost of the product here, then they are free to do so. The market will either pay it, or not pay it. If the whole market has to face increased costs, which they would in the mind of the right wing of this country, then prices for all products will rise. If that is in fact the case, then would not all workers be affected and thus also have increased cash flow to spend on those products by way of not spending excessive amounts on healthcare? Hmmmmmm?

If companies cannot make a satisfactory profit after paying their employees a living wage, then they do not have a viable business, period. Net US corporate profits last quarter were $1.65T, having doubled (yes, 100% growth) since Q1 2004, so if you cry poor on behalf of the impoverished major corporate entities of America, I am going to laugh, and laugh, and laugh.

There is more to economics than the sticker price, chum, and there is more to this issue than crybaby Fox News-watching executives throwing public temper tantrums.


Also, support your locally-owned restaurants.

Finally, someone who has some mf sense. Thank you.

You don't like Applebees, move on. This is a deal site not Democrat underground.

IMO, you should set up multiple accounts and buy this deal several times.

Enjoy your microwave dinners!

Going to reply to my above post with a rational and well-reasoned response, or just going to go back to staring obediently at Megyn Kelly while she utters pointy lies that get your blood pressure rising?

Please keep real politics off the board. At SD, we are about the politics of the deal and not the real politics.

Keep it real!
