Do not eat at applebee's !
Dartful Dodger:
I worked at a banquet hall in college and at a Browns Chicken in HS. I couldn’t eat fried chicken for years after HS. To this day I won't eat coleslaw, chicken salad or tuna salad. At both places mayo based products were a main target, even when people were following the rules, watching it being prepared made me sick.
Ummon:
I don't remember seeing bugs of any sort at any of the places I worked - especially Mickie D's, that place was so clean.
One time we had sewer pipe burst downstairs (the pipe was above head level down there). They got it locked down and cleaned up before I got there, heh just missed it, but the stench stuck for a day or two.
DD - ah, mayonnaise.

The Applebees in Nevada are totally clean and friendly*.
I cannot vouch for the original poster's location, but if you ever in town, please give Applebees a visit.

Another ex-restaurant worker here; Bennigan's, TGIFridays, Red Lobster.
Most of the stores that I worked in were clean and most people had standards. I had high standards and many followed. TGI Friday's was by far the most militant (good way) of knocking out food and keeping clean.
The best story I have comes not as much from ignorance as much as it does stupidity. At Red Lobster, there was this manager named Stu. He was not the brightest bulb and he was a weightlifter/bodybuilder. Big upper body, smaller lower. For this, I nicknamed him 'Stu-roid'.
One weekend night I was off, but I had a friend call me to tell me what had just gone down. The snow crab legs come in frozen and we'd thaw what we were expecting to sell during the day/night. Once thawed, they'd be put into a steamer as ordered. Well, apparently either someone didn't thaw the right amount or they underestimated the business that night, and they ran out. Stu-roid, in a panic, grabbed lots of frozen snow crab legs, put them onto a flat, dish rack and shoved them through the dishwasher (think conveyor belt). Soap and all. My understanding is that someone had to explain to him, and pretty much convince him that those crab legs could not be served because of the soap.
For this, I nicknamed him Stu-pid.

Erf. When I was working at the student union at UMass one of the dishwashers showed up to work high. He decided it would be fun to lay on the conveyor belt and go through the industrial dishwasher. You could probably hear him screaming a mile away while he got splashed with near boiling water and steam before someone figured out how to turn the thing off.
