My wife & I had dinner at Applebee's Jefferson Ct. location in Louisville, KY between *-*pm on *********. We had a $** gift card that we gave the waitress to pay part of our bill. The waitress said she couldn't verify the gift card, so we paid the bill in cash. I called the number on the back of the card and it said it had $**. I returned to the restaurant the following day ********* at **:** am and spoke to the manager. He had an employee run the card and said yes there was $** dollars on it. I asked for my $** back and he said no. I have to assume Applebee's thinks I'm a lier or scam artist. You won't be getting any future business from me or my family. An Applebee's Gift card, purchased at Applebee's and not accepted by Applebee's???? What a way to run a business.
