Woman Arrested After Sharing Her Applebee’s All You Can Eat Appetizer
Taste of Country ^

Posted on 08/10/2024 1:27:23 PM PDT by simpson96

Applebee's recently brought back their all you can eat appetizer, which includes their double-crunch shrimp, tender riblets and boneless buffalo wings for just $15.99.

With that, you also get unlimited fries — just as long as you don't share them. It's a rule the restaurant tells patrons of ahead of time (it's noted on the menu), but a woman in Illinois disregarded that warning and shared her appetizers anyway.

She likely regrets it now.

It all went down on August 2 at approximately 8:30 PM, when Portage, Ill. police responded to a verbal disturbance at an Applebee’s Bar & Grill.

Dispatch reportedly advised officers that while on the 911 call, they heard multiple females screaming and threatening people. When officers arrived on the scene, they were met outside by an unruly restaurant-goer.

The woman became involved in a verbal altercation with the local Applebee's manager because she was under the impression that "all you can eat" meant the whole table could enjoy one order of bottomless appetizers.

When informed by the manager that no, each person at the table would need to pay the $15.99 cost, words were exchanged, and things got out of hand.

Even with police on site, other diners told the offender how much she'd disturbed their dinner experience with her shouting, which led to more loud arguing. At one point, the woman even tried to cover another person's mouth with her hand while speaking.

After being warned of potential arrest for disorderly conduct, she continued to be disruptive. So, she was put in handcuffs and taken away in a patrol vehicle.

Shawneesha Cobbs of Chicago was taken to the Porter County Jail, where she was formally charged with disorderly conduct, a Class B misdemeanor.

This is what idiots get when they start playing games with pronouns.

Exactly. she was NOT arrested for sharing the meal. That is the explicit implication of that headline though.

She should have checked her privilege at the door.
If a whole table eats for $15.99, soon there will be no Applebees.

Here's a quiz.

1.The woman was arrested after she shared the appetizer. True or False.

2.The woman was arrested before she shared the appetizer. True or False.

You have to answer either true or false. Hint: Both answers cannot be true, and both answers cannot be false.

What part of the headline is a lie?

She was arrested for disorderly conduct, not for actually sharing appetizers.

First you start a pointless argument with an obviously erroneous point of view and lose it, so now you come back with a weak, distasteful comment.

You cheapen the discourse not once, but twice.

Exactly what I thought. Too bad they told her that English was racist in school, so she really didn’t know that you meant herself. And no one else. Retarded excuses from the left.

All sorts of nastiness happens now. Many Black people hate this crap as much as anyone else does - and lots of crap is done by people who are not Black.

I’ve become concerned about going out and about simply because the culture has been so debased on every level and among every ethnicity.

I act based on my own experience—not what other people tell me.

I know what I see.

How does someone fail to understand the meaning of “you” does not mean “all of you”???

You wrote to me - to ‘tell’ me something.

I know what I see, too. Your chances of being harmed by a Black person are very low, compared to what a lot of radical WHITE democrat politicians and voters are intending to do to you.
