Before my life as a waitress, I used to spend a lot of time doing community theater. When I say a lot of time I mean basically, it was my life. When I wasn't on stage I was singing in a choir or at dance class. My life fully revolved around performing and I used to think I wanted to be a famous actress someday. I had big dreams of moving to New York and really "making it." Then one day I realized I wanted to be famous for all the wrong reasons and abandoned the idea. I wasn't an actress. I just like to tell stories and make people think differently. Theater helped me do that in the most direct way.
But the point of this post was actually about Applebee's. I know, I fooled you.
As most everyone knows Applebee's does something a little special for birthdays.
I say special, but not incredibly unique.
If you tell your server it is your, or someone at your tables, birthday they will get a crew together, come out of the kitchen clapping and singing and give you a free dessert!
Hooray...
Most servers despise this. Seriously, it is kind of grueling, singing and clapping over and over again all day. Not to mention trying to get other servers to come sing with you. AND you have to go make that free dessert yourself. To be honest, and most servers would agree with this, it is some of the worst news you could ever hear from your table.
But personally, even with all the annoying stuff that goes with it.
I love singing the birthday song. Love love love it. Wether it is my table or not!
It is one thing I do miss a little from the Bee's. Probably because it was my one chance to actually perform again for an audience. As little and pathetic as it was. It was still something I don't get to do very often anymore. Maybe this is my que to get back into theater? We'll see.
