So you can only make 3 customer service mistakes total at Applebees? That's wild. Reason 1 wasn't fair, reason 2... eh that one was questionable lol. But getting fired for forgetting to ring in a dessert while you have 30 + people to take care of is insane.
Ive worked in kitchens/restaurants all my life. From what I have come across, chain restaurants like applebees, outback, bdubs.. you name it; consist of some of the strictest protocols required upon their servers. Some locations differ, but a lot have a very strict testing and training phase before even being able to solo serve a single table. Which is a good thing to an extent.
Uhh.. sir.. this is an Applebees.
Really insane
Yes that's great, but the customer has to be held accountable too. Don't be rude.and the kids mom isn't justified in asking for a bunch of free gift cards when the kid was corrected.
oh we were super busy , so we fired a guy . Now we're still super busy but now have less employees to help , GG
Three strikes you're out. Those are minor offenses. It's really heartbreaking to get fired over silly things especially at Applebee's. I hate crude, rude customers
Applebee’s customers are the worst
yeah, i find upper middle class people to be the cheapest and worse.
@@w1-em4nqupper middle class aren’t going to Applebees.
Management should have been fired for not having enough staff. Regional manager and manger doing nothing to serve the 30 customers
Rude people seek out places like Appleholes where they can take advantage of people. Go to a biker restaurant and pull that scat, you will find yourself thrown out.
2:47 LMFAO , W editor ....
back in 2005, my ex and i were going cross country in our Toyota Dolphin, and stayed a few days at a truck stop outside of St. Cloud (i thought it was a TA, but maps isn't show a TA). ended up meeting this old guy Sprocket, who did 4 tours of Vietnam (he wanted to go back for a 5th, but they wouldn't let him). he lived in his minivan with his cat, and made money by illegally souping up CB radios for truckers. we also met this wonderful woman driving for Purdue or Tyson, one of the big poultry companies.
well, she had a two day break or so, and Sprocket lived there, and given it was Thanksgiving time we decided to have them over for Thanksgiving. i don't even remember what we cooked anymore, but it was awesome.
that's what i think of when i think of St. Cloud, really good memories. oh, and the lady truck driver gave us one of her showers (unless you're a trucker they usually won't sell you one) so me and my ex totally boned in there. 12 stars.
What the f is this comment....
WTF!?!?!? hahaahhAHHAHA lol
Sonny is like lowkey "Success is the best revenge". 😅👍
wrrr
If only he could have talked to the people that fired him to rub it in their faces
He did what we all want to do when let go unjust i love it😂
💩
It is
I don't see why you got the strikes.
You got the right skills for servers and no you didn't deserve to get fired for a common mistake
Remember, this is a self reported story. Everyone's the good guy in their own stories lol
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist0repent to Spider Man “I swear to you, from now on, whenever I’m around, wherever I am… no one dies.”
Amazing Spider Man #655, Volume 1.
Seemed like we were offering completely unsolicited quotes from fictional characters. Hopefully I got the format right?
@@aus87185 nice, do you feel cool now? lmao btw Jesus existed in his time spiderman is a fictional character though so you got some of that right.
@@whoandwut Jesus and Spiderman share the same level of evidence: Their existence was written in a story.
Nobody said anything about feeling cool. I was just jumping on the trend of unsolicited fictional quotes.
@@whoandwut Jesus is a fictional character. There's no factual evidence or physical proof of his existence aside from the bible and other scriptures written by a bunch of random people from the past that are literal fictional tales. It's easier to justify our existence saying we're made in the eyes of god and we have a purpose other than being humans. There's no God, Jesus, or Satan. If anything and there was such a thing, you'd be better off with Satan as your lord as he didn't believe in the nonsense that god spewed. If you wanted the most narcissistic individual to ever exist, that would be god. In revelations and in the Bible there are many contradictory tales, and lots of stuff about incest, rape, stoning your own daughter to death etc.... Jesus has nothing to do with the modern world. Religion is a comfort for the afraid. Death is gonna get you no matter. Don't be scared of nothing. You won't even know.
I got fired from crapplebees also. They had kiosks at the table with touchscreens to leave ratings and i had 2crackhead dine and dash and a chrapskate who wanted a free appetizer at this point. The last straw was the gm drunkenly calling me at 10 pm to say I offended the cook. The cook was mad because I did side work on a slow day for the other cook in exchange for extra food. The reason she gave management was that I said something inappropriate when I mispronounced fajita wraps like Peter did in an episode of family guy, insisting that I asked her where the vagina wraps were. (Note this joke was made 3 weeks before her "complaint") She was 57 and covered in skin tags btw. I was so pssed i made sure to spread the wird around town that theynwere unsanitary. Since then the location has closed and the gm fired. Dont treat hardworking tipped employees like scum.
57 and covered in skin tags cracked me tf up 😂😂😂😂
not the skin tags
They were a dick but so are you. You put dozens of people out of a job to get revenge on a couple of managers.
Food looks shit anyway. Lol.
NEVER trust someone with more than 3 skin tags I always say.
2:40 at that moment I said to myself “no wonder he was fired” 😂😂
Love the concluding statement! Truly an example that one rejection will lead you to another opportunity and who knows what and where it will bring you to!
This is the best example of "if you don't want me at my lowest, you don't deserve me at my best"
2:40 this part really felt like it was on purpose💀
Dude I love your channel you're funny as hell and give great descriptions of what you're eating while telling a great story lol
I just got terminated last Thursday because the company that I worked for(for 7 years) downsized on employees. Feeling like crap right now and I did not expect those words in this video. Thank you, Sonny.
Good luck on your future endeavors my man, stay strong, you will find a better opportunity Insha'Allah.
@@mohamedkhalil6003what he did is just dumb. Chasing customers for 5¢
@@mohamedkhalil6003And be god with you on your journey.
I was downsized from my job after the 2008 market crash. My boss and I both cried. In the end, though, I got my dream job and have been thriving there ever since. Best luck and wishes to you! You will find something awesome!
Losing my crappy job made my life very much happier. Good luck, don't just take the first job that comes along, take one you want
You freaking crack me up. The little inappropriate (but oh so appropriate) jokes, the substance references, the ability to connect with people, all keep me coming back. Keep up the good work.
I completely agree with you. I have watched his videos for a while now and this one had me cracking up as well.
Me 2... My favorite food show... My favorite food reviewer... Sonny is hilarious.
I love the way you are keeping your voice down, almost like you are still scared of getting told off! You have come a long way from 2k subscibers and eating century-eggs - best channel on UA-cam by far.
Awesome episode very well put together and very personable, I know lots of people can relate to being fired from a job and the want and will move on and do something great.
The guy complaining about his food not being there basically was the best help for you… being fired was basically the best thing to happen else you could have still been there 👌🏼
Yeah the lunch lady is still there
That was definitely the best thing that could have ever happened to you, you are definitely where you deserve to be now. Congrats.. Keep up the great work Sonny Side!!!!!!
2:44 editors thanks you for being so funny 😅😂
Sonny, Applebees firing you, their 3-strike BS, and management ineptness are ultimately our win. OMG, the dipping sauce joke and your editing team's work together are priceless. Keep creating the magic!
3 strike management is an example of the type of things that drive people out of jobs. And they wonder why they can't find people to work. Glad you changed jobs and brought us the BEFR vids, they are one of the few things that get me through each week!
Theirs a reason why ill never work for a company that has a 3 strike policy
@augustuslunasol10thapostle there's*
Applebee's is closing many stores now I can see why
Glad that your firing was a blessing in disguise ! Guessed that you are a much better person now after the traumatic experience of being FIRED as a teenager
Wish you best of luck in the future
Sonny turned a somewhat devastating event into quit arguably the best comeback story in resturant history.
Too funny. I swear me and you have way too much in common. I, also worked @ Applebee's as I had stated in a previous comment. 4 of them. I was there when they were the 'It' place, when casual dining just started. Before that- it was ALL mom and pop's except for fastfood. Applebee's I still love. Their food is usually really good and it's affordable, when nothing else is. I remember the Riblet's, Mmmm. Also the Tequila-Lime-Cilantro chicken on the Mex salad, I would sneak in the Cooler and scarf it unbeknownst. Fridays used to be even better but they dumbed their menu down too much, back in the day they were like Cheesecake Factory= everything was phenomenal. I like your new vid format to, the humor and edits for it were enjoyable. Anywho, later broski.
Sonny turned that negative 5 cent tip into a couple mil 💰
Sonny is actually funny af 😂😂keep up the good work bro 💪🏾
I been watching your over seas vids and never knew you was from Minnesota I just found my favorite food channel
I'm a cook at Applebee's and I make everything in this video and I never loved and hated one video at the same time 😂
As someone who's been working the restaurant industry for over 10 year's I feel you on the stories, I've had my fair share of annoying customers
Such a good entertainer.. the whole team does such a great job.
I have been a fan for a while now. I love your videos, love your jokes! This one, by far had me busting up!! Take care and thank you !!!
Clearly you were meant to be where you are now dude, I love your humor while you tell us your story. A great review from start to finish.
I'd say the last strike reflects most poorly on the regional manager. He could see firshand that your manager failed to properly staff the restaurant to handle a surge in customers, and decided to help her throw you under the bus instead of calling her out on her own mistake.
Also, I'm impressed you managed to eat all that without needing a coronary stent right afterwards.
Sonny, you are a hell of a guy, you made an opportunity where there was none. You are awesome my friend.
This is absolutely amazing, What a great angle, stories, and food review so brilliantly layered. And a wonderful ending about being fired, and in every anecdote I probably would have done something similar to get my three strikes. This deserves an award!
Thank you for sharing this. I can see your story helping a lot of people.
Lol, this was one of my favorite videos. We all have stories of getting canned, but you go back to the same place very successful and get to enjoy the experience and look back on how you made it! Awesome!....Being fired from one job led me to take a chance and end up with a much better career and life for my family. One closed door leads to an open one. Keep up the great videos!
It’s wild how Applebees only allows 3 mistakes when they’re always understaffed
I hate that their food is actually decent though 😅
Well now you see why they're understaffed, lol.
3 mistakes is actually generous. People are just lazy and no one wants to work anymore. That’s just the truth!
@@taquitossuaves blah blah. What you’re saying is don’t work. Gotcha! But quit taking public benefits then!
@gilda3372 oh brother. Try working in a restaurant and going one day without a mistake. It's very hard. You're very out of touch with actusl restaurant work.
2:45 OMG.. made my day.. LMFAO
Sunny was on a mission, looool glad you did this tho, shows people that sometimes right after your worst experiences there is greatness on the other side, just have to push through and find a way, continue being a better version of yourself, thanks Sunny much love from JA bless!
Such a great success story. Everything happens for a reason. I am happy for you and your family. Love the show and thanks for always sharing with your followers.
That incident with the salad dressing was hilarious 😂
Somehow gross if u think of his comment 😅
@@lynnkesh254 Wow I did not think of that😅
2:52 😂😂😂😂 had me dying 😂😂😂
Crazy…… I grew up in St Cloud! Glad to see you’re successful! Love your videos!
genuinely one of the coolest videos youve made. really interesting to see a more personal side of you
Funny enough, we ate in that very same Applebees back in 2003. We were moving our family from Washington State to Ontario, Canada, and made a stop for the night in St. Cloud. It was the first time we’d ever eaten in an Applebees. With our three kids, we wanted someplace family friendly close to the hotel. The service was good, food fine, and prices about what was expected for a sit down chain. No complaints and we definitely tipped! 😁
The only thing, I got to say, you're so brave and HUMBLE!!! ❤❤❤
Hi Sonny. Greetings from Colorado! Thanks for your content. In the mid-1980s, I sojourned in #StCloud for a year, for my ministry internship. As with you, a LOT has happened over the years since. Blessings to you and yours...
sometimes i want everyone to work a year or two in food service/ retail so they don't become Karen, but sometimes i'm not sure anyone deserves to go through that.
I feel both side. I always polite to everyone. I am an Asian. But I don’t have a good English and I look dumb. When I was student, I always go to a Korean restaurant. I was buying their food for 2 years couple time per week. Do you know how they treat me? I saw they put the leftover soup from a customer into a container and filled up some water and added little more food and gave me.
Some customers are bad, but some servers are bad too.
Say what you want about Applebees, but whoever made that mexican burger thing nailed medium rare. That looked really good.
all of their food is precooked
@@mrrooster4876 they don’t precook the steaks or burgers. They have flattops for that.
actually, their steaks are precooked. 90% of their food is just reheated, known several people that worked at several different applebee's. @@ercedwrds
CLEARLY AN APPLEBEES EMPLOYTEE DEFENDING THE SHAME
@centimeter2777 clearly someone whose caplocks is all sticky cause why you yelling?
This one hit me hard. You were just doing your best, but to them it wasn't good enough. But your best still ended up being good enough (better than good enough). Love your reviews, but this is such a great lesson for those who feel like they aren't adequate. Just because they tell you... you aren't worthy... doesn't mean you aren't worthy. Stay yourself, do what's right and keep growing! I hope you reach a younger audience for this, they need this. 💪
2:46 AYOOO HAHAHAHAHA
Thank you for being so open and being inspiring to someone who may need it. The quesadilla burger has always been my favorite as well
No don't fire Sonny. He's very talented, and wow he can adapt. I love your best ever food review show! I really liked this video. Great story man.
Well if he did'nt got fired, he probably wouldn't have this wonderful UA-cam channel. So it's like a blessing in disguised.
Okay but it’s so fun having Sonny review food I’ve actually had before
The ultimate flex: becoming the most influential food reviewer in UA-cam, and returning to the restaurant that 66% unfairly dismissed you, and reviewing, among other things, their microwaved pasta.
Honourable mention for Cody and Noel and the Camu powder 😂
Life goes on, so Live.
Thank you Sonny❤
love your ending words, really give me a great boost, thank you soo much.
So amazing you're from St. Cloud!!!! I'm from a small town close by and our big city trips were day trips to St. Cloud!!!
Love how you censored your name. We all know what it is Sonny lol 😂
Will Sonbuchner
You think he uses his real name for his channel? Lol
@@stevenmooney1018 never said that
@@stevenmooney1018 well since more than 95 percent of UA-camrs use their real name is it unreasonable to expect his UA-cam name to be his real name?
Maybe he censored the nickname he had at the job, like “Sunny Buns” or “Big Willy” lol
How are you even supposed to work there long term with a 3 strikes rule? All servers get complaints eventually.
That's what i thought too. People make mistakes and if the strikes never get removed, you'll eventually get fired no matter what.
Interesting that Sonny's old co-worker is still employed there. She must be a saint.
not to mention its a low entry job and they treat it like the end of the world on 3 strike what the hell.
I like learning more about you! Thanks for sharing 🎉
The Two Girls One Cup reaction video at 2:50 killed me.
lol Sonny was very funny in this video. i like the loose relaxed vibe
strike system is such an awful way to run a business, glad everything turned out for the best :)
I loved Applebee’s back in the day! I loved the Cajun shrimp basket when I’d visit my grandparents in FL and I loved the French Onion Soup in KY until about two years ago when our local Applebee’s went downhill, quickly. I also loved the WW’s blackened chicken salad when they had a partnership with them for several years. I hope the make a comeback!
Cool story & exposure based on your Truth ❤
Then to put them on blast & to SHOW your glow up... PRICELESS!
Thanks so much for making this video Sonny. I've been kinda bummed since getting laid off last summer. I've been applying but no offers yet.
It’s okay bro. You’ll get it one day. I believe in you
The fact that we get free food & travel videos on UA-cam by Sonny Side is truly a gift. 👍👍👍
A gift.
Sonny #1.
2:44 sonny 😭😭😭😭😭🤣 LMAOOO
❤ thanks for sharing your experience. You’ve came a long way and really inspiring me to travel more and maybe even move out of the country.
Thanks Sonny, I realize why I am fat now that I eat out at these places. These are all extremely tasty but extremely heart stopping. I always enjoy your American food Videos.
After 15 years, that heavy set guy is probably dead from a heart attack after having an unfulfilled life, and you're alive, doing phenomenal, and enjoying a very fulfilled life. You win.
Those last few lines hit me hard.. I'm having hard time at work.This motivated me a bit
Welcome back home Sonny. I'll have to go to that Applebee's. My nephews goes to st.cloud state. Love your vids!!!!
That salad dressing/'teenager' joke got me, not going to lie; I was thinking the same thing, lol. Thank you, Sonny, for always keeping your childish sense of humor. 😆
That was gross but funny. But now I want to know what video those guys were really reacting too.😂
Applebees is like taking all the frozen food in the back of your freezer and turning that into a restaurant.
😅 hey sunny am here to Rep Kenya i watch all ur videos and enjoy them pretty much.
i like your take on this life experience, thanks for the words of encouragement. calling me a loser was spot on when i dealt with something similar so thanks
Fast casual places like Applebees love to hyphenate and combine words like mexi-ranch and irresist-a-bowls. Sonny, did that meal taste vindica-licious?😂
Hahhaha, "Today I am going to the restaurant I was fired 15 years ago" that part killed me 😂😅
loved the pep talk at the end
Nice motivational message at the end . I flunked out of medical school, that too in my final year, was almost a doctor. I'm currently exploring new alternatives, hopefully something will work itself out.
Hey Sonny, as a Korean-American, I really like your character and how you get Korean stuffs right, time to time, from your experiences back in the day. And, I think you didn't really deserve the fire, but , agreed, that was probably the good thing that happened to you. A-peace!
Sonny. Dead set mate, youre a legend. I never knew how people loved celebrities or cried when they died...
But dude i love you, your personality, your humour your witty sarcasm.
Ive watched your vids for years now and i share your content wherever i can.
Proper fan youve got here . Keep up the fantastic work. You have no idea how happy you make millions of people.
Much respect for working hard and succeeding ❤
I don't have to give comments because you already said it in your video.......I am glad that your channel exist ,i have enjoyed watching your channel since it begun.....the most obvious difference your channel from everyone else is you are a funny man....keep going strong...god bless
their spinach artichoke dip is still one of my favorites
LMAO I love Sonny and his editors... 2:45-2:54 got me 💀
I promise to never eat at applebees ever again for the unreasonable way they treat their employees.
I'm not going to eat there because of the food 😂
@@AncientMysteriesAndInnovations , yeah fr, food is low quality frozen shit. only alcoholics and hillbillys eat there i think
@@clixyxd7426 Basketball-Americans LOVE the place and they don't tip either.

"I'm doing okay now" YOU'RE A MULTI MILLIONAIRE! 🤣🤣🤣
Great video. I too am an Applebee's
server. The Q burger you showed was my fav & when a customer asked me what I recommend I say the Q burger. They loved it. Thanks Sonny for your video.
Listening to the reasons why you got fired leads me to understand why the US is full of entitled Karens given the lack of support that the Management gave you. Yes you made mistakes but good management will help you learn and push past mistake whilst at the same time supporting you when you have to deal with total jerk off customers.
Thanks for sharing your life story. Maybe next time you can share your story on how you meet your wife?
I like the little edits you've been doing
"I haven't experienced this since I was a teenager...." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☝🏽 .. doooooood ...👌🏽
I hate those electronic things at the tables. Chili's tried to have us order from one right after covid. Manager tried to tell us no more menus since covid was so deadly. We proceeded to walk out and they finally gave us real menus.
herd that
🐃
To all managers, never be afraid to fire someone. I was fired once, felt like hell. But I went on to own two businesses and had a long career as a project manager. Not getting fired would stopped all that from happening.
"... You're gonna feel like a complete loser. And, probably, you are." 😆😆😆
Digging the edits. Applebees had all you can drink margaritas a while ago and it was fun to watch. Try the curds with carmel sauce next time you get them anywhere. 4:30 chilis > applebees
