Oh, they were miserable alright. If there was more than one kid, they'd fight over it. I actually had people, before they sat down, tell the host(ess) to take the tablet away. They were assigned by table number, so whever it was, I had to use it since at the beginning, they forced us to use it for eveything, instead of the regular computer. I don't remember exactly how it worked for guests, if you could play a little then have to pay, or if they just paid up front. It was like $3 for unlimited play. I do remember there was a way to put it in demo mode and that's what we'd do on break is eat and play the games. I never ate there before, rarely while I worked there (talk about 'slop'), and haven't set foot in one since I left. Good riddance to bad rubbish! The IHOPs in the surrounding area are gone, and I thought they were better, used to go there once in a while, but there's still a few Applebees around. I can't believe they're still in business.
