Late Tuesday evening witnesses (employees and single dads) said they saw a man seated in the Nicholasville Road Applebee’s unfurl his silverware and then place the napkin in his lap.

“Who is he trying to impress?” asked one of many Todd’s in attendance. “Like, is he worried he’ll get this bourbon steak sauce on his good sweatpants? This isn’t TGI Fridays man, keep your napkin on the table, we’re not putting on airs here.”

“When I saw him walk in and put the napkin on his lap I immediately ran back to the kitchen and told them the CEO was here,” said waitress Tammy. “At the very least I figured he was a secret shopper or something.”

“I totally get what he was doing,” said another Todd. “I love those microwaved riblets they have but I don’t want my kids coming over on my weekend and seeing the shame stains all over me.”
