Protesters outside Applebee's - Thessaloniki, Greece


Applebee's describes itself as a "neighborhood grill and bar" but I'm not sure what kind of neighborhood thinks it's OK to leave people unpaid and short of money in the lead up to Christmas.

Protesters gathered outside a branch of the Applebbe's restaurant chain in Thessaloniki, Greece last night to draw attention to the fact that employees have not been paid for November despite Christmas being just two days away.

Eventually, a representative of Applebee's talked to demonstrators and promised that all salaries would be paid though not till 6th January.

Applebee's - Merry Christmas but not on our dime
