Why/How does rising gas prices make people want to work at Applebee's more?
Does it have to do with food pickup/delivery apps like Uber Eats no longer being feasible with rising gas prices? It was unfeasible with the gas prices as they were for most people already.
Plus these workers will have to drive to Applebees.

Eh... Even the "cheap" fast food restaurants are becoming a pain... Order at the kiosk, grab a plastic thing with a number, go to a table, wait... And prices have drastically risen on most items...
I'm surprised that so many seem to think the primary purpose of a business is to provide paychecks to employees and not to make a profit. To a business, employees are simply labor cost, one of many costs. It's only natural that business owners (like home owners) seek to cut costs wherever they can. It's about cutting expenses to save on costs, not about the recipients of those expenses.
What happened to employees being an investment rahter than just a cost factor? Do those same business owners only buy the very cheapest equipment they can, and then wind up replacing it repeatedly because they use it to death without investing in maintenance and repair either?
As a homeowner it's not always the wisest course to cheap out wherever you can, you often wind up paying for it down the road.

Yes. And sometimes not even then.
"Investing in our employees" was never really more than a feel good slogan in any event.
I worked for a glass bottle maker many years ago, one of the largest employers in the area next to the coal mines. The mines are gone but that glass plant kept plugging along.
The company (a large multi-national based in the US) had a big celebration about 12 or 13 years ago when the plant turned 100 years old. Speeches were made about how the future was bright for the facility and the employees, most of whom were multi-generational. It was closed and demolished the next year.
They always talking about employees being an investment.

It’s a real mystery. Gas prices go up so that is going to inspire people to drive to an Applebee’s and work there for cheaper than they would have before? I doubt anyone is going to be encouraged not to be a stay-at-home parent by $15 an hour and high gas prices if they weren’t encouraged by $20 an hour and lower gas prices.
Funny I had to google search where the nearest one was to my house (17.7 miles) because I couldn't remember seeing one in years. The local Fridays failed a few years back and we just had a 30+ year existing Outback Steakhouse close. I'm not a chain restaurant fan.
When we travel, we NEVER eat at any restaurant that we have at home. A Cheesecake Factory in Colorado is going to be the identical experience to one in California so why bother? That being said, a few years back we were in Sandusky, OH (Cedar Point) and the town literally has no restaurants but the Fridays at the entrance. We broke the rule that night and were thrilled to eat at Fridays after seeing what the other options in the town were!

I generally follow this rule as well... Although, Longhorn is a guilty pleasure of ours... And quite frankly, a steak is the one item that won't be the exact same from one Longhorn to the next...
