Consider the situation involving Shawneesha Cobbs, a 28-year-old from Chicago, who had a disagreement with the management at an Applebee&#8217;s in Portage, Indiana, as reported by WFLD-TV. Cobbs and her friends were dining there when a conflict arose that prompted a call to law enforcement. According to one member of their group, they mistakenly believed that the $15.99 &#8220;All You Can Eat&#8221; deal applied to everyone at their table.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Mail clarified that this promotion allows unlimited servings of either boneless wings, shrimp, or riblets along with fries. The report indicated that Cobbs ordered two specials and shared them with her companions. However, tensions escalated when restaurant staff informed them that each person was required to pay $15.99 because the offer was intended for individuals rather than groups. The group expressed their dissatisfaction to responding officers about what they perceived as unprofessional behavior from the manager and argued that the menu did not clearly state that the charge was per person.<\/p>\n<p>Cobbs even showed police the menu where it stated &#8220;per person&#8221; in fine print\u2014something they noted during their investigation into the matter. As tensions rose further, Cobbs attempted to involve police regarding another couple leaving the restaurant whom she claimed had exchanged words with her group; this led to more verbal exchanges and caused officers to view her conduct as loud and disorderly.<\/p>\n<p>Police warned Cobbs that calming down would prevent charges against her; however, despite support from someone in her party advocating for de-escalation, she was ultimately arrested for disorderly conduct and taken to Porter County Jail after failing to diffuse the situation. In conclusion, after all was said and done, Cobbs&#8217; group settled their bill without any indication if they left a tip<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2324726,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Applebees-arrest.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[38184,38183,38185,38186],"class_list":["post-2324725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-all-you-can-eat","tag-applebees","tag-customer-arrest","tag-restaurant-news"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Applebees-arrest.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2324725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2324726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2324725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2324725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2324725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
