Would be so uncomfortable but a great place to stash everyone’s bags and jackets? Maybe?

u/Feisty-Donkey 2d ago

Also a good toddler wrangling corner. They can stand on the bench and look out supported by a parent and not be running underfoot

u/DarkMagickan 2d ago

I'll be honest, when I was a toddler, you wouldn't have had to wrangle me into that corner. I would have gone in there exploring.

136

u/Feisty-Donkey 2d ago

That’s why it’s perfect!

51

u/MangoMaterial628 2d ago

I would want to sit there now!

u/vong888 2d ago

Yeah, honestly. Looks safe and comfortable

5

u/AloeVeraTidePod 1d ago

Yup same! A cozy secure corner, I love it.

1

u/DarkMagickan 1d ago

I would, too, but I fear I'm too big.

12

u/PsyOpBunnyHop 2d ago

It's for when you're napping.

17

u/robgod50 2d ago

I'm actually starting to think this is a great design as a little fun corner.

50

u/deg_ru-alabo 2d ago

Or a heap of bags and jackets as a fourth wall

u/baroquesun 1d ago

Put baby in the corner

2

u/9bikes 1d ago

Nobody puts baby in a corner.

6

u/ShanShen 1d ago

My 10yo and 7yo would definitely fight about who got this corner!!

2

u/bbrit89 1d ago

As a parent I would legit request this table. That is the perfect little kid corner.

83

u/CharieRarie 2d ago

That was my first thought, excellent bag stash place.

34

u/Nomadic_Reseacher 2d ago

Baby carrier would fit well.

23

u/Sarcastic-as-F-dude 2d ago

Used to put the car seat there.

u/zep1211 1d ago

probably used to be a POS terminal, who knows what they are doing with it now

4

u/ArjJp 2d ago

stash everyone’s bags ..and your paraplegic amputee uncle Steve

u/CatProgrammer 2d ago

That's where you put the baby.

u/KoalaMandala 2d ago

Nobody puts baby in that corner

11

u/CatProgrammer 2d ago

Where do they put it then?

10

u/Schnutzel 2d ago

In the square hole?

u/lsp2005 2d ago

Dirty Dancing

u/KoalaMandala 2d ago

Not in the corner

u/Miserable_Peak_2863 2d ago

Nobody puts babe in a corner lol 😂

u/suh-dood 2d ago

I'm that baby

2

u/ItsNataBaka 19h ago

Exactly what I was thinking. Specifically a sleeping baby in their carseat.

163

u/yamimementomori 2d ago

That’s the introvert inner or the cope corner.

7

u/Waddleplop 1d ago

The cope corner. 😂

u/clearfox777 1d ago

The third wheel nook

u/ConspiracyBarbie 2d ago

I worked there a long time ago. We had a cubby like this near the front seating area/host stand that held the brown booster seats for kids. I wonder if this was the original purpose for this spot before they did a remodel.

1.3k

u/capricornicopia- 2d ago

As an autistic person that is literally my ideal seat. I wanna sit there so bad. Just me n my cubby.

198

u/LeXiMoLe97 2d ago

This was my first thought too! I’d love to hide away in there, all confined.

54

u/Agreeable-Account480 2d ago

I would’ve loved this as a kid!!

u/TwinSong Reddit Orange 1d ago

u/LeXiMoLe97 1d ago

oh my gosh these are great xD

84

u/TheWildManfred 2d ago

As a not autistic person this is also literally my ideal seat

21

u/spkoller2 2d ago

Yeah it’s a private lounge area with back support

60

u/-captin 2d ago

I don’t think this has anything to do with autism and more to do with just a comfy spot

71

u/Frooonti 2d ago

They're actually just cat people and are naturally drawn towards anything that even remotely resembles a box

6

u/AloeVeraTidePod 1d ago edited 1d ago

Lol, when I was working as a stagehand pre pandemic I always slept under a table (but only tables next to a wall!) in the backstage catering area in my breaks.

I also brought a small pillow and a fleece blanket with me. Headphones in, hoodie sleeve over my eyes and I was asleep. Do I even have to mention, that I'm neurodivergent?

17

u/capricornicopia- 2d ago

Well. You’re not wrong.

19

u/Axl26 2d ago

I was about to call this the autism corner too.

I'm glad there's a consensus on this.

10

u/No-Description-3111 2d ago

I used to sleep across the top of my twin mattress so that I was squeezed in between the wall and dresser. Idk why, was just comforting. This is my ideal seat!

15

u/capricornicopia- 2d ago

✨c✨o✨m✨p✨r✨e✨s✨s✨i✨o✨n✨

u/imaginechi_reborn 16h ago

Yes! Unfortunately for me I would have a panic attack if I was in a confined space

2

u/TwinSong Reddit Orange 1d ago

I use a weighted blanket which functions similarly.

2

u/No-Description-3111 1d ago

I dont like those, they make me feel trapped. But I know a lot of people with anxiety or restless sleep problems have had great luck with them.

1

u/capricornicopia- 1d ago

If a whole weighted blanket makes you feel trapped I’d recommend trying a weighted stuffed animal. My aunt gave me one for my birthday and it replaced her as my favorite thing (99% joking lol).

13

u/Uh-Usernames 2d ago

Same.

I WANNA CURL UP AND SIT THERE!!! AND MAKE IT DARK! :3

3

u/JBlooey 1d ago

You’d have to pry me out of that corner with a crowbar.

4

u/pongpaktecha 2d ago

Nappy corner

2

u/Arghoul1018 1d ago

I thought it was the inner child in me making me think that but maybe it's the autism lol

2

u/kingkiller690 1d ago

LEL The tism!!!

4

u/SML8180 2d ago

This! I'd just wedge myself in there and be content and comfy

3

u/No-Duhnning 2d ago

Came here to say that this would be my favorite spot.

2

u/bookwormsolaris 2d ago

I made a joke about this seat in another comment but in truth I'd love this too. I'd sit there and balance my plate on my knees and tip my server generously for letting me

2

u/viZtEhh 1d ago

I thought the same, give me a cosy corner and let me vibe

2

u/ASnipingFox 2d ago

Word for word what I said in my head…

1

u/Miserable_Peak_2863 2d ago

as a person on the autism spectrum I hear your voice 😘😍🥰

1

u/capricornicopia- 1d ago

Idk why you’re being downvoted but it really be like that

25

u/JeremyDonJuan 2d ago

My first food service job was at an Applebee’s and I can almost guarantee that’s a small storage bench/nook. We kept extra menus, kids activity packs, etc in it.

1

u/TheRoscoeVine 2d ago

I assumed it was for the bus bins.

70

u/Zero-lives 2d ago

Thats where you lay down after you eat applebees food

31

u/Call__Me__David 2d ago

The way the board underneath is cut, I'm guessing the original wooden plank bench broke and they decided to replace it with this poorly sized, padded one.

21

u/Quirkyquark43 2d ago

Introverts dream seat.

u/Traditional-Storm-62 2d ago

my autistic ass wants nothing but this

this is my hole

Looks cozy to me!

6

u/Kaeiaraeh 2d ago

Idk I wanna squeeze into that corner

4

u/Sanch_the_Heavy 2d ago

I sat in these as a kid!!!! Born ‘88, for reference.

Random to find, but these were indeed out there. It was nice not having to sit next to anyone while waiting.

5

u/Hatzmaeba 2d ago

This is the same for introverts what cardboard boxes are for cats.

2

u/Vibingcarefully 2d ago

If you have kids, it's a great place to have the wee ones go.

2

u/Schmails202 2d ago

The IDGAF special.

u/Worldly_Middle8131 2d ago

Eati'n good

1

u/Phage0070 2d ago

My bet is the cushion comes in one size.

1

u/Accomplished_Pen980 2d ago

Attack the coats and pocketbooks in there. Or let your toddler sit in there to color

1

u/KittyandPuppyMama 2d ago

Good place to set a car seat down while you’re waiting.

1

u/eightiesboo 2d ago

Perfect place for the wild kid that needs to be on technology for a minute or two lol … or bags

1

u/Ok_Jellyfish_8086 2d ago

That’s where you contain the jumping toddler.

u/BennySkateboard Reddit Orange 2d ago

Great if I can put my feet up and want to be left alone

u/bubdadigger 2d ago

That's the spot for in-laws.....

u/ChiefWeedsmoke 2d ago

I love that corner and would perch right up there every time

u/jeeztotheus 2d ago

For Mariah Carey only!!!

u/Zeppo_Ennui 2d ago

They used to stack booster seats there

u/bookwormsolaris 2d ago

Rude customers go in the time out booth

u/CoBudemeRobit 2d ago

food coma corner

u/NorCalFrances 2d ago

I would have totally have called dibs on that seat as a child.

1

u/GroGungan 2d ago

is this in PA?

1

u/stufoor 2d ago

Perfect nest. PERFECT NEST!!

1

u/NovelRelationship830 2d ago

Pile everyone's coats into that corner, eat a triple cheeseburger with a mega side of fries, wash it down with a milkshake and four or five beers, then you have a perfect little spot to nap in while you slip into a diabetic coma. Cozy.

1

u/EmSeaSol 2d ago

I want to sit there

1

u/Theonewhodoesstuffs 2d ago

This pic makes me kinda wanna either tuck myself into that corner or scream at the top of my lungs.

1

u/Woaz 2d ago

That’s my seat

1

u/InternalAbroad8491 2d ago

Found this and saw this lol

1

u/neils_cum_rag 2d ago

I love this. Would be down to have it next to my seat.

1

u/lintytortoise 2d ago

I'm napping hard asf in there after my endless appetizers and excessive drinking.

1

u/Manburpig 2d ago

It's so you can lay down after you get food poisoning.

1

u/montjoye 2d ago

you found this and you saw this???

1

u/the01li3 2d ago

Back board and a fold out table and that's the perfect 1 seater.

1

u/OrlandoGardiner118 2d ago

That Lieutenant Dan's seat.

1

u/ProtoPlaysGames 2d ago

This is the best fucking seat ever why are you complaining

1

u/MixaLv 2d ago

I would unironically sit there

1

u/outdatedwhalefacts 1d ago

That must be their reading nook.

1

u/otherguy--- 1d ago

Sure that's not a Wendy's?

1

u/Butterbean-queen 1d ago

That’s a crappy “redesign” because it wasn’t originally designed to be used like that. It looks like that was designed as a cubby to store stacked booster seats or maybe even stacks of menus.

1

u/anjo_bebo 1d ago

this isn't even a seating area though, it's a waiting area by the host booth right?

1

u/SCH1Z01D 1d ago

crap design and crap title, 2 for 1!

1

u/TroubledTimesBesetUs 1d ago

That is actually the Baby Carrier Cubby and I see no issue with it, hahaha.

1

u/HoofaKingFarted 1d ago

Great for my baby carrier

1

u/Battekha 1d ago

Idk about you all but I see a great spot to sleep

1

u/SandVessel 1d ago

It's a seat for Scringus, the Applebee's Gnome. He's small.

1

u/PrivatePilot9 The stupid, it burns! 1d ago

Everyone in r/introvert would get a boner over this, but would want it taller. And with it's own little table, and a curtain.

1

u/Arghoul1018 1d ago

The inner child in me says that's the best seat in the restaurant and idk why

1

u/bodhiseppuku 23h ago

A place to have a small child wait. Penned in by the sides and the person next to them on the bench. An easy way to keep the Tasmanian devil under control while waiting for a table.

1

u/Felix_Fickelgruber 17h ago

I would sit there and stash my bag in the little corner.

1

u/Miserable_Peak_2863 2d ago

Omg 😳 how can anyone sit on this

1

u/belly_goat 2d ago

My neurodivergent ass finding any possible way to squeeze myself in there. As a kid, you’d have to pry me out of spaces like this with a crowbar.

1

u/HardLobster 2d ago

Children, autistics, etc. would all love to sit there while waiting, this is an amazing design.

u/eleven57pm 2d ago

Damn Applebee's still exists?
