I don't eat at Olive Garden, for obvious reasons, but aren't the mints just Andes mints, which are both extremely cheap and sold everywhere? I just checked Walmart and they are 48 for $3.78, EBT eligible.

Who they gently caress is trying to get a bunch of these free mints?

me. I want the free mints.

Three (3) Olives, I think you don't eat at Olive Garden because a garden of olives is way more than only three (3) of them and that makes you feel insecure.

I think it's okay to not have an entire garden of olives, because that's what the restaurant is for, to have all the olives so you don't need to have so many all the time.

I've never been to an Olive Gardens because they don't exist here but I can tell you that I would never let my relative lack of olives make me feel bad or prevent me from going there.

Olives grow in a grove not a garden. It's not like a, small plant thing. It's like the bigger thing that stretches out to the sky.

Does Olive Garden still just freeze all their pasta and then reheat it still?

A real tip, just go to Fazoli's instead. It's the same food but you don't have a server to tip. Also the food is cheaper to begin with.

You're welcome.

The early bird gets the worm
One time, maybe fifteen years ago or so, I was at olive garden with my wife. A manager approached us and apologetically comped us a dessert, but we were just eating normally and having a chat. To this day I wonder if I have resting bitch face or a naturally angry sounding voice or something. I don't think I do, but there will always be this doubt in the back of my mind now

Did Olive Garden do the Domino's arc where they admit their shortcomings, say they'll try to improve, and then make changes? Or at least started salting the pasta?

Or did they just say "yeah we suck" and continued on?

Managers don't comp for nothing. They were either hitting on you both or spotted the server spit in your food.

Must have been spit in our food because we definitely weren't getting hit on. We weren't rude or anything though, I guess sometimes you just wanna spit in food

There's a tiny clause at the bottom of the menu stating it's only unlimited with the purchase of an entree

Say you want bread with soup.

Then claim you were trying to order a bread bowl.

They'll probably let you keep what's already on the table.

I worked as a CT (Certified Trainer) at an Olive Garden for 9 years and the best tip I can offer you is be the exact opposite of Methanar and I promise you will get great food service.

That's all.

It's worse. Lower quality food, way more expensive, and they got rid of the two best dishes they had on the menu (braised beef tortelloni, and the chicken marsala, the latter which they brought back due to widespread demand). They hate their employees and they hate their customers.

The only time anyone should go to OG is for soup and salad at lunch -or- during unlimited pasta bowl and just keep trying different combinations and boxing up the other ones. I think you can do like three refills. Get the protein option. Eat for days. Don't go too heavy on alfredo dishes because it doesn't reheat well. Try the more unique pastas like cavatappi because some of them aren't available normally. Also, always order beer in the big glass, at least when I worked there it was like $1 extra for twice as much. I have OGPTSD.

you used to say olive and let live
but if this endless breadstick world in which we eat in
gives a free mint supply
olive and let die

Used a Groupon coupon at Saladworks for my Dad's birthday. $30 dollars worth of food for $15. He paid $5.00 on his own dime because he wanted a soda and I got a cookie for my soup later in the day.
