As a former Olive Garden server all of this stuff works and much more. You can literally do anything you want as long as you're a big enough rear end in a top hat about it. You can even get your meal comped if you're pissed off enough about whatever it is you want to be angry about. Just verbally abuse the gently caress out of everyone you come across and they'll treat you like a king.

i feel as if the reason the server would give you 20 mints is because they think you'll tip well for it so it's not really free (if you want to keep going to the same olive garden)
No server ever assumes anyone who needs special treatment is going to tip well.

The best tippers and customers are the ones who know what they want and are in/out in the shortest time possible. If you're a pain in the rear end, they already know you're not worth their time.

Honestly none of the stuff on this list is a big deal if you're just up front about it and not weirdly and trashily secretive about your scheme. Like the other goon said it's not a hack it's just being nice to your server. You could literally go, "Hey, how can I get the most breadsticks I can out of this place?" and they will probably be honest with you.

Two very memorably funny experiences I had, though the first was a bit annoying-

These two ladies were stuffing their purses with breadsticks and salad. They were trying to be stealthy about it and wrapping them in napkins and pretending they ate them but their table was right by the drink station and everyone was watching them do it. Then at the end they did the to-go thing noted above, so they probably walked out of there with like 3 salads each and 30 breadsticks.

Another time I was serving this table and they were acting all indignant about the quality and presentation of the pasta or some inconsistencies on our menu. They kept going on like they were hot poo poo and this dude at my other table piped up and was like, "You know this is the Olive Garden right? This is the Applebee's of Italian restaurants, what are you expecting here?". Guy was cool as hell.

Sorry for being on topic btw, back to av talk

However, if I might make a suggestion-

what about the “more bang for your buck” wizard master?

or the “smart investment” wizard master?

or even the “highly efficient” wizard master?

this guy thinks he can take on wizard master

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?
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.
