I wonder if all Olive Gardens will do this...if not, we'll search out another one. One time I was with a group of 10 at O.G. (and yes, they were pretty loud) and three bowls of salad were placed on the table and the server disappeared! I didn't say anything because I didn't want to draw attention as it was my first time out with them, but how inconsiderate was this?
Enjoyed the lesson on what tipping means and what tip stand for...it will make a difference on how much we tip. My husband lets me set the tip and I always erred on the side of generosity.[/QUOTE]
Regarding Olive Garden. The reason for not bringing more breadsticks is that they get cold. Also, there may be some at the table who doesn't eat bread.
A major Stockholder supposedly wanted to cut back on waste. It's all about profits but this policy could backfire.
I admire the hard work Servers do---tough job pleasing everybody. I do agree some could use better training.
Group noise is my pet peeve. When people get too loud it's often caused from too much drink. More partitions would help in some restaurants and a separate room for large groups.
