I agree it's petty, but what about the hundreds of posts here that always start with, "Did you tell the manager" whenever there's a complaint? Maybe the adjoining diners considered the waitress to be stealing. If Olive Garden policy is to pour a specified amount of wine, then it would be an infraction.

I've only seen ads for that undercover restaurant show, but isn't this the sort of thing they watch for?

It's one thing to complain about bad food or poor service but to whine because someone got something you didn't is petty at the very least. There is also a difference between over pouring and getting rid of the last of a bottle. Most servers will do this.

I would think having to "tell a manager" would be more than this situation.
This is kinda of an attitude issue where you should be able to smile an simply say, got lucky, was the end of the bottle....therefore end of the story.

Hope everyone had a Happy 4th

I'm being Devil's Advocate, but the motivation of the tattlers is unknown to anyone but them. Jealousy may not have played any part in it.

Mine was not house wine my wife's was.

Who would even notice how much wine the man at the next table is getting?
These customers were very petty, and obviously bored with each other's company.

What a mean-spirited, petty woman that was who complained! I hope karma bites her soon ... and hard.

Why do you assume it was a woman who complained? A man could have just as easily been the complainer. It just struck me as odd that people (not just you) are assuming it was a woman who filed a complaint.

what ever happened to fair is fair......


So your gonna pay the same price, for the lesser amount, and not question.......I think Not.....


In my opinion, the waitress should of followed the rules in regards to amount, and taken the bottle in back and finished it off herself.......

Good thing the waitress didn't work for Cracker Barrel.

Some people just love to whine, about wine or anything else. They try to create a soap opera in their life so they don't feel obsolete. Shame on the complainer.

Lets say, You order the same food, lets say a steak, exact same order, only difference your steak is half the size of mine, and I have much more fires and much bigger salad. Seems like the waitress dropped half of yours on the way out...

So your gonna pay the same amount as me and not question.......I think Not.....

You are kidding right? Nobody said anything about a steak, nobody said a darned thing about missing half their fries. It was a tiny, measly bit of wine in the bottom of the bottle. It was either pour it out or pour it in a customer's glass. The server should be commended for using common sense.

Pretty juvenile....but I admit...I like it.
