      Damn dawg my parents send me a lot of pictures of bbq when they’re down there and it’s always about 6 slices of white bread sitting on top of everything as if someone had pulled half a loaf out and said “fuck it, it’s $.30 worth of bread”. What you do with it is your business but I’m not gonna pretend I believe you are the norm.

      Also, I think it’s hilarious that part of the food culture there is someone clearly spitefully giving you an amount of bread they believe you won’t complain about. I guarantee people still ask for more bread, don’t they? I worked at Olive Garden, they do.

      Sorry you’re the vehicle for my main beef with Texas, at least it’s a small one. In the Midwest we put ranch on everything and don’t have a reason to be alive so pobody’s nerfect.

        What’s wrong with asking for more bread at olive garden? It’s the only thing halfway decent and pretty much a core value of keeping the doors open at that place.

          Nothing wrong with it man, ask away. They put a lot of effort into making it hard to give you the amount of breadsticks a human would require because they want to sell you to go breadsticks. So standard was table plus one first basket, number of people at the table for subsequent baskets. I wanted you to have the bread, I also wanted tips from my other tables. People underestimate how long it takes to grab something and how long that can feel for another table who hasn’t been greeted (that’s a good 2 minutes). It’s not your fault, but it’s stressful.

          Edit: I want to add a little perspective. When I left Olive Garden I worked at a restaurant where the only thing unlimited was water and handled up to 16 tables. My section at Olive Garden was 3 during peak hours, up to about 6 off hours.
