Does anyone else have the restaurant card?

I do hope you contacted Olive Garden Corporate office to let them know what happened.

Wow, a GUY just hairflipped.

We did contact Olive Garden, got a standard apology letter, which was not the purpose really. As I say we have gone to others since, without issue. The obvious problem as I saw it, was management had a crappy attitude, so allowed that in their employees. It was not a corporate policy obviously.

We almost went in to the infamous OG not long ago, my DH and I figuring surely the management had changed since 6 years ago!!! But it sits right next door to a Texas Roadhouse....and they are SOOOOO accomodating to us, we went with what we knew!!!

I do have to say, the one thing I read on here that surprised me most was that a restaurant would prefer you to ask for a special order--an entirely differently prepared meal, as opposed to serving others off of the senior/childrens menu. I NEVER would have thought of going in and ordering something cooked in a manner not shown on the menu!!! Live and learn!!!

I was just wondering if this thread needed to be moved to rants and raves.

I went to a French-inspired restaurant the other night and had two selections from the amuse bouche (sp?) menu (~1 oz food each) and an appetizer (2 large scallops with garnish). It was perfect! we both drank wine (not during the meal for me!) and hubby got dessert, and we tipped as though we had ordered two Entrees.

When we go to regular restaurants I just take the leftovers home for another meal or two (or three!). I feel amazed when my husband finishes a whole huge restaurant portion (plus bread!) - it amuses me that I'm amazed since I would have eaten the same pre-band...

I think the only time I would use the card (I got mine at my first fill appointment) is at a buffet.
