I hate the Olive Garden.

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I hate the Olive Garden. (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 4/29/2013 2:10:46 PM EDT

As a connoisseur of fine olives, I finally allowed my wife to talk me into going to the Olive Garden. Never being there before, I wasn't sure what to expect. I anticipated a large selection of olive dishes available, perhaps as main dishes or maybe appetizers. Such items like garlic stuffed green olives, bleu cheese stuffed olives, you get the idea. Well I'm looking at the menu and I can't find any type of olives listed. Frustrated, I finally called over the nice waitress that was working my table and asked her if there was a separate menu for the olives or was I just overlooking them? She looked at me funny and said , "sir , we don't serve olives!" I looked at her in shock and disgust and without thinking loudly blurted out, " Are you shitting me?? That's like going to Fultano's Pizza parlor and being told sir we don't sell pizza!!" She looked at me with this look of disgust that I just blurted out what I said. I turned to my wife who was also giving me the stink eye and noticed that other patrons around me had stopped what they were doing and turned to see who just said that. It got very quiet and finally the waitress said, "sir, I can go ask the cook if he could put some of the black olives we use on our pizza on a plate and serve them to you." I told her no don't worry about it. I just can't believe that a business with the name of Olive Garden wouldn't serve some damn fancy stuffed olives. How stupid. My wife just shook her head and with a funny grin said "I can't take you anywhere". Guess I don't get out much

. So I stopped off at the Safeway deli on the way home and got me some garlic stuffed olives and took them home and enjoyed them with a nice cold can of Milwaukees Best!

There is no punch line , I'm simply saying that I was shocked to learn that the Olive Garden doesn't sell olives

Op has a point; most Italian restaurants would at least have some kinda marinated and/or stuffed olives for salads and whatnot.

AFAIK, Olive Garden only has canned black olives that they use in their house salad

That is pretty lame, but, it is just Olive Garden
