Current Events > So I got one of those Neverending Pasta Pass cards from Olive Garden

(+) Yeah! (+)

My relative got me the 2 month version, which expires on 11/18/18, which is great since I'd get sick of Olive Garden if it was more than 2 months. Basically, you get your choice of pasta, sauce, and a topping (meat or mixed veggies) plus breadsticks and your choice of soup or salad with unlimited refills on everything:

And it's all free. It's just suggested that you tip, which I do. I tip about $4-$5 per trip, depending on service and whether I get a pasta refill to go at the end. It's pretty awesome.

It probably was, but I'm paying less for it than a combo at a fast food restaurant and getting unlimited refills on everything lol.

Yeah, I've read a few of those articles/blogs. I've never gone more than once in a day. I'll go once every day for like 4-5 days in a row, then take a few days off since I inevitably get bored of eating there or I just want to get take out from somewhere else to bring home.

I usually go for the salad, and I almost always end up eating the entire bowl of salad (they usually give me a smaller bowl of salad when I'm by myself). Initially, I never asked for a pasta refill to go, and then one of the waiters offered it (probably for a better tip, which I gave him).

If I actually get a pasta refill and eat it there (on top of a bowl of salad), I'm way too stuffed to sit there and keep getting more refills of anything.

If true, he is probably the reason or one of reasons that ruined it for everyone else. The card has your name on it, and you have to show ID when you use it. Also, you can only use it for dining in.
