A TikTok video posted by @b0nz.c0m showed a woman who appeared to be an Olive Garden server sitting in the driver’s seat of a car and looking straight at the camera. On-screen text in the video read, “how i look at my tables when they try to share never ending pasta.” The clip had gained 2.1 million views, 227,500 likes, and more than 2,000 comments. The woman in the video had dark, shoulder-length hair with bangs and wore a black collared uniform shirt with a red and white button pin that read “Ciao Bella” and featured a tomato design. The video opened with her holding a neutral expression and wide eyes while a dramatic, suspenseful sound effect played. Her look then shifted. Her eyebrows raised slightly, her lips pursed, and her eyes narrowed. A short, high-pitched “ding” sound effect played as that change appeared on screen. Server outlines Darden policy on sharing one never-ending pasta bowl In the caption, the creator said she was not talking about parties in which everyone orders their own entree and then has others try what they got. She wrote that she considers that okay. She said she was talking about people who come in with a big group, order one never-ending pasta bowl, and think they can share it with everyone at the table while everyone else just gets a drink. She stated that practice is against Darden’s policy. @b0nz.c0m DISCLAIMER: I am NOT talking about parties that all get their own entree, then have everyone try what they got, that’s okay. I’m talking about when people think they can come in with a big group of people, order one never ending pasta bowl, and think they can share it with everyone at their table while everyone else just gets a drink. It’s against dardens policy and if managers catch you allowing this to happen they will write you up, give you less shifts, and fire you if it’s a continuous problem. No, i will not charge you if i see you taking a bite, but im not gonna let you blatantly and obviously break the rules. Its like if you were to go to a buffet with four of your friends but only pay for one person and expect to be able to feed the other three people. #trending #olivegarden #serverlife #servertok #restaurant ♬ original sound – Noah She wrote that if managers catch a server allowing that to happen, they will write the server up, give the server fewer shifts, and fire the server if it is a continuous problem. She added, “No, i will not charge you if i see you taking a bite, but im not gonna let you blatantly and obviously break the rules.” She compared the situation to going to a buffet with four friends but only paying for one person and expecting to feed the other three. The caption framed the face in the video as her reaction to that kind of table. Viewers responded in the comments with mixed views on sharing and on whether servers should enforce the rule. One commenter wrote, “acting like its coming out of your pocket is wild.” Another commenter asked why a couple could not share if they still paid for two separate meals plus a never-ending pasta. They wrote, “if me and my partner get two separate meals but get a never ending pasta why can’t we share? we are still paying for the same amount of pasta.” A third commenter wrote, “look man If I go to a restaurant, order food, and a waiter/waitress tried to stop me from sharing the food I just BOUGHT you are getting zero tip.” Another person wrote, “no pls leave me alone ill tip you same price as another pasta plate.” The debate over sharing never-ending pasta continues, as seen when a woman asked an Olive Garden server to surprise her with a meal. One commenter described a different visit. They wrote that their waiter brought extra plates to share the salad and said he would load up the next bowl so they could take it home, adding there were no rules to it. They wrote, “our waiter brought us extra plates to share the salad and even said: ill load up your next bowl and you guys can take it home, theres no rules to it. we tipped him VERY well.” Another commenter said people in the comments wanted the creator to risk her job so they could save $14. They wrote, “People in the comments wanting you to risk your job so they can save $14 bucks.” For Olive Garden, the strict enforcement of its sharing policy has drawn criticism, as one customer claimed her portion size mysteriously shrank with each refill. A commenter who identified as an Olive Garden server said sharing is allowed, but cancels the ability to order more. They wrote, “As an OG server, you CAN share, but it cancels your ability to order more. That is a policy we have to enforce or we can lose our jobs.”
