""I'm sick of these gluttonous animals who have a 15 dollar tab sit there and eat as much soup salad and breadsticks as fast as they can, act like they own you, treat you like you owe them your entire existence, sit at your table for an hour and a half, eat like this is their last meal ever and then tip $4.""
""My strategy for these people is to over portion the soup and salad, and plow them with breadsticks, and they get too full to want seconds.""
""I don't think that anyone else but another OG server would understand how painful this can be. There are just certain things that make you die inside a little bit.""
""Just make sure you tip really well. You will make this waitress/waiter do triple the work for you compared to a regular meal.""
The 'Never-Ending Soup or Salad and Breadsticks' deal at Olive Garden remains popular in 2026, but it presents challenges for servers. Many servers express frustration over customers who take advantage of the unlimited offerings, often leaving low tips despite high service demands. Some servers share strategies to manage these customers, while others highlight the emotional toll of the experience. However, some diners are aware of these challenges and aim to tip well to support their servers during their visits.
