Summary
Olive Garden’s unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks deal has been a signature draw for years, but one server on TikTok, Madeline, claims it disregards servers’ experiences. According to her, the deal leads to servers running back and forth for refills during busy shifts, resulting in low tips. Madeline’s video has garnered over 466,200 views and sparked a discussion about tipping and server wages. Servers rely heavily on tips to make a living wage, and Oregon, where Madeline appears to work, has stronger wage rules for tipped workers.
