Olive Garden: $100 for 7 weeks of pasta

If it was free all you can eat I don’t imagine I’d go more than once or twice.

If I was within walking distance of an Olive Garden I’d consider it; I’m really lazy.

Yes I like Olive Garden and could definitely get my money’s worth over 7 weeks. Without going crazy and gorging myself, even.

If I lived closer to one I’d do it just because I’m cheap :smiley:

I’d do it if I lived closer to an Olive Garden. Heck, you eat just three meals a week and you’re talking under five dollars a meal. That’s a good deal.

I love the idea! They’re DEFINITELY gonna lose money on it, if people like me sign up! I’ll strip the place bare, roll out of there on a bellywheel, and still come back the next day, ready to do it again!

I hope all these all-you-can-eaters remember to tip appropriately each time they dine.

At 20% of the meal cost?

Change 7 weeks into 6 months and I’m in.

Sure, if there was one close to me and I could do take out.

Actually, I haven’t had Olive Garden in about 6 years, but the last time it was really, really good. I was very surprised. I swear, the pasta tasted like fresh home made. Not that boxed dry stuff.

The quality has gone way down hill since then. I’d say in the last 2-3 years, Olive Garden went from “Sure, why not?” if someone suggests it to “Eww, anywhere else!”

I could see one of those Ultra-Marathon types running from Olive Garden to Olive Garden and carbo-loading at each stop

If I went every day, I couldn’t see spending less than $245 in tips.

I’ve never been to Olive Garden, so I have no idea what the food is like.
However, $100 to eat for 7 weeks!
That’s a lot of food for a little bit of money, even with tipping.

It’s a good deal but I’m still not interested. I don’t even know where the closest Olive Garden is.

No, I don’t really like their food. The breadsticks seem dry, all the pasta seems to taste the same, and I don’t like their salad dressing.

I haven’t been to Olive Garden in ages, partially because I noticed that their method of handling “Endless” orders (pasta, breadsticks, whatever) was to never come back to your table and get you more. So you get your Endless Shrimp Pasta, eat it, stare at the empty plate for thirty minutes until someone finally offers to refill it, wait for the new pasta and maybe have time to eat it before any normal person’s dinner would be over. Unless you want to camp out in an Olive Garden for five hours, it’s not worth it.

I’ve only been once. About 6 or 7 years ago. There was a significant wait for a table. I don’t recall the food, I assume it was fine. I do recall having to wait to be seated I wouldn’t put up for that for 6 weeks. I’d rather pay for my meal and not have to sit around the lobby. Now if they had priority seating, I might just do it.

Well, not exactly seating, but they do have the “priority trough” that comes with this deal.

Their idea of a promotion is to do something for 1,000 customers out of millions? If I’m not one of the select few, what’s the appeal? “Hey, you don’t have one of these passes. Too bad, so sad.”

The “appeal” is for Olive Garden: Get a bunch of people talking about Olive Garden without losing a lot of money on seven-week passes.
