So, last night I went to Olive Garden for a little soup, salad and breadstick pick-me-up because I was having a bad day. It was freezing in the restaurant so I ordered myself a fancy coffee drink to warm me up. Boy was I in for a let down.
The coffee drink there is excellent and although it probably has as many calories as my minestrone, I was going to splurge. I forgot to "minus" the whipped cream, but figured this was a whipped cream kind of day.
For those of you who don't know, I drink my coffee kind of on the warm side. I don't want to burn my tounge so I take careful slow sips until it is just the right temp. I waited a minute or two before diving in to this warm treat that would thaw my fingers. So, I took a drink and it was cold. Not iced-coffee cold, but more like colder than lukewarm kind of cold.
In my typical "I am in a bad mood and freezing way", I made a big deal to my dining partner and then moved on. Yeah the breadsticks and salad are here...dig in!!
When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a tiny piece of a used sugar wrapper in my salad bowl! Now, I know times are tight and we are all into giving back to the environment, but recycled salad?!?! Can't I have a fresh bowl?
I will have to let the waitress know. I'll just enjoy my breadsticks first. Crunch!! Crunch?! Olive Garden breadsticks don't crunch. They are supposed to be soft and yummy! Did I just break a tooth?
Obviously this didn't help make my day better. The manager did make my meal free-which did help a little. But he didn't appreciate my recycled salad comment. Maybe they aren't allowed to laugh when customers are complaining about trash being in their salad-is that in the managers code book?

I can't believe that you went to Olive Garden without me. :( I almost feel like you cheated on me.
