Olive Garden

The other day we went out to eat at Olive Garden and we had a good meal. When the bill came I added it up as I always do but something was not right. When I added up the figures I was being over charged by 75 cents. I know this is a small amount but if they do this to every customer they will take in a lot of money.

Our waitress came over and asked if everything was OK and I let her know the bill was wrong. She went to the manager and let him / her know about the error and they fixed my bill by removing a drink to bring the total down.

I contacted Olive Garden and they are now sending me a gift card to use at their restaurant - this will give me another chance to examine the bill to see if they are still over charging.

Make sure if you go out to eat you add the items on the bill to make sure they add up.

When were you going to let your wife know you got a gift card for complaining about 75cents.
