What's wrong with asking for more bread at olive garden? It's the only thing halfway decent and pretty much a core value of keeping the doors open at that place.

Nothing wrong with it man, ask away. They put a lot of effort into making it hard to give you the amount of breadsticks a human would require because they want to sell you to go breadsticks. So standard was table plus one first basket, number of people at the table for subsequent baskets. I wanted you to have the bread, I also wanted tips from my other tables. People underestimate how long it takes to grab something and how long that can feel for another table who hasn’t been greeted (that’s a good 2 minutes). It’s not your fault, but it’s stressful.

Edit: I want to add a little perspective. When I left Olive Garden I worked at a restaurant where the only thing unlimited was water and handled up to 16 tables. My section at Olive Garden was 3 during peak hours, up to about 6 off hours.
