i got hired about a week ago at teh Olive Garden, a Darden restaurant. Darden restarunts are quite rewarding for their employees i must say.

anyway...to my point. i am in training right now to be a server. its awesome, i get to eat almost everything for free so i can answer customers questions with my own opinion, and i get to drink wine like water so i can recommend certain wines with food. it rocks. i just ate a ton tonight, didnt drink too much, but it doesnt take much wine to tip the rocker. i am not much of a wine drinker anyway, makes me kinda sick....but i haven't mind it this week :woohoo: .

Cool. A cousin of mine worked for the Olive Garden. So what wines you like so far?

honestly not many of them....we have only done white wines so far. the reds start tonight, which i like more than white. i dont even drink wine that often.

Awesome!

I love the Olive Garden :)

Im sure you will make a decent amount in tips. Normal nights you will prbably see $150+ while on weekends $200+

They seem to be always busy :)

Good luck!

I used to like going there when they had their endless thing of wine. Where they give you this big jug of wine, and then when you pay you just tell them how many glasses you had.

we always just said 2. More like 4 each :happy055:

I guess that's why they don't do that anymore

yeah that was the honor system. they cant do it now, its a health regulation. once they leave the bottle they cant take it back, because the customer could spike it with something. gay i know.

but yeah, the most anyone makes there is about 600 a week in tips they say, plus 2.13 an hour. i hope i make good money, then i can possibly get that system i've wanted for the last year.
