| - The servers here are very aggressive for tips. A few weeks ago my parents (late 70's early 80's) asked the server to take the check to the front since they weren't comfortable with the table top computer. Instead, the server used the table top computer, and made them choose a tip amount while she was standing there. Last night my wife and I went with them, and the server asked us to relocate to the bar after we were done because "they needed the table." When we left, there was only one other couple waiting to be seated. I can only assume he was next up for seating, and didn't want to miss another tip, even though I gave him a 30% tip because I knew we would want to stay awhile to visit with my parents. He was quite nice, and approached the subject tactfully, but when there was no one waiting other than the one couple, it gave me the impression he just wanted us out of there.
I hardly ever go to Olive Garden, but the next time I do, it certainly won't be to this location. There are many others to choose from, and I think whoever trains the servers needs to teach them better customer service, not just food service.
