have eaten at Olive Garden restaurants for numerous years but today was the first time I was charged for having salad from my friend's bowl of salad. I ordered soup and he ordered salad so he served me some salad on a small plate. When the bill arrived, I was charged $4.49 for having salad. I asked her to get the manager, who took the charge off my bill. My friends and I have always shared the salad even if some of us order soup. Most servers ask if we need extra salad plates but I have never been charged until today. I will probably eat at another location next time since there's one on every corner.
