I do not like these things.

It's what Olive Garden is to Italians. I thought it was pretty good too, but I don't know if I'd call it good Chinese food.

After eating at a real Italian place, I can no longer eat Olive Garden without feeling ripped off

My last unit assignment before I got out of the U.S. Army was the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, New York. The city of Watertown was approximately six miles to the south. There was a little Chinese resturant there. The chef was the owner. The place was a dive (just a hole in the wall), but the food was amazing. The owner had been a cook at a Chinese restaraunt in Chinatown in Boston. There was always a couple old (Chinese) codgers hanging out reading Chinese language newspapers, smoking and playing dominoes.

I didn't realize until we left Ft. Drum that we were getting some great Chinese food there. Never had anything that good since.

That's not a fair comparison at all. Olive Garden is crap. Buca Di Beppo would be a better comparison; inauthentic, overpriced, and still pretty good. Olive Garden is to Italian food what Red Lobster is to sea food; passably palatable.

Look, even if that's the standard question on pretty much all phone call orders, it's obvious that if YOU want to use your card, you'd tell the guy taking your order than him asking or he'll assume you got cash. I've worked at this place since I was in 8th grade and even today we actually never ask cash or card over the phone for some reason And 99.99% of the time they actually shoves a card in my face when I bring them their food, for years, people just tell us up front that they are using a card after we told them their total, so it's a habit for us.

And if you think about it, most people who ARE planning on using their card would say so anyway because if you use your brains, you'd wonder how are you going to use your card if you DON'T tell them over the phone. Unless these guys that HAS been shoving their cards in my face has encountered a delivery guy with a portable card machine to swipe.

Consumers are retarded, and it is actually considered good customer service to treat them that way.
