This pasta party spiraled out of control.
One Olive Garden server says a group of carb-crazed diners turned the chain’s famous “Never-Ending Pasta Bowl” into a bottomless nightmare — racking up a shocking $150 bill and a trail of regret.The frazzled server explained that it wasn’t even their table — it belonged to a coworker who “was obv hoarding it,” watching helplessly as the group plowed through bowl after bowl of noodles.
“He wanted to tell them to stop,” the Redditor noted, “but the table was too big and it was slow so he didn’t want to compromise his tip.” The server who started the discussion confirmed that the diners took most of what they ordered home in takeout boxes.Furious restaurant takes savage swipe at locals after closing downStarting at $13.99, guests can mix and match rounds of pasta and sauce with unlimited soup or salad and, of course, the chain’s legendary breadsticks. After the first serving, refills come in smaller bowls — but there’s no cap on how many times you can go back for more.Drinks, however, are not included — though after a stunt like this, a glass of wine might be.The Post reached out to Olive Garden for comment.The Washington Post via Getty Images Some sympathized with the overwhelmed server, while others were impressed by the diners’ dedication to the all-you-can-eat art form.“Are these people just perpetually constipated because how can you even eat that much pasta without having a life threatening bowel obstruction,” one wrote. They continued, “i’m genuinely worried about them too lol this receipt is like a miserable cry for help for both the server and patrons.” Not everyone was amused by the diners’ all-you-can-eat antics — especially former Olive Garden servers who said the so-called “Never-Ending” deal is more of a never-ending headache for staff.One ex-employee in the comments said the pasta tab likely didn’t translate to much of a payout once it was split among the group — and, unsurprisingly, not everyone was tipping generously. “There is no world where that amount of work warrants the pay,” the Redditor wrote, calling the restaurant’s system unfair. “This place is so farshows her team humorously shotgunning energy drinks as Reba McEntire’s “I’m A Survivor” plays as they prepare for their shift in their restaurant’s kitchen.

She said the “best way” to play the “Never-Ending Pasta Bowl” is to “get the meat add-on.” Staff, she added, are told to encourage diners to go for at least one refill — and to box up leftovers if they want to try a new pasta next round.My hair is a mess im tired af but I wanted to make this video anyway comment any questions you want answered and ill answer them in the commentsBizarre on-air joke leaves 'SportsCenter' anchor lost for words in awkward ESPN moment 'Testosterone' tennis storm erupts after wild interview — as world No. 1 seemingly claps back with bikini pics Chicago principal claims teacher who made sick Charlie Kirk gesture is the victim — but makes no mention of her behavior Luigi Mangione got beaten up by 7 'ladyboys' in Thailand months before UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting: reportAMPERS&ONE answers questions about ‘LOUD & PROUD’ album and opening for P1Harmony in Confession Cube
