I haven’t been to Olive Garden for a while - I think I’ll be going and make sure they know the reason why.

I guess we all could go to an Embassy Suites hotel, and then call Olive Garden to get Italian Food delivered to the room, with extra Hellman’s mayo.
But that would kind of strange.

Among the people who did attend the rally on Tuesday was a woman with a sign shaming Olive Garden for not standing up for women... she got face time on the news... that is what it takes.

Maybe Olive Garden’s motto is really true. When you’re here your family

Cool! I think I’ll celebrate by eating at Olive Garden soon. Chicken and gnocchi soup, breadsticks, etc.
YUM!
To: BCrago66
Good!! I like Olive Garden and looks like I can visit them for a meal now.

Remember also that you can purchase bottles of their great salad dressing to take with you. I think maybe I shall take the wife out there tonight. Thanks for the heads-up, FReepers

I am curious to see how many people are going to call corporate Olive Branch and thank them for pulling out of Letterman and also telling them that they will be patronizing the restaurant even more...

That’s three companies that deserve consideration for patronage.

I buy their dressing. I love it because it’s good and it doesn’t take a lot.
We also eat there ah, more then we should. :>)
Series at least every other week and when family
comes in. In fact we & family ate there Tues lunch.
I like them even more now.

I don't think that's fair. Corporations buy ad time way in advance and really have no control whatsoever over content. They just buy eyeballs for their ads-- that's all.
Olive Garden did the right thing under pressure and that's fine with me.
