What Happens If You Don't Announce 'Stop' To The Olive Garden Server Grating Your Cheese?
By Allie Ward
To top off your entree, your Olive Garden waiter offers fresh cheese until you say, "Stop." One wonders if you would be buried beneath cheese shreds if you didn't cut them off.
Although there isn't an official Olive Garden guideline on how much cheese is allowed, it seems that it may be up to your server's judgment to determine when to quit.
One former server shared his take on Quora, writing, "If they don't say stop, you continue grinding until the grater is empty, but one grater full is the cut-off."
Another former waitress encouraged others to use the situation to hone customer service chops, saying she would "smile, and maybe also say 'I see you like cheese as much as I do!'"
A different server would place an extra block in the grater, grating through two blocks quickly. They wrote, "I would always offer to go get more. Nobody ever took me up on this."
