A fellow by the name of Joe Wadlington took to Twitter this afternoon to share the details of a date that took an unexpected turn into the world of Olive Garden Times Square secrets. Here we go:
I went on a date last night and the guy meekly shared that he used to be THE GENERAL MANAGER FOR THE TIMES SQUARE OLIVE GARDEN.

Q Did y'all ever run out of breadsticks? If so what happened?
— Joe Wadlington (@JoeWadlington) April 19, 2017
A Yes. Twice. Worst shifts of my life. People were angry, kept telling us "no"
Q: Was everyone from Ohio?

A: Brazil, Puerto Rico, & Ohio. The foreigners I understood. They'd grown up watching O.G. commercials.

A: It's too much food for three people
Q: How much?
A: Maybe $25

A: No.

Wowzer. It’s possible that the former Olive Garden manager could have been embellishing some of these stories: An employee at the Times Square outpost says that the wait rarely stretches past 25 minutes, and the longest she’s ever seen is 50 to 70 minutes. Guests can also reserve tables ahead of time to cut down on the wait.
