    What’s the point of running a restaurant if the staff doesn’t even know what the hell the slop they’re selling tastes like. Free staff meals don’t cut into profits, and only have benefits for the long term. Damn greedy capitalists

      I know a few chefs and/or bartenders and…they all taste the things they make because they have to. How can you possibly know it’s correct if you don’t taste it. It’s not like they’re eating off every plate or checking every drink but if I was a restaurant owner I would want to know that my employees are only sending things out that are correct. If they send out bad food that’s a customer gone forever, and possibly many more if that customer tells their friends or leaves a bad review.

      I would absolutely never eat at a place where the staff isn’t tasting what’s going out to tables

      Darden owns Olive Garden and most of that crap comes in frozen. It doesn’t matter what it tastes like, it’s the same frozen diners they sell everywhere.

      They also own Red Lobster and I feel like the quality is higher there but I’m really not sure.
