Today, I was so broke and hungry that I went to Olive Garden and faked being stood up, just so I could eat their breadsticks. FML

HAHA! That's so great! You're a genius! No but seriously, last I checked that's called "stealing". You're no better than a common thief, only cleverer.

I'm sure this is going to get thumbed down by all the idiots calling me a heartless asshole and saying, "But she's broke and hungry!" Sorry, that doesn't give you the right to steal. There are plenty of unfortunate people who find ways to get food without resorting to theft.

I actually thumbed you up Doc, because you speak the truth. Your right and that is theft, just in a less obvious form.

If they give you all the breadsticks for free with your meals anyway it's not really stealing. Especially if OP bought a soda (which they may or may not have done, we don't know).

Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat

There bread sticks are free and unlimited not really stealing just saying

I have to agree with you. Although, it is a pretty genius idea.

Im pretty sure nothing is free and unlimited. There's some unfortunate person in the kitchen working his ass off for minimum wage baking those breadsticks.

yeah the breadstick Baker works on commission so if you pay he is then broke so he goes to the Mexican restaurant and eats the chips and the guy that makes those is ALREADY working for less than minimum wage

*don't pay (in my rush I forgot a word)

Desperate times calls for desperate measures, Doc. Obviously, for OP it's down to survive and live or die tryin'. And I thumbs up you because it is pretty hilariously clever. :D

Hey there needs to be a good ole lovable heartless bastard, we also have a resident perv, weirdos who you sometimes have no idea what they're talking about, and someone who will jump down your throat if you make a stupid or ignorant comment, it makes FML so much more interesting.

WHO ARE YOU CALLING LOVABLE?? TAKE IT BACK!

GoW_chick was talking about the other "DocBastard" accounts on FML, not just you. Gee Doc, need more attention?

Actually that's not necessarily stealing. It's like walking into the grocery store, taking all the free samples, and leaving. It's not stealing, just frowned upon.

I would be like "hey, I'm her date, she said the bill was on her."

It took way too long to find a comment saying this. Completely agree. And to those saying it's not stealing... you stole from the waiter, if nothing else. Tips are part of their salary, and you wasted one of their tables and their time to check on you without that expected addition to their income.

Gahh, breadstick guy does not work on commission. He isn't tipped out, he is, though, making breadsticks all night while us waiters are yelling at him, "mas pan!"

MissHayleyJames 7

Actually you're not required to tip your waiter. So even if you pay for dinner you don't have to tip the waiter and it's the same exact thing. A tip is to reward good service do its totally optional.

Most places add an extra ??% onto your bill so if OP didn't have a bill, the staff didn't get that %.

I was joking I know the breadstick guy doesn't work on commission

MissHayleyJames 7

Typically they only add an extra percent for larger parties which is understandable since a table of 8 is more work. I won't tip someone if they do a shitty job though. I typically tip a little over 20% for good service and sometimes a little more for great service, but give me bad service and you get hardly any tip if you get one at all. It's especially bad when servers give you bad service until the last 10 minutes or so. Definitely no top then.

Some of the people on this thread are seriously making my blood boil. (I don't feel like wasting my time addressing every comment individually, but you'll know if I'm talking to you). You're funny if you think Olive Garden is baking that bread fresh in-house. It's shipped in and reheated. I am a server at a restaurant that provides complimentary bread, and I can tell you attitude goes a long way in determining how much I'll put up with. .

Actually, according to your user name, they'd be eating your waffles, not breadsticks. :P

Maybe if you didn't love weed so much you'd know that there's no such phrase as "would of" in the English language.

#79, No one cares for you too. At least Doc comented something useful instead of typing utter crap. Now run along kiddie, go play near that white windowless van near the guy with the "free candy" sign.

33loveyou - If you'd care to take your head out of your ass and look around, you'd see that there are plenty of people here who do, in fact, care about how idiots continually rape the English language.

I'm better at English then you're!

Rape, pillage, plunder and rape! Why did I say rape twice, cuz I love it!

Sorry I accidentally disliked your comment. I agree with you and Doc Bastard. Sorry about that. I meant to like it.

iloveweed69 7

HAHAHAHA LOL EVERYONE CHILL LMFAO

It could be her phrase. Why can't she say 'would of' just because most people say 'would have'? You shouldn't stifle her creativity, she's a free spirit who colors outside the lines and 69's her weed. XD

What of OP's parents live far away, or they're dead, or disowned OP?
