4. Give it to a homeless person. I can't eat that stuff. Too salty

5. I would regift it
to a homeless or poor person.

1. You know they will get a good hot meal that way.

and

2. It will make all those in the restaurant deal with a homeless person while eating with their families in their fancy clean clothes.

Otherwise, I would buy as many salads as I could and take it down to the food kitchen.

7. The Homeless Idea Seems To be Winning
maybe we should pass them out to homeless people and have lots of them going to the Olive Garden

8. Accept it graciously, and then send them a thank you card.
And probably use it for a lunch, or when entertaining visiting friends who don't have good taste, or to have dinner before a movie (there's an Olive Garden, the only restaurant, near the movie theater I like to go to, and sometimes I eat there after taking in a matinee).

13. I'd invite Radiolady to lunch.
I think I'd order some kind of pasta. I'll bet she would too.

14. Laugh, and then say "That's great. But what's my REAL present?
Edited on Sun Dec-03-06 09:13 PM by mondo joe
Or, if you mean what would I REALLY do - I'd say thanks.

15. Wierd but we'd probably use it. We're on the road A LOT!
When you've pulled into the hotel after a 12 hour drive at 8:30 pm, and the Olive Garden is across the street, hell - it's nirvana. Whoever gave me that gift card would be kissed 10,000 times over. I keep all of the Applebees, Olive Garden, McDonald's and other assorted gift certs in the visor of the truck and I don't begrudge a single one of them.

Look, the salad, breadsticks and wine alone are worth it even if one gives the menu a hearty f-u.

So shoot me. :evilgrin:

17. Give it to friends who I know will be smelly and drunk when they dine
Drunk, smelly friends: It's the gift that keeps on giving!

19. I'd say they didn't know me very well
I've got nothing against the Olive Garden; I simply dislike Italian food. :D

21. I'd go
I know it seems to be some kind of a joke place but I've never eaten there, so I'd go for the laugh.
