I Am A Host at The Olive Garden

For about a year, I worked as a host in an Olive Garden restarurant. During that time, I made the following strips. Each strip is completely true, except for people's names, which have been changed so that they don't get mad at me. This comic is not endorsed in any way by The Olive Garden or its parent company, Darden Restaurants. In fact, they don't even know it exists.

Here's a fun fact about Darden Restaurants: Not only do they own The Olive Garden and the comparatively less successful restaurant chains "Smokey Bones" and "Bahama Breeze," but also the seafood behemoth known as "The Red Lobster." Benefits of working for Darden Restaurants include the Darden Dimes program, in which one contributes ten cents from each paycheck, which goes into an emergency fund that is used to assist one's fellow-employees in their times of need.

That's socialism.
