Dear Guest:
We are very sorry for any misunderstanding about this issue. We do not have a policy at Olive Garden concerning bringing the American flag into our restaurants. Some members of our team were misinformed about company policy by our corporate office. As a company we take responsibility for that and we regret it. We take pride in how we communicate to our restaurants and we are correcting this so it doesn’t happen again. Like all Americans we have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for the American flag and everything it symbolizes. In fact, we periodically provide American flag collar pins to our employees to wear while serving guests. We welcome anyone who wishes to bring the flag into our restaurants.
Sincerely,
John Caron President, Olive Garden
Which begs several questions.
1) Why was anyone at the restaurant even calling corporate to ask in the first place? It should be a no brainer.
Answer: because the management of that particular restaurant is leftest pond scum who didn't want the flag shown.
2) What person/persons in corporate gave this "erroneous" policy information to them? The receptionist? Hardly. Had to be someone reasonably well up the ladder.
3) If it was NOT corporate policy then the logical assumption is that there is a rogue executive that should be getting a DRE with a 4 D cell mag light.
4) Or, it was indeed corporate policy and this is simply CYA because they didn't expect to get called on it (which is pretty stupid, except we know libs are stupid)
Why would you choose a name like satan69?
Are you here to stir up sh*t?
isn’t it “response” not “responce”....
your name. satan69. I’m trying to type slowly, so you’ll understand.
No, This name was given to me by the liberals on the old MSNBC chat board... I don’t know if you go back that far or not...
This name was given to me by the liberals on the old MSNBC chat board.. I am guessing you don’t go back that far...
My bad, and my deepest apologies.
No problem, Not the first time I have had to explain.. Take care brother!
Been there done that, Got the tee-shirt! :-}
Misinformed my you know what.
Are you speaking to the poster? Why have you said:Why are you here Freak?
Maybe it is because he is just like you, a member in good standing on FReeRepublic.
Got it. Could never understand anyone naming themselves something like that and I’ve seen various versions. But that puts it into context somewhat....I guess
I got the same email from Mr. Caron, and Olive Garden got my business back. I believe in forgiveness.

Being Very conservative they didn’t care for me, The meaner they got the nicer I got... Drove them NUTS! :-} Be nice to stupid liberals, It drives them nuts!
“I got the same email from Mr. Caron, and Olive Garden got my business back. I believe in forgiveness.”
Next time I take my son I will bring a small american flag with me and put it on the table and see what happens, I will post what happens and shoot some video for fun!
I'm not nice to them...that drives them nuts too because they are just nuts. Try it... lol
The Darden restaraunt chain seems to be big leftist supporters from what I can tell. They just sent out this statement so working Americans will still go there and employ them and give funding for communists, instead of going broke by feeding homeless substance abusers for free if they walked their talk IMHO. They lost my business.
Good. Glad that is over. Such a big issue to worry over....glad to be eating there Saturday night.
I got the same “CANNED RESPONSE”
I doubt I will go back to Olive Garden unless they fulfill their statement of accepting responsibility and firing the management of that restaurant...
