“Honestly am at a lost for words. Not leaving until the cops come and physically remove us,” Smith tweeted. He also shared an image of himself and his friends in the parking lot of the restaurant with the caption, “And we took an Uber out here so we are just in the parking lot of @olivegarden. #hungry.”
He said that he and his group has asked for a different waitress but were told their “options were to have her as our waitress or leave.”
Since Smith tweeted about the incident, Olive Garden has reached out to him and asked him to direct message them the details, promising an investigation into the matter.
