Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them.

"We did a little math and have calculated that pass holders will have to
eat at Olive Garden an average of 1.4 times per week to beat the price
of the already bonkers-cheap $9.99 N-E Pasta Bowl. This won't sound like
a lot until you've hit your 18th bowl of Fettuccine Alfredo."

Urk!

I've seen some people eat quite a lot. I know of a few who will not eat the
day before or prior on that day so that by the time they get to the "all you
can eat" event, they will stuff themselves until they're sick.

I'm not sure how they do that takeout but I do know people who have gotten
it. They say that you can get a ton of breadsticks and salad.
