Blue State Elections Require Less Voter ID Than Olive Garden’s Unlimited Pasta Pass

Olive Garden apparently has a stricter identification policy for unlimited pasta than many Democrat-led states have for voting.

Olive Garden posted a series of slides on X explaining to customers how to purchase a Pasta Pass. The Pasta Pass gives customers unlimited access to their Never-Ending pasta bowls. One user asked whether the pass can be used to order pasta for the whole family or whether it is only for the person whose name appeared on the card.

Olive Garden confirmed that the “Never-Ending Pasta Pass is only for use by the Passholder whose name is printed on the Pass.” In order to make sure no funny business happens, “passholders must present a valid photo I.D. along with the Pass at the time of ordering.”

Apparently unlimited fettuccine Alfredo is so important that you need to show a photo ID to get some. But if you forget your ID to confirm your Pasta Pass, have no fear. You can still find something to do while out and about: vote! (If you happen to live in one of the 14 states that do not require photo ID to cast a vote.)

The elderly poll worker for my Precinct is my neighbor who sees me walking my dog everyday.  I do have to verbally confirm my name and street address.  It's as thorough as a White House national security background check.

I expect Olive Garden will abandon this policy.

They will lose the JimRob Freeper votes if they do!
