I ordered risotto at Olive Garden and got a rice plus mushrooms plus parmesan dish. I complained to the waiter that it was in no way risotto. He went to the kitchen and came back to tell me that "risotto" was the Italian word for rice. I told him that it was false advertising for them to call their dish risotto since it was not prepared properly. Needless to say, I picked at my meal and left only a token tip. (In the USA, waiters are paid a bare fraction of the minimum wage -- a money-saving scheme by the restaurant industry. Allows them to keep more of the revenue as profit instead of paying the help appropriately.)
