There is definitely an end. It starts with 2 per person, then goes down to 1, then eventually the server just stops bringing them :( yes I love bread and yes I am taking advantage of your “endless” breadsticks
Went to olive garden the other day and my husband asked "how many bread sticks do you think we could eat before they think we're weird?"
The answer is 3 baskets. I know this because my ex loved olive garden and was extremely overindulgent. After 3 baskets they start bringing less. By the 5th or 6th basket there's literally only 2 bread sticks in there. That's how they shame you. Never had them stop bringing them tho
I wonder if some food waste management comes into play, i.e. you're likely to finish off your first couple of baskets, but there's probably a point at which they expect you to be full from your meal (and the bread sticks you've already had), and any additional full basket they send over is likely to mostly end up in the trash. Obviously, there's some financial cost associated with trashed food too.

And not a single joke about breadsticks. Seriously, impressed.
