So this afternoon I had a burger craving and went to this pub in my neighborhood, which serves pretty good burgers. I've been going there off and on for over a decade. Nothing fancy, but decent.

I order, and the waiter asks me if I want tomato, lettuce, or mayo on the side. I say just lettuce but nothing else. Anyway, I get my burger, eat, and ask for the check.

On the check, I see I'm being charged an extra 50 cents for lettuce. For fricking LETTUCE. They have never charged me extra for lettuce at this place. They have never charged me extra for lettuce ANYWHERE in the known UNIVERSE.

I pointed this out to the guy and asked, "You're charging extra for lettuce now. Really?" He responded in a kind of desultory tone that they've always done that (not in my experience, and I've been going to the place since before he hit puberty) but he would remove the charge, which he did.

Is this a thing now?
