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?
