Eating out

Well let me tell you about my lunch at a Mexican restaurant. I did not want to go in the first place but my co-worker begged me and said she would pay. So I was thinking I could get a salad. I had my own tahini dressing in my purse.
I asked the waiter if I could just have lettuce with celery, carrots, bell peppers and jalapeños. I see on the menu the different veggies they put in the burrito. So I assumed I could get it on some lettuce. The waiter tells me they could not do this. I hand him back the menu and tell him thank you and headed to the front to talk to the manager. I told him what I wanted and that I do not want anything cooked. I want the veggies raw. He nodded his head on agreement and said you want the veggies fresh? I said yes.
I get back to my seat and a few minutes later they hand me a plate with lettuce, 2 slice tomatoes, sautéed onions and sautéed bell peppers. What the hell?! Who eats a salad with cooked onions and bell peppers. I just did not feel like arguing. I just ate the 2 tomatoes. I was ticked!!! Next time I will make sure they get it right even if it means sending the order back a couple of time.
