"But I've been stealing from you for YEARS now!"

Who buys a salad without dressing? Me, that's who!

I always ask the server to put the dressing on the side, and most of the time, I don't eat the dressing because anything that isn't ranch, mayo or maybe thousand island dressing tastes vile to me.

I always buy the grocery store salads without dressing. After grocery shopping, I never feel like making a meal, so I get a salad to eat when I get home, and use the dressing in my fridge with it.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of buying the dressing separate. I mean, if a salad came with blue cheese dressing I wouldn't buy it, even if I liked the actual salad greens. So this way the customer has more options.

Just be careful not to get arrested for indecent exposure at the grocery store.

Whether people buy salads without dressing was beside the point. He should've checked. I never know whether places charge or not so I ask. It's not that hard.

My husband is one of those crazy people that eats a dressing free salad. He will grab a head of iceburg lettuce and just start tearing off leaves and eating them. It's a little freaky to watch.

I've finally switched from drowning my salad in dressing to just a light coating.

I used to eat iceberg in front of the TV. I should try that again. At this point I purposely drown my salads because I'm on a high fat diet. It keeps my glucose stable.

The dressing is never free. If you're at a place that offers "free" dressing, the price of the salad has already been increased to cover the fact that most will take 2 packets (more or less). Stores are there to sell things. Big surprise.

Good thing I noticed page three, I was about to say the same thing. The smaller grocery store near me does not charge for dressing, or any condiment, but their food is pricey. Quite good, though. The larger dirt cheap place charges for everything, tiny packets of mustard and mayo included. But their stuff is easily half as expensive. I'm always paranoid about if I'm supposed to pay, so I just put everything on the belt, so if the cashier needs to scan it they can. If not it goes in the bag.

I am wondering if he ever actually DID do that. He could be lying about buying salads and taking the dressing packets in the past. Maybe he was just trying to make points with the old "But I always do that!" line that a lot of SC's try.

I'm really not looking forward to July, when our local plastic bag ban goes into effect and we have to start charging people 5 cents each for paper bags.

BTDT. No matter how long you have to prepare people for it, no matter how often it's on the news, there will always (and I do mean always) be some idiot who pitches a fit because there are no free plastic bags and you are now charging for paper. And there will be all sorts of excuses: "I'm from out of town!" "That's only for grocery stores!" "I can't be expected to haul a bunch of bags around!"

Our bag ban went into effect in May of 2013. The furor finally started dying down about...September 2016.

Who buys a salad without dressing? Someone who eats it at home, and has planned ahead by buying a bottle of dressing that they keep in the fridge.

Metro (supermarket chain in my area) sells prepared salads, and their policy is that a small salad gets 1 dressing packet free, a large one gets 2 free, and you pay for any extras.

This is an easy question to answer. "That question is irrelevant to whether we charge for dressing"

I try not to have salad dressing on my salad when I go out. Either salad dressing has too much fat or sodium, and ones that are "low" or "free" taste bad to me.

One time the church was raising money by have spaghetti dinner and it came with a salad. Guy serving the salad asked what dressing I wanted. I said none. He asked again, because "of course you want dressing". I said none. So he looks at me like I called his mom a slut and he served me a roll by dropping it on my salad and lettas leaves flew out.

for the OP if the guy was getting salad dressing all this time, then why did this one time he got caught with it? Was he hiding it in his pant pocket all the time and this one time he either forgot to hide it or he was wearing something without pockets and had it out to be seen? Or maybe he kept on going to the one cashier who didn't charge him, because the cashier didn't know you had to charge him?
