The place I usually go to on the weekends has a menu that is 2 pages. They have maybe 30 items on there including the appetizers. 1/3 of the items are fish, which I don't like. If I couldn't order burgers without the tomatoes and pickles I'd be fucked. I guess I can pick them off but why not just ask for them not to be included so they're not wasted? I can see your point if they're making things in big batches and can't reasonably leave an ingredient out but for shit like sandwiches/salads/pizza or whatever it's not a big deal to leave something off. It's certainly not an insult to the chef to not like an ingredient. Taste is completely subjective, if you're insulted by someone having different tastes than you that's a you problem.
