Mixed Whites?

Gross.

I mean, it just never seems to fail. I could be going through a Wendy’s drive up window, at an average mid-quality standard restaurant or the highest end spot. 90% of the time (even when I ask the server specifically about it) the as advertised mixed greens salad comes out with the tasteless, nutrition-less, white, iceberg staring me in the face. Not only that, but do you ever notice that for some reason salads are the one thing on a menu that restaurants seem to put the most random things on instead of what the menu actually reads? For example; the mixed greens salad with carrots, cucumbers, croutons and mixed cheeses often comes out as something like a pile of iceberg with mushrooms, onions and tomatoes. 

Huh?

What if you ordered a BLT on wheat bread and it came out as a turkey, lettuce and onion sandwich on rye?

I’m so confused restaurants of the world. What gives?
