It depends on the restaurant. If you ignore the guy in the tuxedo with the large, bulbous pepper grinder which *everybody* tries not to think of as a phallic symbol and whip out your pepper spray andd season your own salad, you will most certainly get into trouble. California has laws against this sort of errant behavior. It just isn't done. If, however, you are in Mickey D's or Jacques L'Box and whip out your pepper spray to season your food, nobody will give you a second glance. At establishments of this caliber you are exprected to do some of the work. Good luck and welcome to California. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** Don't pee in the gene pool *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
