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.
