Chili's Off The List

For John, BLUF:  The MNDG will not be going to Chili's when it is my turn.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

I have a couple of complaints with regard to Chili's.  My wife says I am too picky, but I feel these are areas where they could do better.

• The lack of Iceberg Lettuce.
• First off, my physician says I should avoid dark leafy lettuce.  That seems straightforward.
• Secondly, strange as it sounds, I LIKE Iceberg Lettuce and prefer it to that dark, bitter, stuff.
• Now they have stopped providing their version of Splenda as a sub for sugar.
• They are now only offering the pink stuff (Equal) and sugar (At least down in Burlington).
• While I always try to carry six Splendas with me when I am out, it just seems an act of disrespect toward the customer to drop a popular sweetener, especially without explanation.♠
