Absolutely.
(You and I are both great admirers of Oleana and, frankly, how the servers there speak isn’t an issue.}
Although, if I may alleviate the tension around this discussion with a story, twice when I was a new grad student at Stony Brook, NY (I’ve already confessed to this on the NY board, so no scoop here) I ordered a pepperoni pizza at our local place, and I got a naked slab of dough with minimal sauce loaded with green peppers. The first time, new to America and not willing to rock the boat I’d just come off (so to speak), I ingested without protest and then belched the night through in the dorm. The next time, more confident that nobody would throw me out of the country – such are the worries of the newly-here – I tentatively offered that this was not what I’d ordered. The waitress said firmly “You said peppers only.”
