When did the words, hamburger and the cheeseburger become synonymous? When did it become assumed that everyone that orders a hamburger desires cheese on it? Just about every specialty burger place and fast-food place is going to put cheese on your burger. You have beg, plead, tip extra and then remind them two or three times if you prefer the cheese left off. It's become a mortal sin and offense against society to order a burger without cheese. They react like you're a law-breaking radical ..... "No cheese? .... Really?" I've actually lied a time or two in response .... "Yeah, I'm allergic." And then it's still like they want to see a doctor's note.
It's the tomato that ought to be standard and automatic for burgers. Asking for no tomato is what should be questioned and get the weird looks.
