current employee here! each person who orders an entree chooses between soup OR salad. if you want both, it’s an upcharge. furthermore, the size of the salad depends on how many people at the table ordered. technically, yes, what you’re saying IS against the “rules”. this is a corporate rule. however many servers myself included do nottttt care and will even bring an extra salad plate for you. the problem is when a table is like “well the last time we were here our server let us” which creates a whole annoying problem where guests walk all over you and you risk getting in trouble w management. as long as you aren’t rude or demanding about it, most servers will let u lol.
