Tomatoes, discovered in the new world, were thought to be poisonous.
Maybe you are just an old, wise soul.

A tomato is delicious by itself, which is an amazing feat. But for those of you who hate them, does adding anything or frying them make them tolerable or palatable? What about ketchup?

I once went to lunch with a family member and they ordered a burger, no tomato. The waiter asked if it was a preference or allergy, and they said allergy. Waiter said ok great, we'll be extra strict. Brought out burger with no tomato. Person asked for ketchup for the fries... The waiter was clearly annoyed at being lied to. It was so dumb lol.

Why couldn’t the waiter simply write down the order as it was requested?

The waiter did. But when you say allergy vs preference, that means they have to thoroughly sanitize, use a new knife, avoid cross contamination, etc etc. If it's just preference because you don't like raw tomatoes, all they do is just not put a tomato on. For places that take allergies seriously, it's a LOT of work for someone who doesnt actually need/want it.
