Why do restaurants now insist on putting ground pepper in salt shakers?

Asked by AstroChuck (37609points) October 17th, 2009 from iPhone

Eating establishments used to put salt in salt shakers and ground pepper in pepper shakers. For some reason most places no longer use pepper shakers anymore. It’s so frustrating trying to get ground pepper out of the smaller holes. I usually have to just unscrew the top and grab a pinch from the open shaker, often resulting in me spilling pepper all over the table.
This question is part bitch session but I really would like to know why most restaurants have abandoned pepper shakers. Any ideas?
