Okay, for someone who eats more of the green leafy stuff then I do...

When did black olives become a staple of chef salads?

In most places nof diner-type quality, they're not. The more upscale the place, the more likely they'll have things like olives, peppers, etc. thrown on top. Once you get to the Olive Garden/Red Robin/TGI Friday's level of cuisine, it's practically guaranteed that they'll have extras thrown in to make you feel better about what you're paying for your meal.

The chef's salad (or maybe cobb salad, I forget) I get at the grocery store has them.

Vile little things. Fortunately, they're all clumped together, as if for protection, so they're generally easy to remove.
