Ladies generally prepare many dishes for dinner or supper.They include many commodities for good flavour and tasty.
I take my food even if the salt content is less but cannot eat if salt is added more.
But the cheapest stuff is salt is not added properly the atmosphere at the dinning table will be spoiled.What do you say?
Do you adjust in your home when food served with less salt or do you have the habit to shout at your mom/wife for this?

I've never cooked anything and added salt. I personally find it spoils the food, as i add herbs and other flavour so it shouldn't be needed. If someone made a comment to me about not adding it I'd just tell them that i didn't see the point in adding it when there is enough flavour in the dish and if they wanted it I couldn't even offer it to them as i don't buy it either!

Well it could be anything from fresh herbs or just the basic flavour that come from what your cooking. Like when i cook mince, instead as adding salt i use oxtail soup. Or vegtable soup depending what the dish is. It all depends on what the dish is as to what i add.

Salt is important for any dish which brings taste. I cant have food without proper salt, as you said we can have a dish with less salt but not with more salt.
First and foremost, it is used as a seasoning to enhance the taste of food. It makes palatable bland food such as carbohydrates (bread, pasta, et cetera) which we are encouraged to eat more of and brings out the natural flavours in other food.
Salt
– is essential for life.
– is a natural mineral and preservative not an artificial additive.
– is a natural seasoning, enhancing the flavour of many foods.
– has a part to play in a healthy, varied and balanced diet.

Salt is very important.Without salt i can't eat any food.But a little less salt can do with me.As is the case i don't shout at anybody if there is some less salt in the food as mistakes do happen.Also in my home i do the cooking many times.So i avoid to give less salt.Actually after preparing i do make a point to taste it.
