Why would you expect tap water to kill bacteria?
You’re washing bugs and dirt off.
I don't think that salad bought in a store should have bugs and dirt on it, if you find them in your sink when you wash it you should change supermarket
EDIT: My bad, I was thinking about pre packaged salad, not like a whole head of lettuce, OP is correct and OOP should wash their lettuce better
They're definitely washed after being harvested, but as someone who has seen how it's stored between that and the store shelves, I'll give it a rinse every time.
