This isn’t a fruit salad it’s a fruit monopoly
It’s a metaphor for the rich minority living on the backs of the working class.
You sure they didn’t say fruit sadness?
Could be worse, at least there’s no grapefruit.
You know, I’ve never seen grapefruit in a fruit salad where I live. This had never occurred to me before, but I am grateful for it.
Or would you say you’re “grapeful” for it?
I agree 💯, haven’t seen grapefruit either. I don’t think it would go well in a salad. I do like grapefruit otherwise.
I think ruby red grapefruit could work. But also, a lot of people, me included, can’t have grapefruit because it has a negative reaction with a lot of medications, so maybe it’s best they don’t.

Which sucks, because I love grapefruit. And grapefruit juice.
Huh interesting, had no idea. I sometimes take fexofenadine. I didn’t know grapefruit could reduce its effectiveness. I’m glad I don’t take any drug that interacts the opposite way with the grapefruit.
Is that a single piece of orange?
Cause, from where I am, orange is cheaper than watermelon. So… Wouldn’t it make more sense to have more orange?
This is confusing…
but watermelon is still cheaper per cubic meter right?
it’s not as dense as orangeI reckon watermelons are cheaper than ramen noodle around here.
(I live in mellon land. No trees; just mellon. I think I’ve seen a fruit tree once in my life.)
fuck it, go full mathematician. Serve an empty bowl on the grounds that it’s a vacuous fruit salad, every ingredient in it is a fruit
But then again, the same bowl is also a full bowl of “nonfruit” 😩
Wow all watermelon? Could be worse. I always get shafted with a bowl of 90% honeydew melon pieces with one or two bits of something else. I’ve actually lied and said I’m allergic to melon so I can get something else.
I assumed they would fill it with the cheapest possible fruit, which at the time I knew happened to be watermelon. If it were honeydew, I wouldn’t have bought it at all, I think. I share your dislike of honeydew
Honeydew is a garbage fruit.
you people are spoiled; melon is melon
Watermelon with orange garnish
Why did you buy it
Because I wanted a fruit salad and did not anticipate this level of cheaping out by the people who made it. Do you open your burger at a fast food place and count the ingredients in front of the staff to make sure the cook didn’t short you?
It’s clear plastic, you can see what you’re getting before you pick it up. And yeah I do check my order before leaving, is that not a normal thing to do?
Sealed opaque bag that I didn’t personally pick up
Lmao, imagine being that person, dying on this hill to tell you how wrong you are for… checks notes… buying a product as it was sold to you… 😂🤦♀️🤦♀️
As a restaurant manager, I rather you would. If we fucked up, I can fix it faster the sooner I found out.
And I would prefer the manager is catching their staff’s errors before they make it to the customer instead of making me do QA, but we can both only dream of a better world.
I’m also pretty convinced this was an intentional cost-saving move, given the rest of the food. Either way, I just won’t be back a second time.
I’m convinced it’s intentional because of the way it was arranged.
And I would prefer the manager is catching their staff’s errors before they make it to the customer instead of making me do QA, but we can both only dream of a better world.
Rest assured, we’d prefer to prevent them as well. We’d prefer they didn’t make any errors in the first place, to be honest. But like you said, this isn’t a perfect world. Mistakes will happen.
I wasn’t trying to defend this specific food choice (which is a slap to the face, regardless of why). I just wanted to reassure people that it’s okay to check their food upon arrival.
Lmfao
As a restaurant manager
your experience with processed food probably processed hundreds of miles away and bought at a chain supermarket, is completely irrelevant. Clown
Ah yes, how presumptuous of you to assume all sorts of things about me from a single sentence. I’ll be sure to give your opinion the weight it truly deserves.
Lol. All the big restaurant chains have their own farmers supplying them since they can afford to remove the middleman and fine restaurants buy their meat fresh from butchers. Only shitty takeaways buy their food in supermarkets.
Why are you so hateful and mean? Grow a pair and apologize
But why are you trying to blame op?
They could have had it delivered so had no choice, or maybe were in a rush and just grabbed a thing off the shelf without paying too much attention, or a bunch of other possible reasons, or maybe they even chose it deliberately so they could complain, but none of those make it their fault that the product wasn’t as advertised, and either way, if they hadn’t grabbed it, someone else would have.
I’m not saying it’s a good thing for them to sell but generally you have a choice to not buy something like this.
You repeating yourself doesn’t suddenly change any of the facts, the main one being that even if they did choose it, the content of the packet is not their responsibility, and if they hadn’t bought it, someone else would have, and then they would have been disappointed…
So what, you just like the taste of corporate boot? Or have you been so deeply programmed by those actually responsible to always shift responsibility to the individual, no matter how ridiculous it makes you seem? (E: your reply boasting you’re a restaurant manager as if it has any relevance has made these questions rhetorical - you clearly relate more to corporate position because of your proximity to the top, but remember - that proximity might as well be the distance between Earth and Mars, to actual corporate you’re just another worker drone, just one that is also happy to inflict suffering down the line for them, but a worker drone nonetheless, and like the rest of us you are almost certainly closer to being homeless than you are to being a millionaire, so all you really are is a bootlicking class traitor)
Either way, you need to have a word with yourself…
I understand your resentment but the restaurant manager is a different user
Lol I love the irony of this dude making such a long hateful rant, and telling them other person that HE needs to have a word with himself.
Stay angry!
What are you babbling about? I’m suddenly a corporate bootlicker because I choose not to buy an obviously inferior fruit salad? Lmao you are delusional, no one is forced to buy anything. We waste so much food it wouldn’t surprise me if this would’ve gone to waste too. If anyone needs to reflect it’s you, why are you so heated up over a fruit salad?
I wouldn’t mind a plate of seedless watermelon tho
Plus it probably still has that mixed fruit juice in it for extra flavor
Looks like a fruit salad I’d make in Project Zomboid.
Just needs dog food for protein
This has been always my experience when the restaurant offers as a side a ______ or a “seasonal fruit salad”
It happened twice.
i mean it is called fruit salad not fruits salad
Relevant xkcd:
https://xkcd.com/388/Who decided to put oranges in the untasty territory? And how are they difficult???
Oranges have been some of the most inconsistent fruit for me tbh. A good orange is great, but it’s just as likely to be tasteless or sour. I do live far from orange farms though, so that’s probably the issue.
True.
I got some sources that ship straight from Calabria, Italy.
Buying it by the crate.
Randall seems to dislike citrus fruits (see grapefruit).
bad take from Randall >:(
At least their other takes are good.
I don’t agree with the position of banana
Grapefruits are actually tasty and easy, you just have to do it right: Cut in half so that you slice all the segments, pour sugar over the cuts, then use a tea spoon, the more acute the tip is the better. They’re still tart but it’s the right kind of tartness.
I don’t agree with anything
Argh. But be glad they didn’t add tomato. Also technically correct, but you wouldn’t want it.
I don’t think that’s even technically “fruit salad”…
