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.
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 orange
I 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.)
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
Watermelon with orange garnish
Looks like a fruit salad I'd make in Project Zomboid.
Just needs dog food for protein
I wouldn't mind a plate of seedless watermelon tho
Plus it probably still has that mixed fruit juice in it for extra flavor
This has been always my experience when the restaurant offers as a side a ______ or a "seasonal fruit salad"
It happened twice.
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?
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.

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?
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.

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.

I don't agree with anything
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 mean it is called fruit salad not fruits salad
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"...
Kind of looks like Mr Inject Bleach among a bunch of Ruskies. I wonder if they think he smells too?
