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.
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
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.)
Looks like a fruit salad I'd make in Project Zomboid.
Just needs dog food for protein
Watermelon with orange garnish
i mean it is called fruit salad not fruits salad
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.
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.
Why are you so hateful and mean? Grow a pair and apologize
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.
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.. 😂🤦♀️🤦♀️
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..
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.
Argh. But be glad they didn't add tomato. Also technically correct, but you wouldn't want it.
I wouldn't mind a plate of seedless watermelon tho
Plus it probably still has that mixed fruit juice in it for extra flavor
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?
What makes a salad?
here, i have some lettuce. and - here - i have some carrots. let's mix 'em!
salad?
and why is lettuse such a nessecary ingredient? i mean oh my it's a leaf
Salad means "salted" - in this context because you could prepare vegetables by cooking them, or eating them raw with salt and oil, as the Roman's would do, thus creating the "salad" we know today
This isn't a fruit salad it's a fruit monopoly
