Comment on This was sold as a "fruit salad". Technically the truth, but not the best kind of truth.

  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.

      Sealed opaque bag that I didn't personally pick up

    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.

        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.

      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.

    • DessertStorms@kbin.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      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..

      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?

      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.

        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?
