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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.

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?
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.. 😂🤦♀️🤦♀️
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.
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..
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?
