    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.

          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.

      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?
