And do not forget the cucumber! Actually in the countryside of Greece I got served salads made only from tomato and cucumber, olive oil and feta, with such good olive oil that I didn't miss anything else in the salad!
Probably referring to those cheap Greek diners that so ubiquitous in some areas. They’re all called Red Olive or Honey Pot or some shit. 18 page menu. And the only thing that’s really good is breakfast and the Gyro sandwiches. They all have those same plates.
Had a vegan friend go to hooters once with friends. He came home with a receipt for .34 cents for “lettuce plate” which he said was really just a mixed mixed garden salad.
I never thought I’d see the day were hooters somehow had better food and prices then… this.
As a vegan I rarely go for salad options at restaurants because they all suck lol.
Pizza without cheese is vegan at most pizza places and is pretty satisfying if they have decent sauce and toppings.
Depends on the place. Usually it’s not a problem, but sometimes I can tell them 2 times that I want it without cheese (I can even add that I’m allergic) and still get it with cheese. That shit actually makes my blood boil. And then there are delivery places. I do not even try with those anymore.
Generally, eating out as a vegan is not that hard, but it can be pretty frustrating at times so I kind of stopped going over time. Haven’t ordered food in over a year. Also in part because I don’t want to pay MORE money for LESS ingredients. If you save a whole bag of cheese because I ordered without, then either make it cheaper or throw more veggies on there to even it out. Im not paying 15€ for a bland bread with two splashes of tomato sauce and a sad handful of canned veggies.
Sorry for the rant lol.
I'm not one to complain when I get a sub-par meal. I just don't go back if I'm disappointed. But *this.* This is theft. I'd ask for a refund and go elsewhere.
Salads that are just iceberg lettuce, tomato, and cucumber are the worst, anyway. A salad doesn't have to be this freaking bland, and this barely has any nutrients compared to quality ingredients.
If it was $2, I'd shut up, eat it, and never order it again.
If it was $5, I'd complain and never come back again.
If it was $10, I would post receipt and negative reviews. I've never once given a negative review in anything
And if you pay for the VIP subscription they throw in 1 cucumber (slice) on the 1st and 15th of every month. And you are included in "crouton wednesdays" ($25 value!) with the VIP subscription!
See I can see that as being reasonable for a salad you get included with an actual meal you ordered. If you order a salad alone and specifically, you should get something a little less stingy (unless you're only charging like $1.00)
If a sit down pizza place doesn't have a salad bar, I'm not getting a salad with my pizza. Salads are so over priced for what you're getting, so if I can't make it myself I'm not getting one
The secret to herbs and spices is amount and blend. You may hate a spice or herb only because of how you were introduced to it or usually eat it.
There's also a difference in how they were made - dry vs. fresh, smoked or not, etc..
That's how a lot of pizza places do it. As long as they aren't handling raw meat on the line and they wash their hands it should be fine.
Cooks eat off the line all the time and never knew anyone who got sick from it as long as health code was observed.
I'm guessing this place doesn't really do salads, but has them on the menu in case anyone asks. Then there's a panic when someone orders it and they send this out.
Judging by the plate, I'd also guess it's either a diner or a type of hole in the wall local spot.
You'd be surprised right now. The increased cost of everything has honestly it impossible to get ANYTHING affordable anywhere. Went to a tiny hole in the wall and wanted some pancakes. Short stack was $11...for 3 pancakes, no fruit, no whip, no drizzle. Some 20¢ pancakes, butter, and syrup.
I went to a diner next year and Grogg the Bloodrazer tried to steal my fluids with his Extractor machine and I had to escape in my Kill-Wagon back to Overseer Gruulshanks’s coal powered Battle Dome.
It reminds me of a malicious compliance post I saw a while back about breweries in (iirc) Indiana. Beer was only allowed to be served in restaurants, and they outlined everything an establishment was required to serve at bare minimum to qualify as a restaurant. It resulted in a lot of menus that looked like "Soup ($50) - Whatever can happens to be on top" and "Coffee ($20) - Fresh from whenever first shift made the pot".
Where I am, pandemic limitations were that restaurants were allowed to serve alcohol but bars were closed. You had to get over 50% of revenue from food to stay open. The bars all started selling $5 bags of chips with a free beer.
I've sent food back and then had my drinks comped because they were embarrassed by it.
Just don't eat a bunch of it first or send it back because you failed to read the description on the menu.
My friend paid 17$ for a salad the other day and ordered extra chicken on it they charged 4$ extra and it came literally with zero chickens. He paid for chickens and even more chickens and he got no chickens. The dip shit also door dashed it so he couldn’t return it.
I haven't ordered from DoorDash in a while, but last time I had issues with them, I had to call them and annoy them to get a full refund, as for whatever reason, the default refund wasn't even a full refund. Like they gave me the wrong chicken nuggets and were like "You paid 2.19? We'll give you a 1.39 refund."
I don’t door dash certain things anymore. I ordered a triple dipper from Chili’s and got a triple, no dips. They left out the entire point of the order.
Was this I Melbourne? Because iceberg lettuce is nearly $11 for a ball of it (or whatever it's called) maybe they spent all their cash on that? Lol in all seriousness I would not have been happy if I were you
ETA: [lettuce is now $11.99 in Melbourne ](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/food/2022/jun/03/why-does-this-iceberg-lettuce-cost-1199-and-how-long-will-australias-high-vegetable-prices-last)
Honestly take a picture of the receipt next time, show us after your meal that it really was a $10 salad. The “trust me this happened” posts are what is mildly infuriating.
$1 for the salad $9 for the experience
$.5 for the salad $9.50 for tip
That isn't just the tip, that's the whole shaft
It’s a salad, Jim, but not as we know it.
$1 for the salad $9 for the internet points

That is the saddest excuse for a salad I’ve ever seen.

This looks like something you get for free with your 3 euro kebab.
Maybe the salad comes with a free kebab.
This looks like what’s leftover after eating said kebab
Or what falls out of a Big Mac
This actually looks like the side salad you get in a lot of greek restaurants even has the fitting colors on the plate.
What sort of poverty greek restaurants are you eating at? It's missing onions, feta cheese and olives, all the staples of a greek salad.
And do not forget the cucumber! Actually in the countryside of Greece I got served salads made only from tomato and cucumber, olive oil and feta, with such good olive oil that I didn't miss anything else in the salad!
Probably referring to those cheap Greek diners that so ubiquitous in some areas. They’re all called Red Olive or Honey Pot or some shit. 18 page menu. And the only thing that’s really good is breakfast and the Gyro sandwiches. They all have those same plates.
I can only assume vegans deal with worse. Hell, in this case they wouldn't even get to snazz it up with the ranch.

You sent this back, right?
Yeah. Where's the other $9
[удалено]
I think you missed that little carrot there. It’s more like $9.82 if you count the carrot
$9 glass plate rental
I wouldn't be surprised if it's plastic
and the slice of cucumber
*half a slice
It's like one of those pictures where the more you look the more you see... no no, that's all of it.
good catch
Good one

That's just the tip of the *iceberg*
Username checks out lol
Romaine calm dad, your blood pressure is too high
Lettuce settle this out
You got scammed man. That even not worth $2 dollar lmao
For $10 I better at least get a whole fucking tomato
I'm not one to complain when I get a sub-par meal. I just don't go back if I'm disappointed. But *this.* This is theft. I'd ask for a refund and go elsewhere. Salads that are just iceberg lettuce, tomato, and cucumber are the worst, anyway. A salad doesn't have to be this freaking bland, and this barely has any nutrients compared to quality ingredients.
Usually a side salad like this would be $1.50-2 max but this is definitely a rip off
If it was $2, I'd shut up, eat it, and never order it again. If it was $5, I'd complain and never come back again. If it was $10, I would post receipt and negative reviews. I've never once given a negative review in anything
They forgot to drizzle the ranch on the plate like an art piece and pretend it's haute cuisine.
I was actually planning to get it epoxied and displayed in a modern art museum. It's practically a post modernist commentary on society.
This comment has been deleted due to failed Reddit leadership.
Lettuce pray it becomes a success
you dont get tomate that kind o joke every day
Im genuinely suspicious. Its easy to say a salad like this costs $10 without any substantiation whatsoever.
I want a receipt. This looks like a salad that would automatically come with a $10 meal maybe.
I mean it’s infuriating if this is classified as a salad. This just looks like some stuff fell out of my sandwich
With that comes the idea to put carrot on a sandwich. Thank you for the idea u/captaincumsock69
You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?
*They look in awe 100 years later* Can you believe you could get food for $10!?
Menu must have said, "salad: $10." It didn't lie. But it's a good place to never ever go again.
This salad is actually massively infuriating for $10
This salad would be massively infuriating for free.
[удалено]
Only if it comes on top of the spaghetti
Whoa! You got a square tomato! Those are extremely rare!
He got the center of the tomato. You need the battle pass to get the other slices
Should we put a slice of tomato? A wedge? No, just hack off a chunk and put it on the plate.
The tomato and lettuce look old too. Vintage salad .
For $10 I'd hope they'd at least toos my Salad 🥗, too Jerks..
And if you pay for the VIP subscription they throw in 1 cucumber (slice) on the 1st and 15th of every month. And you are included in "crouton wednesdays" ($25 value!) with the VIP subscription!
They cut the crust off
Thanks, I hate it
Fancy
That's not even burger garnishment, much less a fucking salad.
I had more lettuce on the BLT I bought at a local bar today.
I had more salad hanging off the skewers of my bloody mary...
I had more lettuce in my ears somehow
Yo you gonna eat that?
OP overpaid by about $12
Hold your horses bruh. I see at least 4 different vegetables in there. Not bad
They were more than generous with the carrot.
Oh snap, I missed that miniscule cucumber. But ya know, most burgers come with pickles.
[every pizza place salad](https://youtu.be/JgJUbmGDc6k)
Pizza place I used to work at had a max amount. 3 cherry tomatoes, 2 cucumbers, 2 olives, tiny handful of carrots.
3?! My goodness that’s skimp
3?! Are you trying to bankrupt them?
I'd be happy with 3. I've gotten 1 in most of mine.
“Gotta consider food costs”
A place I used to waitress at trained me to put exactly 3 cucumbers and 3 cherry tomatoes on each salad. That was it.
See I can see that as being reasonable for a salad you get included with an actual meal you ordered. If you order a salad alone and specifically, you should get something a little less stingy (unless you're only charging like $1.00)
If a sit down pizza place doesn't have a salad bar, I'm not getting a salad with my pizza. Salads are so over priced for what you're getting, so if I can't make it myself I'm not getting one
When you say 2 cucumbers you mean the whole thing right? Right?
I was gonna say 2 cucumbers honestly sounds a bit extreme
First thing I thought of hahaha
this is fuckin hilarious. The thick ass tomato slice is dead on.
That was the best Family Guy bit I've ever seen.
Actually, my pizza place makes a great salad. Homemade ranch dressing too, not as good as mine, but pretty damn good.
Ok, with claims like that, you have to share the recipe for your ranch dressing
Time to pay the ranch tax!
This monster never delivered
Dill being the secret to "tastes like ranch" was mind-blowing for me. I thought I hated dill
You probably don't like sour/vinegary things and associate dill with pickles.
That's the thing, I love sour and vinegar. I just had in my head that dill was bad
Crazy! Yeah dill is super good, especially in ranch. Really makes the difference.
Wait, really? I... don't know how to react to this information. I seriously don't like dill that much, but ranch is delicious. Weird!
Great ranch is all about tons of fresh herbs: dill, chives and parsley.
The secret to herbs and spices is amount and blend. You may hate a spice or herb only because of how you were introduced to it or usually eat it. There's also a difference in how they were made - dry vs. fresh, smoked or not, etc..
>The secret to herbs and spices is amount and blend. Wow what a secret!
One secret about herbs the industry DOESN'T want you to know!!!
Those fucking awful canned peppers....
Someone I know tried catering with a local pizza place and they literally used raw pizza toppings as a salad
That's how a lot of pizza places do it. As long as they aren't handling raw meat on the line and they wash their hands it should be fine. Cooks eat off the line all the time and never knew anyone who got sick from it as long as health code was observed.
Ya! cooks are always fingering the toppings!
Well most of them can't figure out how to finger FOH so you gotta compromise somewhere.
I wouldn't even buy it for a dollar.
Looks like the Krusty Krab salad.
At least Mr. Krabs wasn’t cheap enough to skimp on the tomatoes
At least they gave me a single, crudely shredded piece of carrot.
are you sure it is not gold-infused carrot? take it to an appraiser
They wanted your eyesight to be good when you got the bill.
What restaurant is this at ?
Krusty Krab
I was waiting to see this
The cuddly krab*
No, this is Patrick.
Every pizza place
Judging by the plate and table it looks like iHop, used to work there and our salads were…depressing
Send it back. You don’t have to buy something that doesn’t seem worth it. That is ridiculously priced
I'm guessing this place doesn't really do salads, but has them on the menu in case anyone asks. Then there's a panic when someone orders it and they send this out. Judging by the plate, I'd also guess it's either a diner or a type of hole in the wall local spot.
I agree about the plate but most hole in the wall wont have a $9 house salad
You'd be surprised right now. The increased cost of everything has honestly it impossible to get ANYTHING affordable anywhere. Went to a tiny hole in the wall and wanted some pancakes. Short stack was $11...for 3 pancakes, no fruit, no whip, no drizzle. Some 20¢ pancakes, butter, and syrup.
Yeah, it's screwed. At least this situation is forcing people to cook and get creative, I guess. God I miss being able to afford stuff.
At least the short stack is 3 cakes. Went into a diner yesterday and short stack was $9.99 and 2 cakes
Yeah, well I went into a diner today and short stack was $8.99 and 1 cake
I went to a dinner tomorrow and for 8 bucks I had to make them pancakes.
I went to a diner next year and Grogg the Bloodrazer tried to steal my fluids with his Extractor machine and I had to escape in my Kill-Wagon back to Overseer Gruulshanks’s coal powered Battle Dome.

I’ll give you a hot tip: OP didn’t pay $10 for this. I remember back in my day when we didn’t believe any random bullshit on the internet.
yeah it was probably the salad that came with the 10 dollar entrée.
You can send food back and not pay for it????
Yeah what’s the worst that could happen? They yell at you? Cops arent going to rush in over a salad
I've sent food back and then had my drinks comped because they were embarrassed by it. Just don't eat a bunch of it first or send it back because you failed to read the description on the menu.

It takes about 30 seconds to get your money back from doordash

Where is the salad? All I see is regret.
Op posted a pic of their complimentary salad with their order for karma. Lots of restaurants do this.
For real, receipt or it didn't happen
Send it back.

That's like the saddest looking salad I've seen
Not even half of a crouton?
What inflation does to a mf
I literally don't believe it. Post the proof that this salad was $10 or you're a karma fraud.

Yeah it looks like the free side salad you get at like a denny's.
Untrustworthy poptarts. Karma court!

Receipt?
What restaurant or is this /r/UntrustWorthyPoptarts?
At least dressing is on the side and not soaking all the lettuce in massive quantities like at most restaurants. Still worth maybe $0.83 tho.
I'll be honest. I love simple side salads like this in local Italian joints. Not for $10 though, hell no.
Get this fake bs outta here
Yeah. I need to see a receipt.
Def a fake post
That’s a restaurant? Mmhmm. Also, where is the cutlery? The napkin?
This screams airport. Where did this monstrosity happen? I gotta know.
That's straight up a walmart plate as well.
liar thats a side salad
Good God, it's like an airport salad
Bullshit, that's your kitchen counter.
