Woman left disappointed by the sad fruit bowl she got at a hotel that looked nothing like the menu

A hotel guest was left dismayed by what she was given after she ordered a fruit platter with sparkling water. 

The American woman ordered the deal which the menu advertised a generously-portioned seasonal fruit plate with sparkling water for guests upon arrival for $15 (AUD $21.70). 

However what she received was far from luxurious. 

The guest, from Virginia, was given a ‘sad’ looking bowl of four pieces of fruit and two bottles of sparkling water that looked nothing like the picture on the menu. 

Posting on Facebook, the traveller shared an image of the refreshments she thought she was getting and what she received instead.

 Instead she was given a ‘sad’ fruit bowl with much less than what was advertised as well as too small bottles of soda water 

The photo advertised a tray with a bowl of two apples and two oranges as well as bananas, a board with a bunch of grapes and a couple of large bottles of soda water.

Instead, the guest received a bowl with two apples, one orange, one banana with two much smaller bottles of fizzy water. 

While she was disappointed by the ‘misleading’ meal she saw the funny side and posted the ‘fail’ online amusing other group members.  

This isn’t the first time a traveller has experience a fruit-related mishap. 

Another diner was disappointed by the fruit plate she ordered on a cruise that also looked nothing like the picture on the menu. 

The woman thought she was ordering a complimentary platter of multiple slices of watermelon, oranges, rockmelon, and pineapple as well as grapes and strawberries from room service. 

However what arrived at her door wasn’t exactly what she was expecting.  

A cruise ship guest was astounded when she ordered a fruit plate on room service to receive a ‘sad’ snack of just four small slices of fruit

She got a small plate with a singular slice each of pineapple, watermelon, rockmelon and honeydew. 

The guest saw the funny side of the fruit salad fail and shared images of her ‘snack’ to the popular Facebook group. 

‘I just embarked on a cruise for my birthday and ordered a fruit plate to be sent to my room as a lil snacky snack. The pic for ordering is so misleading,’ the traveller wrote in a post.    

Thankfully, she didn’t have to pay for the ‘woeful’ snack as the cruise offered free room service at certain times of the day.

Dozens of group members slammed the kitchen staff for sending the tiny fruit plate and encouraged the guest to complain. 

‘They’re missing like three fruits! I hope you didn’t pay,’ one woman replied.  

‘I would call them back and say ‘I’d like it to look like the picture you guys advertised with, thanks’,’ another recommended.  

Others thought it was hilarious and some pointed out the fruit slices might have been arranged to look like a sail boat. 

‘Is there a chance you’re just looking at it wrong and it’s supposed to represent a boat sailing off into the sunset??? lol,’ one member asked.     

‘Damn inflation really getting wild,’ joked a second while a third laughed: ‘Talk about portion control, sheesh’.    

‘Looks like the person who brought it ate the little snacky snack while bringing it, sorry girl,’ another guessed. 

‘Please tell me you’re joking?!’ someone else said and a second added: ‘This is so bad it’s comical.’
