One Burger King restaurant in Regina is not purchasing tomatoes as condiments for their burgers rather than buy sub-par tomatoes.
"Due to weather-related crop damage, there is a nationwide shortage of tomatoes that meet our high standards. We are currently out of tomatoes. Our sincerest apologies for this inconvenience," reads a sign at the Burger King order counter at Park Street and Victoria Avenue.
According to Mark Drouin with the Canadian Produce Marketing Association, the extreme hurricane season in Florida pounded tomato crops, causing a shortage of supply and an increase in prices.
Okay...Burger King being choosy...with all the condiments fast-food burgers have on them, you wouldn't notice if they slipped a piece of styrofoam in there, never mind a sub-par tomato. Whatever! The article this news piece came keeps on referring to tomatoes as a fruit. I thought it was a vegetable.
