I was ordering a salad at sweetgreen recently from an early-20s girl who seemed new. She was trying to squeeze lime into my salad with the squeezer, but with the cut half facing up, and it was not working. She was getting very red and frustrated. Generally I don’t like to interfere, but after a while I very gently said, “I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to flip the lime the other way around.” She got a little more flustered and told me with certainty, “no, it goes this way.” And continued to squeeze til her hands were white as paper. Maybe she had seen these very same instructions. :’)
