You're basically suggesting that they go back to the standard offering that they abandoned a couple of years back. (
I remember the old 'deli plate' well. It had meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and condiments. That, with a warm roll was a fantastic snack plate. Hard to believe it would cost more than a few cents more than the current model. I have not yet seen the fruit and cheese plate that also has meat.

I also remember reading threads here where the vast majority disliked that deli plate, and complained that there were always too many loaded instead of the other option(some type of salad I think). To each their own.
