Am I missing the joke? Tomatoes are fruits.
The joke is that almost everyone calls them vegetables because the botanic categorisation of parts of plants is niche jargon that is not useful in everyday life, whereas the culinary categorisation is useful, and so your shopping list correcting you is worse than unnecessary.

I mean, calling them fruits or vegetables doesn't matter when cooking imo.
The reason why I say this is that vegetables are not interchangeable in a recipe and neither are fruits.
