Yeah, right. $FruitStand.apples is not a direct access to the attribute, but a method invocation (a call to a method implicitly created by Raku), so it doesn't get interpolated within the string. So it should be outside the string or used with a code interpolation block.
For example: say "Fruitstand in {$FruitStand.location} has {$FruitStand.apples} apples."; or say "Fruitstand in ", $FruitStand.location, "has ", $FruitStand.apples, " apples."; or the construct with the ~ concatenation operator that you used.
