Raspberries (and blackberries and all those similar) have a short shelf life which is why you rarely see them sold in stores. They might last a day or two but go bad fast (even with refrigeration.) Blueberries also go bad quickly but can last a bit longer. Yes, refrigerate them, but don't wait too long to eat.
In addition, your cherries, grapes, pomegranates, rhubarb and tangerines decay quickly without refrigeration. There are some fruits that do not have a preference on where they are stored and can be left at room temperature or stored in the refrigerator without any harm to the quality or taste of the fruit. These fruits will not ripen after picking. These are the ones you might store in a fruit basket on the counter.
