      If you don’t like banana, you’re free to pick any of the fruits listed.

              Back to work. Also your toilet privileges have been withdrawn for spending too much time in there on company time. Have a nice day.

    Last year at my warehouse they gave us all half a cookie in appreciation of all our hard work… I keep wondering when we will get the other half. They pay us a really good wage so I don’t mind if it’s Bananas or half a cookie.

    Must be from the place with all those monkeys on typewriters. This is where they write the Marvel movies.

    Relevant story time:

    One time, as a warehouse manager, I wanted to get the overnight shift some fruit to snack on during the shift. We had like 100 people there. So I drove to a grocery store at like 11PM and bought pretty much all of their fruit. The cashier was extremely confused. Also, I drove a mini Cooper so it was absolutely packed floor to ceiling with apples, oranges, bananas, and some other stuff.

    I didn’t want to carry it all in so I drove my car into the building at the start of the shift.

    So my hundred or so employees show up to work then see me rolling into the building with a mini Cooper just bursting at the seams with fruit. It was a fun way to start the night for everyone.

    My last job had a “wonky” fruit subscription for us to grab. Took home a whole pineapple once.

    They also treated us like people and paid a living wage… But PINEAPPLE!!

      Now the real question is did you eat it, or do the “Renaissance/Victorian Era” European thing?

        What’s the thing? Did they wear it as a hat to show how rich they were, being able to afford a pineapple?

          Kinda. They held pineapple parties and used them as the centerpieces. I don’t think they ate them, but maybe they did.

      How does that even happen? Did the pineapples go on discount that week and Dave from accounting thought “why not”?

        It was a subscription from a company we already bought from, they sold fruits and veg that weren’t pretty enough for supermarkets, but were great for cooking, baking, and in our case, brewing. Most of the times it’d be apples and citrus, but one box had a whole pineapple. I was the last one out that day and no one had taken it… So PINEAPPLE!

        Sometimes they put them on sale for $1 and then I find myself with a whole pineapple sitting around in my kitchen so yeah I think you’re spot on with that theory

    I don’t particularly fancy the taste of bananas but I still eat them occasionally because I appreciate their nutritional value.

      I wish that the Gros Michel variety of banana could be grown outside of select greenhouses. If you’ve ever had banana pudding, or artificial banana flavoring, you know what a Gros Michel tastes like. If you want to have a banana that tastes that good though, they are an average of $96 a bunch. Cavendish bananas may look nice, but they have no flavor. I personally don’t care for them or Misi Lukis.

    This is especially funny for me because here, in India, “getting a banana” means you got nothing / got fscked over :)
