Is this one banana per employee? Or one banana and they have to fight over it?
It’s a banana, how much could it cost?
This is especially funny for me because here, in India, “getting a banana” means you got nothing / got fscked over :)
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!!
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!
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?
