Cheap

Except when some genius at your local Walmart changes the price from $0.87/pound to $1.56/banana.

My store went from number 1 in sales of bananas in the country to dead last in just under a week because whoever set the prices was an idiot.

Also genetic diversity is in the crapper. One epidemic and we won't have bananas anymore.

Why do you know that data

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 25 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Because I worked there, in the department that handled bananas.

Literally a professional banana handler.
