Is this one banana per employee? Or one banana and they have to fight over it?
Probably some sort of banana split.

It’s a banana, how much could it cost?
only a few years ago, about $20 each.
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”?
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
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!
Sounds like a lovely workplace ngl
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.

Hey free banana is a free banana
You have been promoted to junior assistant manager, acting.
Free banana and a promotion? Noice
Oh my sweet Summer child
What, does it actually cost money?
Your soul
That has been sold a long time ago, the banana is just extra
“I may not have a soul, but at least I’ve got potassium!”
Hell yeah
The Amazon campus has free banana vendors that anyone can just walk up and take a banana, even if you don’t work there. They almost always had extras.
I used to walk past one on my way home and would snag one if there were any left for the day.
This “perk” is something Amazon literally threw away every day.
“Banana for scale” takes on a whole new meaning here.
What is this, some elementary school?
Literally treating their workers like trained monkeys
Don’t forget to bring a lawyer to the food court, if you want the banana that is.
