Is this one banana per employee? Or one banana and they have to fight over it?

[–] JizzmasterD@lemmy.ca 37 points 1 year ago

Probably some sort of banana split.

It's a banana, how much could it cost?

[–] aeternum@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago

only a few years ago, about $20 each.

[–] ForbiddenRoot@lemmy.ml 57 points 1 year ago

This is especially funny for me because here, in India, β€œgetting 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!!

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] troybot@midwest.social 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] rynzcycle@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

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.

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

"Banana for scale" takes on a whole new meaning here.

What is this, some elementary school?

[–] Starkstruck@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Literally treating their workers like trained monkeys

[–] Speiser0@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

Don't forget to bring a lawyer to the food court, if you want the banana that is.

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Available 9am until 7pm

That's quite a time span! Damn, your employer seems to appreciate your work very much! Get your banana, but there is no need to hurry. Just take your time and enjoy the anticipation

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago

Oh so managment is allowed to offer them a banana, but when I do it it's ""sexual harassment"" or whatever. smh double standards

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah a pension and benefits are great, but banana is banana.

Think outside the banana on this one.

One banana per slip and fall workmans comp claim.

They are really offering extra paid vacation time.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hate bananas. So thanks a whole fucking lot, boss.

[–] registrert@lemmy.sambands.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about a pack of 1989 Batman Movie trading cards?

[–] registrert@lemmy.sambands.net 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)
