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

[–] JizzmasterD@lemmy.ca 33 points 2 years ago

Probably some sort of banana split.

Banana Royale

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

[–] aeternum@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago

only a few years ago, about $20 each.

[–] ForbiddenRoot@lemmy.ml 55 points 2 years 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!!

[–] EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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.

What is this, some elementary school?

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 years 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 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[–] Speiser0@feddit.de 12 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Starkstruck@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Literally treating their workers like trained monkeys

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Get banana at 9am. Remain at banana stand Use banana for time scale Proceed to Eat banana slowly Finish banana and leave at 7pm Claim 2 hours banana overtime

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 2 years 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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What about a pack of 1989 Batman Movie trading cards?

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

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

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Think outside the banana on this one.

One banana per slip and fall workmans comp claim.

They are really offering extra paid vacation time.

[–] geekworking@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Need a banana for scale

[–] turbodrooler@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

A banana, so you can go fuck yourself

EMPLOYEES! Eat banana! EMPLOYEES! Work for banana!

What a nightmare poster that is.

[–] PrismMind@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Funny but I don't think it fits the sub
