Wow. That is a very obscure reference but I got it.
well i did not
Most (all?) fruit sold in American grocers has an assigned code for ringing up at the register. Bananas is the only one I remember anymore, but it's 4011. Not sure if it's a global standard.
Idk about register code, but if you weigh them yourself, bananas are #1 in at least 2 chains here
Ah, thanks. I thought it was loss.
It is the PLU code used for bananas in grocery stores. The PLU code is the code the cashier punches in before weighing the produce to get the correct price.
I think that's because 4011 is a cool number for bananas /s
No jk, I don't know
I didn't.
::: spoiler Spoiler
In the US and likely elsewhere, 4011 is the scale/cash register code for non-organic bananas sold by weight.
non-organic bananas
:|
Yep. All silica.
And a bit of added ⁴⁰K, just for the extra authenticity.
Organic bananas is just 94011
I used to randomly punch in the non-organic code for the organic bananas just cuz
Or anything in Burlingame, California.
I had to google it
As someone whose first job was a grocery store cashier, this was great. Funny enough, I still remember this 1 code since we are now forced to use self checkouts. Still works!
Big same. When I quit the grocery store some 20 years ago, I immediately deleted all those codes from my memory. But this one remains.
Works for steak and OTC medications too.
What?
It’s the produce code for bananas. Probably one of the most widely known as people also use it to steal at grocery stores at self checkout.
It's not stealing if it's from a multi billion dollar corporation.
No, they just jack up the prices for the rest of us so their executive bonuses don't change.
So we all gotta steal more. Need help?
Some neighborhoods tried, shops ended up closing, causing a lot of problems for the community. The corpos won't make it easy to pull one over on them.
Obvs more complicated than that, but generally.
And like, if you can't get groceries in your neighborhood; just organize raids into more affluent ones?
Yes, but that will just end in violence among ourselves fighting for the last can of beans. I'm all for sticking it to big corp, but innocent people can't get hurt in the crossfire.
Forcing a store to close only make the underpaid staff jobless. The execs can go open up shop somewhere else, or have enough of a financial cushion to not give a fuck and retire.

True that.
My mind is reeling from the idea that there's universal codes. I would have imagined that every retailer maintained their own inventory and codes.
I never considered using it to price other items! Don't got that stealing mindset, I guess.
My mindset is that if you're going to steal, make it worth it, not risk getting a record and banned from local stores because of few dollars.
You should use 94011, way more secure.

If you focus on the background you see a disturbing ball sack.
