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.
It is indeed a global standard!
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.
