Totally Bananas

[andrew1707]

A friend of mine went to Sainsbury's today for some bananas. All the loose bananas were very green, no yellow ones at all.

Working on the principle that a banana is a banana he open up one of the packs of yellow Eric and Friends small bananas and stuck the contents in one of the plastic bags meant for loose bananas , paid and went back to work.

At work he checked what the price difference was online, as there had been no price tag for the Eric an friends small bananas in the store, was the difference....5p , 10p or even 20p.......

Online, Eric & F small bananas are showing as £1.38 for 8.
When weighed as loose bananas .....50p

So the robbing ba****ds are charging 88p to put a bunch of bananas in a plastic bag.

My friend was quite irate about this.

I only like them hard. Not green exactly, but just ripened so they're not bitter.
Can't abide them soft - unless they're in a cake.
No smut please. ;-)

that's actually theft. Our local Tesco had problems with people putting expensive boxed alcohol into cheaper boxed alcohol boxes, its the same thing.

[bednobs]

isn't it your friend that robbed sainsbury's by opening a packet of abannanas at one price, in order to buy them cheaper as loose bananas?
Surely the differing price of banannas is all about choice -obviously some people prefer to buy them pre-packed (or they wouldn't sell them)

So he was pulling a fast one then.

I can see no other reason you'd tear off the original packaging and put it in unmarked bags.

I am happy to report that my friend has been reported to the local constabulary, who, after beating him to the ground and Tasering him repeatedly, have arrested and charged him with theft.
You can all sleep safely now that this threat has been removed.

Now now Andy, no need to get snitty with ABers cos your mates a thief.
Not only a thief but a callous one.
Eric's nanas are a Fairtrade product.
Which means that some poor little sods in Africa went to bed with no supper cos of your mate.
Don't you feel ashamed. :-(

[andrew1707]

I think that all of Sainsbury's bananas are Fair Trade so no poor little sods where put out by this infamous act.

[jno]

sure they were. Your mate didn't like what the supermarket was offering so he just took what he wanted. The money he saved comes out of the pockets of the starving children of Bangladesh. Nice one.

[Svejk]

Must admit your right there, Andy.
Apologies. He's still a thief though.

When the Police arrived was their car going "nee naw" or "na na"?

What your friendd has done is theft, plain and simple,
He has taken an expensive product, removed the packaging and put it through the till as the cheaper loose bananas.
If I was him I would be careful about going back there in case they have spotted him doing this and are looking out for him again.
You wouldn't go into the supermarket and swap the heinz beans labels for shops own label just so you could get them cheaper, but that is basically what he has done. Theft.
