After managing a produce section for a couple of years and essentially becoming one with the fruit, I retreated to the basement office for a couple of hours to produce a holy text. This text is one large excel sheet, neatly condensed to fit onto one piece of paper, containing the PLUs for every single fruit, vegetable, fungus and tuber ever carried within our sacred halls, or with any remote potential to be carried in my department at any point in the future. Each are nearly categorized by item type (roots/tubers, peppers, bulbs, citrus, tropical, melons, etc.).
The only flaw is that, while each grouping of PLUs are alphabetized, the categories/headers themselves are not, as I had to carefully arrange them in a way as to waste no space on the sheet while leaving no physical breaks either. The front-end cashiers revere this document and have since cast down their jumbled assortment of notes and papers previously taped all over their tills. All that remains is that single sacred text, my masters’ work and legacy. A gift from the holy one.
My magnum opus.
Now you just need a cashier that knows what the fuck a tuber is so they know which column to look in.
It’s labeled Root Vegetables/Tubers.
Now you need a cashier that knows carrots and potatoes are root vegetables.
The only exotic fruit I know is banana: 4011
You’re the only exotic fruit I know. 🥰
Stop calling me like that, I’m third generation.
I worked in grocery stores for several years in my 20s. That was 10 years ago, but I still remember so many vegetable PLUs and fly through self-checkout most times.
[insert confused kid meme here]
Your fruits and veggies don’t have the little PLU sticker on every single item?!?
Lucky.
4622 kiwi’s please
We just have little scales in the vegetable section where’s numbers and then you press the right number which is told at the pricetag and it prints out a sticker with the pricing info for you
First time I have seen a repost here on lemmy.
Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well
