  I can’t recall running into paper labels on fruit before, idk where OP lives.

  They’re all removable here.

      Plastic coated paper even!

      I see them far less often than I used to.

      Wow, I expected this from the US, Canada, or the UK.

      I thought having clear rules for an efficient society was Germany’s whole thing.

        The rule is “a banana from one brand must never be scanned as a banana from the other brand” lol. People rip bananas apart all the time and then always say it was the cheapest one at the cashier. So there is a need to put a sticker in every single unit.

    as said common in usa but I swear I saw a tech to like burn print things with peels to make these unnecessary. Feels like if it worked well enough we should be seeing it by now.

  I usually shop at Aldi, and their brand comes in plastic bags, with no stickers on the fruit. Still not ideal, but at least it’s easily separable.
