    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.

        Look at fancy pants Germany over here with more than one brand of banana in a store.

  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.
