My last job had a "wonky" fruit subscription for us to grab. Took home a whole pineapple once.

They also treated us like people and paid a living wage... But PINEAPPLE!!

How does that even happen? Did the pineapples go on discount that week and Dave from accounting thought "why not"?

Sometimes they put them on sale for $1 and then I find myself with a whole pineapple sitting around in my kitchen so yeah I think you're spot on with that theory

It was a subscription from a company we already bought from, they sold fruits and veg that weren't pretty enough for supermarkets, but were great for cooking, baking, and in our case, brewing. Most of the times it'd be apples and citrus, but one box had a whole pineapple. I was the last one out that day and no one had taken it... So PINEAPPLE!

Sounds like a lovely workplace ngl

Now the real question is did you eat it, or do the "Renaissance/Victorian Era" European thing?

[–] Krelefante@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What's the thing? Did they wear it as a hat to show how rich they were, being able to afford a pineapple?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Kinda. They held pineapple parties and used them as the centerpieces. I don't think they ate them, but maybe they did.
