As someone whose first job was a grocery store cashier, this was great. Funny enough, I still remember this 1 code since we are now forced to use self checkouts. Still works!

Big same. When I quit the grocery store some 20 years ago, I immediately deleted all those codes from my memory. But this one remains.

Wow. That is a very obscure reference but I got it.

Most (all?) fruit sold in American grocers has an assigned code for ringing up at the register. Bananas is the only one I remember anymore, but it's 4011. Not sure if it's a global standard.

It is the PLU code used for bananas in grocery stores. The PLU code is the code the cashier punches in before weighing the produce to get the correct price.

You should use 94011, way more secure.

It’s the produce code for bananas. Probably one of the most widely known as people also use it to steal at grocery stores at self checkout.

It's not stealing if it's from a multi billion dollar corporation.

No, they just jack up the prices for the rest of us so their executive bonuses don't change.

So we all gotta steal more. Need help?
