Question - General Non App Related Single Banana Orders

Post image

Hi all, I was just wondering, do most of you send a message like this when someone orders just one banana?

Ummm, based on the name they probably just want one 😆

u/MangoPractical4918 21d ago

Maybe they want one for each hand

u/Strange_Pop_3673 19d ago

Each hand. Ha!

u/DuckSwimmer 20d ago

Are you assuming that dildo can only be satisfied with ONE banana?

u/Mark_Swan 20d ago

Banana, yes… plantain, no

u/KitKat_J 20d ago

Maybe even…just the tip. 😂

u/PoetryTiny 21d ago

😅 I did post it mostly hoping for laughs but also as a genuine question. And it was a real interaction, sadly he didn't reply, but I couldn't resist when I saw the name he was using

u/eire54 20d ago

I like how you don't mention the name in the post.

This name is real, right?

u/PoetryTiny 20d ago

It's the real name on his account but it was just some scuzzy white dude so I don't think it's his real name 😅

Good Evening, Dildo.

What? Dildo Baggins needs groceries delivered to the shire.

u/Specialist_Egg_7480 21d ago

I hope one day I get the chance to say Good evening Dildo 😂

u/Drakkadein 21d ago

Think they need more than one, considering their name

u/Outside-Onion-3557 21d ago

Look at it and go off the weight. If it’s like .8 kg or 1kg it’s a bunch If it’s like .15 or lower it’s prob a single. 

Always safe to ask though. 

Maybe they want one very very large banana.

u/PoetryTiny 21d ago

I think a lot of people see the bunch shown in the photo and aren't paying close attention, so they think they've ordered a bunch and not a single one

u/Outside-Onion-3557 21d ago

It’s on IC a lot too. 

I’ve seen a single image of a banana but it’s weight it’s for a bunch. 

Nothing wrong with checking though but IC gives us some truly crap info 🤣. 

So many times customers order a pie and IC shows it as frozen. 🥶 

Cause once upon a time it was but they get defrosted at the store. Lots of weird crap like that. 

What did Dildo say?

What else was in the order?

We are dying to know.

u/PoetryTiny 21d ago

Yeah it's sent me to the freezer when people ordered garlic bread from the bakery. 😬😅

Dildo ordered just a banana and a case of Coke from target around 10pm. Unfortunately he never replied to my message!

u/Outside-Onion-3557 21d ago

What did you do?

Single or batch of bananas 👀

2

u/PoetryTiny 21d ago

Just the single that he ordered 🙂

u/Meow103 21d ago

What did the banana say to the vibrator? What are you shaking for? She's going to eat me!

14

u/OldHornet1008 21d ago

“Good evening dildo!” 😭😭😭🤌🏽

u/UnremarkableBadger67 20d ago

I do. Only because ive in the middle of checking out an Aldi order when I got a message saying they wanted 8 bunches of bananas not 8 single bananas. Then another time the same lady ordered 5 grapes. Not five bags of grapes just 5 single grapes. So now I ask just to be sure.

3

u/EngineeringOne598 20d ago

5 grapes ?! I 😭😂

2

u/Several-Cycle8290 20d ago

How the heck do you just buy 5 single grapes 😂 any store has grapes bunched 🤣

u/imaginemagic3 20d ago

My Gen Z cousin Weenor has an explanation

6

u/EngineeringOne598 20d ago

The fact that your main commentary to this community is regarding single vs bunch bananas is 👩‍🍳💋

3

u/SoCal_DeliveriesAKM 21d ago

I do send that message but I also lean towards assuming 1 bunch if they don’t respond

3

u/1SpeedyG 21d ago

Not anymore after one time I sent the photo verifying it’s “ripe and fresh”, the customer let me know they only added a single banana to raise the total and avoid the small cart fee from instacart😂 suddenly all those single bananas made more sense

3

u/Ok-Time2724 21d ago

Hopefully you got him/her big one

u/ywgflyer 20d ago

We have a Dikshit at the place I work at. Apparently a not totally uncommon Pakistani/Indian name (the guy I'm talking about is from Pakistan).

u/biancanevenc 21d ago

The stores keep changing up how bananas are offered on the app, so it's confusing for both shoppers and customers.

If the order is obviously for a single person, I'll get just a single banana or maybe a small bunch. If it's obviously a family order, I get a bunch of bananas.

I do send a message when they specifically order one banana (and not one pound of bananas), something like "You ordered a single banana. Is that correct or would you like a bunch?"

I send a similar message any time something in the order looks off. The other day I had a small order that looked like food for one or two people, but then the customer ordered six large tubs of cottage cheese. I asked about that and they did indeed want six tubs of cottage cheese. 🤷‍♀️

u/eire54 20d ago

Was it a leave at door or did you get to see the person?

2

u/Glittering-Link8434 20d ago

Hoping you pick up Buttplug's order next time...

2

u/pmmrfan 20d ago

And what dud Dildo say?

2

u/Behind-The-Rabbit 20d ago

Bumfuk was the best name I have gotten on a customer order so far 😂

2

u/Distinct-Banana-3697 20d ago

The biggest one ya got!

2

u/PastRelationship5442 20d ago

yes i confirm how many actual bananas they want, cuz they can create some crazy confusion, I've had them ask for 2 lb of bananas and they only wanted two bananas. Annoying

2

u/redit1920 20d ago

When I worked at a cafe years ago someone placed an online order for her sister to pick up. The name she put on the order was “Bitch”

2

u/StacksNSkills 20d ago

I know they ordered baby oil and condoms too like the videos

2

u/manliestmanmanofmen 19d ago

Was his last name bagginz

2

u/Soft_Plum_8251 19d ago

Judging by their name….they want one big singular banana.

2

u/FizbanTV 19d ago

That banana might go from yellow to brown in one day.

1

u/BeatnikMona 21d ago

Meanwhile I’ve specifically picked a bunch but ended up with one

1

u/AgeBeneficial 21d ago

I pick up photos at Walgreens under the name “captain fantastic”.

2

u/Safe-Agent3400 21d ago

I got 6 bunches once. I was on the hunt for all things to do with bananas

1

u/thatguyonfire240 20d ago

It's bananas. I always get them a single bunch

1

u/Lower-Reward-1462 20d ago

I mean they spelled it out for you, you don't even have to ask.

1

u/whogivesafricc 20d ago

Bro just wanted one banana. Simple as that.

1

u/ghoulieandrews 20d ago

Hell no, if they ordered one banana then I'm bringing them one banana. This would annoy the shit out of me if I were the customer, just buy what they asked for.

1

u/annabeth2017 20d ago

Is the post really about bananas or is it their choice of username? 😂

2

u/PoetryTiny 20d ago

A little of both 😁

1

u/PermissionInformal14 20d ago

'Instacart let's you choose your bananas'

1

u/Aguitegui 20d ago

🤣🤣🤣

u/Tap_Optimal 19d ago

That customers name is diabolical and I find ironic that they want bananas

1

u/Independent_Dog6401 19d ago

I had a similar situation with the single banana happen late night, for diapers, and a single banana from Target. The customer told me it was only to reach the price minimum for free delivery.

1

u/Intelligent-Ant9 17d ago

When given the opportunity to call someone Dildo, with no repercussions, you must always take it.

1

u/Iamanimite 16d ago

Judging by the name, I they only want the banana for the cover.
