Apples are not bananas!

AuTriker

Tesco have substituted my bananas with apples! I eat a banana every day, but apples are nothing like bananas, they are crunchy not soft and I can't bite them so would have to use a knife which hurts my arthritis. While I could maybe have an apple instead on one day, I don't know what to do with 12 apples.

I assume they had no bananas not even organic ones. They do seem to have some supply issues, which is a problem. Maybe I shall have to add a comment about if they have to sub to pick a soft fruit.

Annoying!

At least they now have lebkuchen which are my fave treat and I wish they had all year not just at Christmas.

  • Ugh. This reminds me of the last time I used Walmart curbside delivery pickup service. I had ordered prime rib. They were out of prime rib so they gave me a tri-tip roast. A tri-tip is not a prime rib. It comes from the lower part of the sirloin whereas prime rib comes from the middle section of ribs between the chuck and the loin. 

    While I appreciated curbside pickup during Covid, I've long sinced resumed shopping for my own groceries. 

    Although I undersand that Tesco had to make a substitution, there is no substitue for a banana. They ought to have not given you bananas and then subtracted the cost from your total bill. 

    I wonder if this was a well intentioned employee's mistake as opposed to company policy.

    Yes. To be fair I do probably prefer this effort than just no bananas at all, but I think another time I need to specify soft fruit as a suitable sub. Although really no fruit is all that similar to bananas.
