Why Put Bananas in Plastic Bags?

I've watched with a mix of great amusement and ecological sadness as some people in Sainsburys put bunches of bananas in thin plastic bags. Do they realise that there's absolutely no need? Bananas don't leak, smell or make other goods sticky when put bagless in your Bag-For-Life with your other purchases. This gossamer thin layer won't protect them from being crushed? Without being ageist, these people seem to be old buggers who struggle to get their chosen bunch in to the low micron guage plastic bag, provided from the cardboard dispenser above the banana area, as the individual bananas on their bunch separate, but still stay attached to the thick stalk, increasing the difficulty of getting the bananas in to the bag.
Why do they do this? If you want some free next to useless small plastic bags, just take some. Surely there's no need to take two minutes trying to put bananas in them?

Hmmmmm......not ageist then....???

Presumably you belong to the elite group who will be forever young, have no understanding of the elderly and no doubt, if your parents aren't already dead are busy booking their train tickets to Dignitas.

Presume you checked the colour of said bananas? If green, putting them in plastic bags speeds up the ripening process you know.

What has always confused me is people sitting in offices with unwashed hands taking the whole thing out if the skin, throwing skin away & then eating it with their sticky mitts all of over it? Why ?

What's confused me is people sitting in offices believing it is they that make the world turn.

Instead of wasting a plastic bag, they should have bought them when they went shopping last time, hence giving them a week to ripen naturally whilst reducing their plastic bag usership by one.

As previously alluded to it's technically a herb.

Yes, and an apple is a tree, no doubt.

Surely they're eating the fruit of a herb - Wkik: "A banana is an edible fruit produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa."
