Ha, wait till you try RGB modded SNES. Then you'll really lose your mind.

Them stores track shrink like hawks, so yeah, one banana matters when a hundred people do it a day. That 12% false alarm is annoying but it's also why theft stays low enough they don't jack up prices on everything else. You got caught on a technicality, no big deal, but pretending the system is dumb just because it flagged you is kinda childish. Also the farmer's market thing is a romantic idea until you get a bruised bag of apples and nobody to complain to. The robot side-eye is a fair trade for stuff not sitting in a hot truck.

The part about saving every bone and scrap for broth really hit home. Most folks I know, including myself, would toss those without a second thought. It's crazy how a little patience and planning can turn one chicken into a whole week of dinners. I've tried stretching a rotisserie chicken before, but never got four full meals out of it, so this gives me some new ideas. Good on the food bank for teaching practical stuff like this.
