The place where this happened does NOT sell them by the piece. I stop
there for things once or twice a week and often by bananas. They always
have a cart full of them right in front of the check out and they are
sold by the pound.

It wouldn't. That would be one of the craziest ideas I can imagine in a
store, selling bananas by the piece then they might be cheaper by the
pound or vice versa?
