Actually, she apologized to me. When I told her the bananas are sold by
the pound there, she checked again and then weighed them. They are sold
by the pound there.

There are places were bananas as sold by the piece, and any I have seen
sell them singly, not in bunches.

What I found amazing is how many people sided with the clerk yet have
never been to the store and never saw how they were priced. I can see
selling by the piece at a lunch counter, but I've never seen it that
way in a grocery store.

That should not be too surprising here. The only only exercise some of
these fools get is jumping to conclusions and stabbing people in the back.

Someone has already mentioned Trader Joe's. Certainly stores like
7-11 would and I'd venture to say that any store with an active
sandwich counter sells them by the each for their lunch crowd. It
wouldn't be unheard of to have two sets of pricing: by the piece and
by the lb.

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?

It's done. Buy one, pay the singles price (high). Buy more than one,
pay by the pound. Either way, the store is not losing any money.

No? Any place I have seen bananas sold by the piece they were a lot more
expensive than buying them by the pound. If I were a customer faced
with having to buy by the piece instead of by the pound and paying more
for the same banana I would be ticked off.

That's what I said. Your choice is to buy two of them if you want to
pay by the pound and if you make that choice, you'll be shelling out
more cash than the single price for one is. If you don't like it,
then take your banana business elsewhere.
