Michal BryxíHive mind: Why do we put stickers on apples? It has to be more expensive than not to. It serves no purpose conceivable to me. It’s annoying to everyone I know. There has to be some perverse “number go up” incentive, right? Right?!
@MichalBryxi for identification at the register, we could laser mark them instead but crazy people really don't like that idea
@i Oooh #TIL that this is an idea. But also in this case it’s not an issue: I pick the apple from the box. I have to put it onto a scale right next to it. And I have to transfer the number from the box to the scale machine. Afterwards the shop ceases to care what apples are those as I have barcode for the cashier.
And if I mix them as a user? Meh, solution looking for a problem.

@MichalBryxi and that apple had that sticker across continents of supply chains before it got to you
fraud is the sad answer, but it's a cheap solution for an expensive problem

@i I guess? But then the price of forging a sticker is absolutely nothing.
But then again … this very apple is very local and I bought it for that very reason … so …
