It's Bananas
It's been a while since I went to City Harvest. As soon as I went there around 6pm, a sweet aroma put me in a state of high. The task today was to fill the crates with loads of high-quality bananas. The bananas need to be removed from the plastic wrap and filled into a crate of around 12-13kg each. I know bananas taste sweet when eaten. But this is the first time I felt the sweetness in the air. The whole warehouse was smelling bananas.
Lettuce fill the crates
After loading the bananas, the next was crate separation. As usual, there were some super sticky crates that needed quite a few attempts to split them and arrange. Then we took those crates to the next task where we needed to fill the crates with lettuce, red radish, and green onions. Three of us were filling them up at a rapid pace before Ruby, the warehouse manager, said it was time to wrap things up as the clock ticked 8 pm.
Can't resist my craving for those bananas. So I ate one and took three back home.
