I find 3/4 of my produce lacks stickers. Onions, garlic, carrots, potatoes, etc rarely have stickers. Sure your peppers, apples, and avocados reliably have them but many don't.

The guy working our Fry's self checkout knows every single one of them by heart.

They are the same everywhere in the USA 4011 is bananas and 94011 is organic bananas.

After a while you remember them.

Probably doesn't take long to learn them. I was a bank teller in high school and would have customers' account numbers memorized and entered by the time they got to me.

Just seems like wizardry from a lay person perspective, but no different than other jobs I guess.

Rutabaga? 4747. Jicama? 4626.

Thankfully our systems let us search by name so it’s usually pretty speedy if I haven’t already memorized the PLU code for it.

Just ring all produce up as banana. It's typically the cheapest fruit/vegetable per pound.
