Clerk: "Um, sir, that doesn't look like a banana. Are you sure you entered the right code?"
The jig is up. Run
Apologize profusely
[Rhetoric: Heroic 15] Convince the clerk you don't know what fruits are

+1 You look terribly frazzled
This is a Red Check. It can not be retried
Rhetoric: [Heroic: Success] "Is this not a banana?" You say in the most genuine tone you can muster
Savior Faire: You may have been caught, but you managed to feign enough innocence to get trouble off your back
The clerk gives a dumbfounded expression
Clerk: "Uhm, no sir, that is an avocado, not a banana"
Half-Light: She is too terrified of your empty skull to properly correct you on this
Oh shit I'm gonna replay it again
Encyclopedia: It is in fact *not* a banana. A banana is an elongated, edible fruit – botanically a berry – produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called "plantains", distinguishing them from dessert bananas. The fruit is variable in size, color, and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a rind, which may be green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe. The fruits grow upward in clusters near the top of the plant. Almost all modern edible seedless (parthenocarp) bananas come from two wild species – Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. The scientific names of most cultivated bananas are Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana, and Musa × paradisiaca for the hybrid Musa acuminata × M. balbisiana, depending on their genomic constitution. The old scientific name for this hybrid, Musa sapientum, is no longer used.
