Having said that
I recall seeing a market stall guy setting up one morning as I scuttle past on the way to work. He was arranging bananas, first pulling off the distinctive *shitsBerries* plastic baggies.
I guess shops won't accept already ripe stuff, as it can't sit on a shelf for weeks before going off. Incidentally most apples and stuff are 6-12 months old, having been refrigerated and sprayed with gas to stop them ripening. No wonder they taste like paper :(
