Seems to vary by store, John. At HEB, which holds sainthood status to most Texans, I find lots of loose bananas. Most importantly, almost none still showing any green and many, perhaps most, showing bad dark splotches and streaks on the skin. By contrast, a neighborhood Walmart near me has just what I’m looking for - very few loose, a good percentage, perhaps 1/2, still showing a lot of green (the way I like them for endurance). I haven’t been in any other stores in person since the pandemic began except Aldi which displays bananas in their shipping boxes and they’re usually all still completely green and hard and you almost never see loose bananas.
