Crisis in the work place…the last banana

I am working on a client site this week (to remain nameless of course) and I witnessed something yesterday that I have never seen before.  I think the collective stress that everyone is under with all the current uncertainty in the world is starting to show in the work place.  I was in the client canteen yesterday staring at the same sandwich fillings as always and trying to decide between tuna and egg salad when I heard an irritated and slightly raised voice.  When I turned I saw a man with a rather red face holding his arms out exasperation saying “was that the last banana?”.  The very nice lady working the counter responded in the affirmative.  The man started to tut and the poor woman who took the dreaded last banana looked embarrassed for beating him to it.  This man just kept standing there tutting and waving his arms in what  I assume was a vain hope that another banana would appear.  The moral of the story is that when we start blowing a gasket about the lack of fresh fruit in our canteen there is something seriously wrong!
