When I worked at a grocery store at age 16, I worked with an older man probably in his 60s. He said he'd been stocking shelves his whole life. We were unloading bananas and he told me how back in the day, they would sometimes find whole goddamn tarantulas in the banana boxes, or between bananas in bunches. Makes me seriously look at these boxes differently.

Those were probably banana spiders. I had a similar conversation with an older gentleman in my department. The bananas would come in these large wooden boxes, and they would break them apart with a large knife. Sometimes, they would see these spiders and kill them.
