They are clearly trying to mislead. I have never seen bananas sold any way but by the pound in my entire life.

The sign says they are selling the bananas for 19/100th of a cent each.
Trader Joe's sells bananas for 19 cents each.

Trader Joe's sells bananas this way all the time.

This is clearly a case of deceptive advertising. I bet they "bait & switch," too.

Convenience stores in the U.S. sell bananas that way too, they're a great healthy on the go snack, as the smaller front sign points out.

A recent CL "best of" from the Bay Area, kind of the Tao of TJs:
Immaculate Produce at Trader Joe's 6/26 - w4m
I was the blue-eyed brunette in black leggings who asked you if Trader Joe's was still selling collard greens on Sunday, June 26. While you checked in the back, I texted my roommate about the "adorable produce guy at TJs". You reported back to me the bad news; then while I decided on my alternate, you arranged all those greens - the kale, the romaine, the spinach, the micro-greens - in the most immaculate formation I have seen. It was artistry of the type I see in pine cones. When I finally decided on the kale, I clumsily knocked another bag down with it and you had it picked up and put back in half of the blink of an eye. Then I ran away - just me, my regret, and my organic Tuscan kale.
