When I was 19 years old, I started working as a produce clerk for a large grocery chain in northern CA and spend a decade and a half doing that.
The icky bugs and stuff we would find… The bananas were the most common place to see invaders. Cockroaches, spiders and one time a tree frog (deceased) were among the usual suspects there.
One summer the central valley grapes were infested with black widow spiders. I never got bit, but came close. Yes, those suckers were always found alive.
