No Albertson's here. Albertson's sold their stores in Northern
California and Northern Nevada to Save Mart back in 2006 (seems like
longer ago to me). The Save Mart stores around here are called
"Lucky" and I was in one just the other day. No small bananas there,
just the regular kind (and I don't remember them stocking any other
type of banana back when it was called Albertson's or before that when
it was Lucky). Same with Safeway and Trader Joe's, not even
Andronico's.

If I went to the Mission and poked around a few green markets, I would
probably be able to find a limited selection of alternative bananas (I
know I've seen the red ones somewhere) but mainly the cultures that
live around here tend to buy regular (Dole type) bananas and of
course, plantains. I know I'd be able to find a large selection of
various types of banana if I was in Hawaii, but I'm not. The biggest
nod we give Hawaii here is a plethora of Hawaiian BBQ joints.
