The idea sounds reasonably fun. So long as the requirement for passing on the vegitable is easy, and there is no rule to pass the vegitable to the worst performing member of staff it could make for a decent office game. Not that I think it would actually help buisness or anything like that, but it might be fun on a slow day.
If a whole department or division is determined to be a heap o’ losers, could coleslaw be made of the cabbage and then equally distributed amongst the drones?
Has the bank replaced the national flagpole setup with a maypole? Is there a display of “harvest festival” photographs in the lobby, featuring secretaries and bank clerks posed with the produce? And is there the occasional gap or mysterious disappearance of said photos or employees after disastrous fiscal years? Do the bank employees get to take May Day as a holiday?* :dubious:
Well, then I shouldn’t worry too much, then.
Tee-hee, just the sort of real-life carryover from the olden times to make novels like Harvest Home and movies like The Wicker Man a tad more plausible, no?
I dunno, sounds like a good idea to me. At the hatchery yesterday, this lady in her 60’s had to rephrase what I was explaining to make sure she understood correctly:
“Wait, so the rooster has to have sex with the girl rooster before they can have babies?”
Would have been more dramatic to present her with a cabbage, gift wrapped, instead of just laughing my ass of at her. *
Back to the OP: I can see how someone might be miffed at being the receiving end of a visual name-calling, but I don’t see how this is newsworthy.
*She laughed at herself too. Had just never thought of it before, I guess.
I’ve had an account with the Bank of Scotland for years, and I’ve certainly received cabbage(4th definition) (and also kale) from them, but never cauliflower.

If your prefix Hibero- is referring to Hibernia, you might want to note that this term refers to Ireland, not Scotland. The nearest equivalent for Scotland would be Caledonia.

What is this world coming to? Bank managers placing vegetables on the desks of their own employees!? Sick, disgusting, appalling behavior. What’s next, passing ruffians saying “Ni!” at will to old ladies? Oh, what sad times are these.
