Any store has them. In jars and in the fresh vegetable dept.
Well now, I been to three Safeways, one Lucky, Whole Foods, Berkeley Bowl, and Piedmont Grocery. No luck anywhere. I think you are confusing banana peppers with peperoncini, as far as the jars go.

Is banana peppers the same as pepperonchini - Ask Community
...and for the fresh, I think you are confusing them with yellow wax peppers:

...which are available at most produce counters. I have yet to find banana peppers (fresh or pickled) anywhere, and most who work at produce do not even seem to know what they are when I've asked.

Have you tried any Mexican grocery stores? I know there are many in your area. As to how mild----- I don't know.
Nope. I know what pepperocini is. And I know what banana peppers are.
Both are readily available in my area.
Fresh banana peppers are usually available in every grocery store I shop at. Right next to the red and green bell peppers. In the produce section.
Pickled banana peppers are available in every store I have walked into. Mount Olive and Vlasic are the two that come to mind.
You can also get banana pepper rings. Hot or mild.
Right next to the pickles.
It looks like you are in Cali? Seems you would have a much better ability than I have to get the peppers you want.
