People are fallible. Something can be done with it. Because failing sensibly can lead to innovation and progress. And sometimes just a coincidence is enough.
AAt the beginning of this week I was staying in a new hotel in Stuttgart. The breakfast rooms of such hotels are usually standardized. The advantage: you can help yourself to the buffet while half asleep. But in Stuttgart it was somehow different.
As I went to grab a fresh croissant, my hand hit a pane of glass. The cereal jars were also locked behind them. I must have looked desperate until a waiter told me rather condescendingly that these croissants weren't part of the breakfast buffet but were intended for later sale in the café.
