Let them eat cake

November 15, 2016 17:12

As stories of tired, hungry people waiting endlessly in queues outside ATMs and banks hog all the headlines across India, a small bakery in Mumbai, decided to do something about it.

Le 15 Patisserie tweeted this morning saying, @le15patisserie Kya aap kataar mein hai? Tweet us your ATM location, we might have cake for you!.

They then followed it up with pictures of their staff doling out individually packed chocolate brownies to people in the queue. Free.

Sure, they get publicity and may be customers (at some time in the distant future when Indians can withdraw money from their own bank account without skipping meals or waking up at 3 am.

A little something from an absolute stranger makes the wait a little better.

For those who want to dig into their macaroons and cakes, head to the Taj hotel at Colaba.

Mumbai's Marie Antoinette moment.
