Free food

I got a pleasant surprise when at a Pret store the other night at closing time. They were throwing out their food because there was some issue with the charity that normally comes to pick up their leftover (boxed) food. They told my friends and me that we could take whatever we wanted, and gave us some plastic bags. So, the predictable result of giving free food to hungry people who just spent a couple of hours at the dojo followed: we all loaded up with bags full of sandwiches and salads. For the $8 I spent on my sandwich, I ended up leaving with some additional six sandwiches and three salads. Not a bad return on the investment. :-)

Incidentally, I guess they really do make everything fresh every day.

Anyhow, I thought it was nice that they gave it to us (and to charity normally) instead of just throwing it out.
