GOOD GRIEF, I just witnessed a mad feeding frenzy at a Starbucks in Budapest. Two middle-aged women broke open a cardboard TO-GO box and literally attacked a small chocolate cake at the service counter. Not that I can’t relate to that kind of impulse, but they were blocking access for all the people behind them who were waiting to pick up drinks at the counter. Apparently, they needed that cake!! Eventually, one of the women scooped up the remaining crumbs with the last bit of cake and crammed it in her mouth as she gathered up the box and walked away. Stunned by what I had just witnessed, I looked over at a man standing nearby who rolled his eyes and smiled to signal that he had seen the whole thing, too. I smiled back and said, “I guess it was a cake emergency!”  ―R.D. Williams
