Remember Bento #7? Lovely TMT sandwich?
We were bad. We admit it. But how were We to know? We brought that lunch to a bookstore--Borders--to study. We bought coffee, We plugged in Our laptop, and We settled in to read. An hour and a half later, We felt rumbly. We replenished Our coffee, brought it over to Our table, and tucked into Our sandwich. A few minutes later, the coffee guy who always tells us "There's no more hot water" or "Only two drinks per customer" slyly when We've been studying too hard and are gullible to such maneuvers comes over. He says that Our lunch is illegal! We've been doing this there for quite some time. We suspect he's flirt-lying again. He says no, that it's always been a rule but that no one enforced it--but said store recently introduced sandwich-y affairs, and so now the manager will kick out people eating Forbidden Outside Food. He said that he did not care, but to watch out. We apologized and told him We would make other plans next time. We finished our lunch furtively.
A nearby lady expressed sympathy, especially as their sandwiches are not cheap. We sighed that it's worse because We try to be vegetarian, and a good vegetarian sandwich is hard to come by--everyone always just melts cheese over a tomato and expects gratitude. Her sympathy deepened.
We are displeased, Borders. It's not as though We don't buy your coffee and scones!
