2 Rupees

Mumbai, as in my last post, is unique in many sense. With passage of time I am discovering some of the unique things of city. Six working day at office is certainly not helping the cause.

As in last post, Poha, upma and Idli are most favored item for the breakfast but its the toast/sandwich that is available for whole day. Its quick, healthy and filling( Toast filled with vegetables). However the vendors keep few prepared for evening rush. If you are in hurry and take the ready one you are charged Rs. 12 and if you insist on the fresh piece its cost Rs. 14.

The ready piece is also warm and its not that they are serving the cold one.

As you take a prepared piece they make another ready and replace and the next one again has the option.

Whats the Rs. 2 charged for? May be trust that you don't have in vendor that its stuffed properly or its made long back but that you can find out in first byte itself as you know whats in stuffing. The vendor will not take a chance with the less stuffing as toast vendors are present at max 5 min walk

This 2 Rs. charge is something a puzzle.

Even if the fresh one is only 0.000001% better, everyone will ask for fresh one and the prepacked ones will lie there forever. It's a charge to discourage bad behavior.
