Paweł enabled the “Quiet Streets” mode on his phone specifically to avoid squeezing through the morning crowd near the town market. He was just trying to reach a nearby café for a peaceful pre-work coffee, and his navigator assured him the side lane on the right was completely clear.

The lane was indeed empty—until the corner. Beyond it stretched long tables filled with local cheeses: a Saturday tasting event was underway, which the app’s weekday satellite map didn't account for. Tapping “Avoid busy area,” Paweł followed a new arrow into an adjacent aisle, where a vendor immediately offered him a piece of brined cheese on a toothpick. Arguing with cheese on an empty stomach seemed like unnecessary work.

The next aisle turned out to be the bakery section. Trying to dodge a tray of poppy-seed rolls, Paweł asked his phone for another detour. The new arrow led him deeper into the market, straight into a free serving of warm fruit punch. With pastry in one hand and a paper cup in the other, Paweł could no longer tap the screen. He surrendered and finished his drink at the edge of the table.

From there, he finally spotted his café’s front door. Nobody was waiting outside: every potential customer was busy sampling pastries in the market.

Paweł walked into the quiet café and ordered an espresso. While the barista prepared his drink, he opened the saved route. He decided not to delete it—without his phone's error, he would have taken the main street and missed a free breakfast.

He renamed the route “Saturday Samples” and added a note: “Do not edit. Arrive hungry.” For next Saturday, he set an alarm to leave twenty minutes earlier so he would have enough time to taste everything.
