Nobody believed the croissants had sold out

Platapode
An empty pastry tray and a stack of paper bags on a bakery counter.

The bakery had a chalkboard by the door. CROISSANTS SOLD OUT.

The queue kept waiting anyway. 7.37am, and every minute they wanted one a little more.

At 7.49am, the queue left with warm, freshly baked croissants.

Sold-out signs work. Just not for trust.
