March 15th is the anniversary of a failed revolution. The Hungarians, led by Lajos Kossuth, István Széchenyi, Sándor Petőfi and Józef Bem started the revolt that turned into a war against the Austrian monarchy. The goal was independence for Hungary. Most of the agitators were later executed.
The Aldi cashier must have sniffed my indifference to the holiday. All I received was my change, but no rosette. Holding back until the person behind me was checked out, the man received a rosette. I thought being passed up was another revolt in a minor manner.
