Tim Horton's dissapoints coffee drinkers in Canada;)

As a Canadian drinking a lot of coffee I have a choice of different places to go:

Tim Horton's is an iconic coffee shop (besides hockey, maple syrop, maple leaf etc.) where prices are low and service is fast.

However, their marketing scheme seems to be getting on some customer's nerves as of lately. Roll up the rim seems to be causing some dissapointmens in Tim Horton's customers, since they drink more coffee and win nothing.

I know, I know, Canada is boring and uneventfull, but belive me. We have some issues to deal with!!!!!!

But you choose not to exercise any other choice except an overpriced, swill producing American Franchise. :-)

Leafs are out of the playoffs already, time to cheer for Les Habitants! Go Habs Go!

All circumstantial evidence!

And what do Star*ucks drinkers win (other than a case of indigestion)?

I guess all those campaign promises are out the window......

Here's a cup for M :-)

Whinging Canadians the pair of you. Just drink the coffee and stop moaning. I still have not forgiven you lot for taking my eldest son away from me. Seduced him with the fresh air, space and good life you did. Two months he's been gone for good now and he's already bought a pick up truck and the accent is sounding dodgy already.

I stopped buying at Tim Horton's for two reasons:

- their products are now about 1/4 of the size they used to be, while the prices are 1/4 higher.
- they don't accept ATM payments.

they have got wireless connection. Besides, my Apple looks better in Sturbucks and would be probably stollen at Timmies;)
nothing unusual -another icon goes down the drain
negative attention has its benefits:)
ambiance baby, ambiance, it is all about ambiance, leather seats......hmmmmmm....

For a fee...

(so I understand, as you wouldn't have caught me in that franchise unless being dragged, drugged, kicking and screaming all the way...)



mmm... Apple danishes...


doing the swirl for the last 40-something seasons :-(


well it wasn't used in the last election as effectively as it could have been. You should have countered with some of your own Poseur Posters.


Silver plates with Tums would go a long way!

Wouldn't disagree. It is easier to "redevelop" the portion sizes than to as your loyal masses to accept a price increase due to inflation.


Where did he move to? Newfoundland?

ahem....I think there is more to the story than just the fresh air;)
sounds like he is assimilating already. I know you miss him:(
Timmies is a frenchise S.
next time I will consider it;). See it all depends on who I run against:)

I know, but it is not that franchise!

I love Timmy's, they are all over Detroit!

No - the accent is not that dodgy! BC

A skier like his old man!

Sadly no. He has disgraced the family and become a snowboarder. I've disinheritrd him

i didn't realize that BC had a different accent. I was struggling with mine the last time I was there, so.....
There is a man from New Foundland in my building and I thaught he was from another country:)

Boy, was I embarrased.!!!!!!He didin't even blink when I asked him. Nice people.

Shameful behaviour. Makes you wonder about parenting skills these days.

Next thing you know he will be mispronouncing roof, about and saying "eh?" all over the place.

Have you been to BC to check on the lad yet?


Some of the nicest people on the face of the earth. (Even some of them that participate in the seal hunt...)

sorry, I am just a naive immigrant who is trying to pass for a Canadian drinking posh coffee at starbcuks:)

Like millions of others my dear. Well, except for the Starbucks part...

Yea, but they only want to satisfy British (among others) market needs - over 4 tonnes of seal fur in 2006.

;DDDD

go to starbucks then.. we'll take your can dollars anywaday. lol

No. Best let him settle in first. Probably going out in June

Well for no one winning, I certainly seem to get a lot of those rims at work....this one girl won a coffee almost everyday sometimes twice a day

and it's hilarious because there were manufacturing defects on the cups, people were suspecting us of like just sitting there and rolling up the rims, it's ridiculous=)

I think I would be bether of with the car;)

Bring your clubs, not your skis.


or a New Bed! how did that work out for you, did you find one?

no, I gave up on that. Being on the student budget has its disadvantages i must say:(.

Here's an idea... GIVE UP STARBUCKS! :-)

i couldn't agree more, its ok Miranda i'll make you a coffee :) lol

Good point....

Sounds like I need to bring a few flasks of coffee too...

Trust me, there will be a Timmy's on every corner....

Tims sucks these days. Damn the 'roll up the rim' business! I never win :(
My other beef, wtf is up with the tea prices? It used to be $1 for any size and now they're charging per size...b@stards.


Indeed.

Still cheaper than starbucks. And it seems to me that starbucks products are needlessly (IMO) sweeter than timmies'. Do they want their customers to get diabetes? :)



Where would you rather live?
