Let me be very very clear-I HATE TIM HORTONS. Hate might not even be a strong enough word. Loath, despise, abhor, am disgusted by, etc. There isn't a word strong enough to describe my hatred. Part of it is based on personal experience. I have been personally discriminated against by Tim Hortons. I once applied for a job years ago and was well qualified for the minimum wage mindless work involved, having worked for almost 2 years at a Robin's Donuts. After a ridiculous interview process which involved taking pretend orders and making change (cause it's hard to calculate $3.33 from $10.00) I was told that they'd love to hire me if they could find a uniform shirt "LARGE ENOUGH". Now, I know I'm overweight, but I'm not a frigging blimp or anything! Needless to say, I never got a call from the bastards.
Now on to non-personal reasons. Tim Hortons coffee is weak, tepid piss water. The taste is almost non-existent and all of their "baked" products are made in a giant factory in Ontario somewhere and shipped out frozen. Not one thing is made fresh on-site. It's not hard to make donuts. In fact, it's one of the most basic bakery, yeast, dough preparations. Tim Hortons has become such a problem that I actually heard people in Cuba, where they have some of the best coffee in the world, saying "Man, I can't wait to get back to Toronto to get my Timmies" and yet I would have been in the wrong had I hit them upside the head!!!
I'm going to stop now because I could keep going and going and going and going and eventually go mad from discussing all the reasons Tim Hortons is the devil and should be eradicated from the face of the earth.
So I'll meet you at Tim's tomorrow as usual for our Saturday morning coffee?
