jeff_536 3 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 It's because Canada is full of degenerates like me who will wait and extra 10 minutes to see "Please Play Again" underneath the rim of their cup every morning. FU Tim Hortons. I only won about 5 times this year!!!FU more...I got completely shut out this year. RIGGEDThat's the thing. If you took the normal coffee and donuts out it would be a pretty decent place. The sandwiches are good, flavoured/specialty coffee drinks are decent. The chilli is awesome. The coffee just seems like it's been filtered with Tim Horton's crusty jock.Chili should never ever have mushrooms in it. I will not argue this point. It is simply fact.

serge 904 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 In all this coffee talk the man who was Tim Horton gets lost..For those that dont know Tim Horton played hockey for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the NHL in the 60s and 70s and died in a tragic car accident when he was driving from Toronto to Buffalo.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Horton Link to post Share on other sites

RIGGEDThat's my only beef with Timmy's. Getting ice capps, which cost more than the damn coffee......but I don't get to roll up the gd rim! Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 No doubt. I'd wager that there is no drive thru, anywhere, any fast food franchise, that has more cars in line at any given time than Timmy's...... in the history of the world.How much? Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Coffee's gross.I'll stick to my 2L of Pepsi first thing every morning/afternoon/evening (whenever I roll out of bed).Kidding. Or am I?Either way, coffee is gross. Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Typical degen.I dunno. What do you got in mind?Well, I just realized the way you worded your statement could screw me. If the drive-THRU service sucks because our northern happy-go-lucky brothers don't demand better service, then the actual line would be longer for longer periods of time. NO BET!

NO BET!CHICKEN!!The long lines don't have anything to do with bad service. Generally speaking, they move it along pretty good. It's just THAT popular. Link to post Share on other sites

towerguy 0 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I had my first Starbucks coffee last week, and it wasnt bad at all. It did take me a few minutes to try and get the lingo down to order a coffee there though.Im currently working throughout Quebec, and some Timmie's still have the roll up to win cups.VIVA LA TIM HORTONS Link to post Share on other sites
