Am I terribly wrong in not rating Tim Hortons? I sometimes worry about ever being accepted here because of my lack of enthusiasm for them!

Nah! You're not wrong. TH coffee is OK, but I find a few other places in town that I prefer.
Now if Tim's pal Bobby Orr had the franchise, I guess I'd drink it out of loyalty.
I watched him from PeeWees in Parry Sound, thro' to Boston.
Back to coffee! I prefer my own if push came to shove.

Plenty of Canadians don't like Tim Horton's either.

I like their chocolate glazed doughnuts when I'm in the mood for a chocolate glazed doughnut - but that isn't often. But other than that many see them as just another rat-raced, ugly, plastic, suburban, McDonaldish store sitting alongside all the other depressing soul-less, mind-less shops that usually surround them. Also, their brewed coffee is usually burnt (brewed at too high of a temperature) to taste any good.

There are just so many better places (on so many levels) to get a good coffee and a pastry.

No offence to those who would disagree, just IMO.

Don't like coffee. If I did I wouldn't queue (sorry line up) for TH, would probably go to Country Style, never a queue there.

As a coffe drinker I can tell you there is a good reason there is never a line up at Country Style. Great apple fritters though...much bigger than Timmys.

I preferred Second Cup to Tim Hortons, they seemed better priced.
