They could even buy Timmies to make at home or work. :confused:

I would certainly hope they are not using the Timmies line-up as an excuse to be late. :thumbdown::mad:

I figured out very quickly when I worked in Mississauga that it was much quicker to park up and walk in than que in the drive through. It was just braving the weather during the winter!!!

Even if it tasted 100 times better I wouldn't touch Starbucks taking into account their attitude towards military people.

Timmies could be utter mud and it would still get my vote out of these two!

Allegedly a military person was refused service in one of their outlets because he was in his uniform. This has since been denied by Starbucks.

I don't know 100% for sure if it is correct but thinking along the lines of 'There's no smoke without fire' I'll keep away from them.

Anyway, Timmies Maple Creame doughnuts are such a draw . . . . . . .

Arent they the "old fashioned"? dry and dusty....

Thats just some of them anyway, they seem to rotate available types around here, but chocolate and sour creme glazed are my two favourites when I indulge.
