Re: Tim Hortons or Starbucks?
Speaking of a Timmies run.
I would like to know why people will line up in the drive-thru line at Timmies out to the street and wait 20 minutes to half an hour for a cup of coffee when they could most likely have made a pot at home and had that extra time to get ready for work. Or get to work earlier and make coffee there.
They could even buy Timmies to make at home or work.
I would certainly hope they are not using the Timmies line-up as an excuse to be late.

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.
