Anyway, I never drink the coffee as I can't stand the stuff and my body is a temple and I wouldn't want to place such crap into it I only eat or drink "good" food and liquids. I wouldn't want to live near a Timmies as the thought of having little alternative but to look at people waddling in and out of it all day would make me sick. Each to their own though. One good point about living so close is that you wouldn't burn as much fuel in your car as you would if you lived 500 metres further away driving there and back for a coffee each day.:thumbsup: |

My days of drinking one or two coffees a day has really diminished here..... just can't afford it. Oh and don't get me started on the price of cigarettes here... time to quit that habit soon as well.

Re: Tim Horton's as a selling point?!
Can't stand Timmie's coffee, although the doughnuts are good. Much prefer the real coffee shops that serve proper coffee.
The wife went into one with a friend and asked if they had Cappacino, the girl asked of she wanted vanilla or ... (can't remember the other 'flavour' was), the wife said no, just a normal one, the girl looked at her stupid as if she never heard of it. She couldn't have a normal one as they did not have a tin of that. What I hate (most) about them is the long, long lines of cars, they queue out into the road blocking traffic, why can't the lazy buggers park up and walk inside. |

I have no idea why people would do this at any time but especially on their way to work. :confused: Spend an extra 15 minutes at home make a cup of decent coffee and save a pile of money. |

The second line is taking the piss. I stuff all kinds of bad stuff into my mouth each day, although, never coffee. I can't see the attraction. The third line also reflects how I feel. I wouldn't want to look at people walking in and out of any store and wasn't a particular reflection of the people that walk into Timmies. As we all know, most that buy products at Timmies never leave their vehicles to do so. The fourth line was intended to be good advice, the closer they live, the less gas they will burn travelling there. See the paragraph above.:rofl: |

Realtor details of a property we were viewing mentioned Tim Horton's was nearby one particularly nice house. I can't see too many Brit estate agents boasting that a house was a few doors down from MacDonalds so could someone explain the cultural phenomonem that is Tim Horton's and is it worth living within smelling distance of one?

Re: Tim Horton's as a selling point?!
They opened up a Timmies on the ground floor of my building at work. I could not believe the line-ups, and suspect that all the other food offering on campus have taken a severe hit on their income.
It is, however, perfect student fodder - cheap. Unfortunately, those Honey Cruellers have turned out to be perfect ann m fodder too :o :D |
Re: Tim Horton's as a selling point?!
There's also a thing on the internet that you can plan journeys around Timmies stops.
We've been known to detour just fro these :o |
Re: Tim Horton's as a selling point?!
The only good thing about Timmies is that you can sneak in and use the bog without anyone noticing. Useful on road trips.
The coffee is foul. |
Re: Tim Horton's as a selling point?!
I bet Novo would love to live within easy reach of their ham and cheese and mustard sandwiches.

Re: Tim Horton's as a selling point?!
I find their coffee bland to be honest. As somebody else mentioned, I find McDonalds coffee far more drinkable. However, their Ice Mocha's in summer are a bit addictive.
I've often wondered about the phenomenon that is T.H.'s & why so many Canadians are happy to sit in a car line to purchase a paper cup of the dubious product that is Tim Hortons coffee? The peak time for lines is often 7.30am onwards when many are going to work. Why, when chances are they have come from home & probably had a pot of coffee brewed, would they want to then line up for a cup of Hortons watery product? There's always been the blurb about being traditionally Canadian. Until recent times that wasn't actually the case as the parent company were the same lot that owns the Wendys hamburger chain. |
Re: Tim Horton's as a selling point?!
It is a conditioned thing from when they are little and onwards. My sister who came to Canada and never ping ponged like me, is truly Canadian. Her and her hubby have been taking the kids to timmies since they were babies, their eldest was allowed his 1st "double double" - I was doing the whole :huh::blink::rolleyes::rolleyes::rofl: thing. At least I held my tongue and did not say ..."GET A LIFE"
We have a beautiful coffee bar at home, it makes espressos, cappo's, lattes, has a froffer and makes drip coffee or tea, it grinds the beans when it makes the drinks. I love it to be honest and i have been changing the types of bean i buy till i find the ones I like. It has been fun. |
