What's with Tim Hortons?

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
I cannot believe that people queue up in the drive thru (intentional spelling mistake) for at least 5 minutes and order a cup of coffee? I think it's a North American thing, a *drive thru* coffee & donut shop would never take off in the UK.

I think the only good thing about TH is the sausage and cheese breakfast biscuit - which is really good but could do with being twice the size!
However I think the coffee tastes like dishwater, and I can't understand why people rave about it.
Can't comment on the doughnuts, don't like them.

Re: What's with Tim Hortons?
I am not a coffee drinker. I don't get what it is about Tim Horton's. The kids who work there always get your order wrong. Mind you sometimes I get a muffin for my granddaughter and after we drive away, we discover there are actually two muffins in the bag and I only paid for one!
A friend of mine suggested that they put "something" in the coffee. This is owing to the fact that we were discussing the HUGE line ups. It doesn't seem to matter what time of the day or night you pass TH - there is a huge line up. At the store near me it was fine because TH was one side of the roadway thing and there was nothing the other side. Now they have built one of those mini-malls the other side and you can't drive through there because the driveway between TH and the mini mall is totally full of those idiots lining up for their coffee.
Mind you, there is a Robins just across the street and that is never lined up. I think its a yuppy thing. I am positive Robins' coffee is just as good as TH if not better, its just TH is the trendy place to go.

Drinking their coffee is the opposite to eating a Big Mac.
While eating a Big Mac I think it tastes great immediately after eating a Big Mac I think it was revolting. However with TH coffee while drinking it I think is it pretty average and after the taste leaves me wanting more Go figure
I do like their plain old fashioned dough nut and the Ham and Cheese Biscuit (more like a scone for non North Americans) can taste really good too!

Yes but the difference is people don't specifically queue up for just a cup of coffee at McD's, they normally get a meal at the same time.
I just don't get it? why would I waste time queing up at a drive thru coffee shop on my way to work to buy a coffee when we have a perfectly good coffee machine at work?
Like I said, it's a N.American versus British culture thing.
