i feel like they don't have the 'steeped tea' at every location. or they do and my skepticism about it has caused me to ignore it's existence! i tend to just get earl grey, which is yr regular tea bag in hot(ish) water. now i really feel a need to roll up the rim. and eat a chocolate glazed donut. ohman.
xpare there more tim hortons in vancouver now? i remember there being not many at all in the city proper, but further out, yes. which is sad when all you want is a chocolate glazed.
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 19:14 (thirteen years ago) link
(its, not it's, existence, of course)
There are tons in Vancouver now. There's one on Commercial Dr, several downtown. One on the corner of Main/Broadway, there's a drive-thru on Terminal near the skytrain, one next to the library etc. Pretty much everywhere. All in the last 3 or 4 years.
― everything, Tuesday, 22 February 2011 19:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Looked at their website. Looks like 25 locations in Vancouver with about half downtown.
― everything, Tuesday, 22 February 2011 19:17 (thirteen years ago) link
There are too many of them. I work in Royal Centre and there are two of them in the building. I've gained so much weight since I moved here. x-post

yeah me too. I got into the habit of having two breakfast sandwiches and a cup of tea for breakfast pretty regularly. That was costing less than $5. I put on about 10 lbs in 6 months. I gave that shit up now.

Worst thing for me has been moving from a place with deplorable public transit (Winnipeg) to a place with fantastic public transit. I walk a fraction of what I used to walk.

There was some community resistance to the one on Commercial Drive, taking business away from the older Italian joints or the hipster hangouts with "good" coffee. Locally respected fringe ranter Kevin Potvin kept writing about it in his paper which was kind of the last straw for me, in terms of picking it up. First point is that there is NOWHERE on Commercial Drive that sells doughnuts apart from Tims. I've got a right to eat what I like even if it is fried dough. The second point is that Tims makes coffee available for the really poor folks on the Drive, since their coffee is about $1.40 rather than $2.30 a cup, which is approx what everyone else sells it for. Third point is, can't you take your anti-corporate rant to some of the other big businesses on the Drive, of which there are many. EG. when was the last time anyone took down HR Block. I'm sure there's a lot of independent tax accountants that hate those guys.

Timmie's is my favourite but now I need to drink coffee with soy instead of regular milk and none of their store stocks it; breaks my heart.
Was with Grandma, who was 1:1 yesterday! Free coffee right off the start.

2 for 13 (2nd coffee just now). They're fuckin' lucky. Of course there aren't any Country Styles here in Vancouver. I wonder if Duffin's would accept the please play agains? I should try just for fun.

― Bryan, Tuesday, 8 March 2011 16:42 (thirteen years ago) link
is that really what you think of me Bryan? i'll admit that i sometimes put real vanilla in real coffee, but those things are grossly oversweet - only rarely drinkable if diluted by half with coffee (apparently my one time recommendation of the Kriek beer has tarnished my taste rep for all time?!)

They seem unable to make a cup of tea without pouring fucking sugar into it and about half a pint of milk. Also the breakfast sandwiches etc have taken a turn towards McDonalds quality, the donuts are way too sweet and Timbits have always tasted like crap.

The thing is, who goes to Timmy's for quality, right?
Every time I've gone it's been out of convenience or for "Aw, fuck it, I don't feel like thinking of where to eat" reasons.

Also: I think the whole two-chances-to-win thing is a ruse. The odds are supposed to be 1 in 6. I'd estimate I've bought 30-40 coffees the past month, and I've won three times--1 in 12, maybe (ignoring that it's 1 in 24 if you count each cup twice). I don't know how to do the math, but my guess is that the probability of a 1/6 event happening 1/12 times over 35 trials is low. I'm forwarding this post to Oliver Stone.

Going through the drive-through a few minutes ago, I got a "Congratulations" as I handed over a free-coffee scrap. First time that's ever happened. Appreciated, but not really necessary--and I felt very little joy as the transaction was completed.
