These job cuts follow Target and IBM job cuts. Also, the oil patch and their feeder industries are laying off people left and right.It is only the speed that might be surprising.
And while those in the head office likely saw it coming, it is still very sad for them.
And with it their much hyped Canadian identity as worst tasting burger chain spreads their own US based management on what was a proud Canadian company.Tim Horton's to cut hundreds of jobs.
Depends if he was paid in US or Canadian funds.Wonder if Ron Joyce would buy it back. Wonder what he thinks about it all now.
Anybody that is into coffee would agree it is bad. That's why it is also easy for me to avoid them. Second Cup has way better coffee and is Canadian so we should all go there instead!If Canadian had any backbone, they would boycott Tim Horton's right now. That would send a message. Doesn't affect me since I have been boycotting them for a while now. Crappy coffee.
Roger that. Doing that for a while now actually. Brewing my own for almost a year nowIf Canadian had any backbone, they would boycott Tim Horton's right now. That would send a message. Doesn't affect me since I have been boycotting them for a while now. Crappy coffee.
I grew up in Hamilton - Timmy's is part of my identity. I grew up close to the first Tim Horton's location (which is a museum now apparently).If Canadian had any backbone, they would boycott Tim Horton's right now. That would send a message.

Mitt Romney would be proud.3G capital did the same slash and burn to Burger King when it was acquired. Franchise owners better watch out. They're about to feel the pain.
Why would a Franchise owner be in trouble if their business is good? The news showed that some locations are hiring.3G capital did the same slash and burn to Burger King when it was acquired. Franchise owners better watch out. They're about to feel the pain.

I've been saying I'd boycott but I don't want to hurt the franchise owners or employees. I don't spend nearly as much as I once did at Tim's now (I used to drive to the closest location for a bagel and a French Vanilla daily for breakfast - even on my days off for reasons I no longer comprehend lol... Additionally I purchased multiple steeped teas daily and regularly grabbed sandwhiches and soups. I could happily live off of Timmy's food. I realized that I'm a good cook so all that ended but I was a bigtime customer for a long time lol....) but if I'm at a corner (like Yonge and College), and I have the option of Tim's, Starbucks, or Second Cup... I will go to Second Cup, (just like I consciously choose other businesses bc they are Canadian-based). I've always been a Second Cup fan but even moreso now.
Though Tim's was owned by Wendy's for awhile, it was more palatable than the current situation.
