Of course it is. It's the fast food of coffee joints. I don't go there for the service, I go for the coffee.lookingforitallthetime said:My experience has been worse service at Hoton's.

If you're expecting good service from a coffee joint, give yer head a shake. It's a cup of coffee. Those clerks deserve every penny just for putting up with the volume of customers that they service for the rate of pay they receive. I don't even expect a smile.
In Toronto, many if not most of the staffers are imports from South America. And if I were them, I wouldn't be putting up with any shit from some middle class Canadian yuppie-wannabe who thinks they're better than the staffers just b/c they're serving coffee.
And soon you will end up at "Far Coast", the coffee chains sprung up with Godfathers of consumerism, the people of Coca Cola. If you are in GTA, then there is one at Bloor & University right across the Starbucks.lookingforitallthetime said:Why don't you chill out there Keebler and have a cup of coffee.
I was replying to this post by saliksalik who commented on Starbucks service:

If you're going to get jazzed up over someone's preference for coffee, go ahead. You're only making yourself look like a jackass. I couldn't give 2 shits what kind of coffee you or anyone else prefers.
Terbevore said:I quite like the coffee at Tim Hortons although I do occasionally see inconsistency in product quality. However, and rather sadly, I avoid a number of Hortons outlets in downtown Toronto because they have beggars holding open their doors who ask for change. In some locations, one door of a set of double-doors is locked and you have to squeeze by the "doorman" to get in and out. I have also seen a precipitous increase in begging inside the stores. I have contacted the customer relations department of Tim Hortons, but they don't seem to care. I never see beggars holding doors open and / or begging inside any other coffee facility. It is my opinion that sooner or later this will erode their image and customer base.
Does everything in life need to be pre packaged and homogenized. Enjoy a little variety in your coffee and you life.Keebler Elf said:Whenever I get my coffee, I always ask for one cream and one sugar. For some mysterious reason, whenever a certain staff person makes my coffee, there is less cream in it and it appears "blacker."
From what I understand, the staffers just press the cream button once for each cream a customer has asked for, so how is it that my one-cream coffee is never the way I want it only when this particular staffer makes it? I could understand if I was asking for two creams and only got one, but I'm not getting it black but it's also not the normal one-creamer.
WTF!?! Is there some trick I'm missing???

You can get the same taste if you just put a fistful of mud in hot water.lookingforitallthetime said:Spend 50 cents more for a Starbucks.
The coffee is 10 times better and you put in your own cream and sugar.
Thanks Mom.lookingforitallthetime said:Why don't you chill out there Keebler and have a cup of coffee.
My friend,Keebler Elf said:Neither could I.
LMAO. This is another classic example of the Canadian inferiority complex. How pathetic.saliksalik said:My friend,
when you participate in a social forum like this Lounge, at Terb, you disclose your dependence on others. Either for being recognized as a peer or to impose your superiority.
I am glad that many here recognize each others as equal social peer, and hence they care as to what kind of Java you take.
That is what all simple Joes do. That is the Canadian way of life. And that is why Timmy is popular despite being gobbled up by the US interests.
Viva le Timmy, Viva la Canada.
Cheers.
YUCK!lookingforitallthetime said:Spend 50 cents more for a Starbucks.

It really comes down to a question of personal tatse doesn't it? Judging by the number of Starbucks patrons I see, I'm not alone.Robocock said:YUCK!
Their coffee is so burnt and harsh you can use it as a TAR SEALER!
Starbucks coffee does taste burnt.... their regular grind is "extra roasted" for that flavour.lookingforitallthetime said:It really comes down to a question of personal tatse doesn't it? Judging by the number of Starbucks patrons I see, I'm not alone.
At any rate, I'm sure the coffee Nazis on the board will be happy to hear from you.

Because I prefer the taste of Starbucks to Tim Horton's I'm a yuppie wannabe, a bad Canadian and a social elitist. That's too funny.
TIM HORTON'S COFFE SUCKS!
Viva la Starbucks, viva la social elite!
Now get a life jackass.
