I was sure I was going to win the brand spankin' new Toyota Matrix, or maybe even that boat. Hell, I would've been happy to win a donut; but sadly I got the ever so defeating "Please Try Again".
Tim Horton's Rrrrrrrrrrrroooooollllllll up the Rrrrriiiiim to Win (RRW) is back on and it means people are craving to settle their caffeine addictions at an even more remarkable pace than usual. I know Tim Horton's is known for having ridiculously long lineups at those peak hours of the day, but RRW fever has people lining up at all hours of the day. The Tim Horton's near our university library is as popular as ever, but it is here where I find my qualm.
During RRW season, Tim Horton's insists on giving customers a second cup with their hot drink purchase; one normal cup, the other an RRW cup. They also tend to do this from time to time during non-RRW season, but right now it is far more apparent that the customer has two cups. Tim Horton's will claim that this is to protect the customer from the dangers of the "very hot" beverage, which may be important to some. My problem is that they use a second cup to do this.
If you didn't know, Tim Horton's hot drinks cups are non-recyclable, which in this day and age is becoming quite the no-no. So rather than giving you something to protect your hands from the drink that can be recycled, they give you a second wasteful cup. Come on Tim, step it up. Even Starbucks gives out those little cardboard sleeves, which do tend to work quite nicely.
And one other thing: stop with those stupid little in-house ads about being environmentally aware. Giving people re-usable coffee mugs rather than 'to-go' cups when they're drinking in the restaurant is nothing new; look at every other non-chain coffee shop in the world. So stop patting yourselves on the back for being environmentally conscious; you're just making fools of yourselves.
Should we not have been able to use of technological praless to finally design a coffee cup that doesn't burn our fingers off?

They should have a debit machine too...that would be sweet. Oh and a play structure
A debit machine I can agree with, but a play structure? here Chris has a reasonable argument, commenting on the dangers of burning your fingers... I think a play structure will just increase that risk.
what are you talking about? you can totally hide from rapists and brown people in a play structure, its a child's castle of protection
A website once reported that play structures were the breeding sites for rapists, how do you explain that? Is that the environment you want our children raised in? not to mention the herpes that build up in those tunnels, and the slide/tunnels.
wow...seriously? someone needs to close down these tim hortons.....this is disturbing, I'm getting my coffee from Robins Donuts from now on, I don't care if there's mud in it
You ever notice that Robins Donuts is an anagram for "Nitrous bonds?"
makes you wonder what they put in the coffee...
Hey and Chris Ferguson-Martin is an anagram for Hair Nerf, Suson C. Gritm
..makes you wonder
