Ten Reasons why I hate Tim Hortons
1. The standard brown box format is plopped down with no regard for the surrounding neighbourhood. eg. Concession street. Starbucks and Second Cup try to make their buildings fit into the street. eg Second Cup Westdale
2. Drive thrus are more important than people who park and/or walk to the store.
3. No debit machines
4. Caffeine and sugar is not healthy
5. Catering to vehicles wraps the buildings in a constant queue of idling cars, pedestrian have to pass through these sometimes moving cars to enter and exit.
6. Drive thrus cause unnecessary pollution. They really aren't needed. Their existance demands use.
7. started in Hamilton but head office is in Oakville
8. creates hazards on the roads, drivers loose their minds deciding if they want a coffee and can't pass a Tims without slowing down and making erratic turns.
9. dirty washrooms, generic interior
10. rude staff
