Please note that there is now a Tim Horton's cup icon as well as a Timbit mascot icon.


That is all.

I must admit however, that the one icon that is keeping me from the Tim Hortons icons is my current.

In Flames > Tim Hortons.

David Swick reported in the Halifax Daily News on September 19, 2003, that Tim Hortons donuts were to be remotely factory-fried and shipped, frozen, to Tim Hortons outlets in Atlantic Canada, where they would then be reheated at the push of a button.

In September 2006, Tim Hortons courted controversy by mandating that employees were not to wear red as part of the Red Fridays campaign by families of the military to show support for Canadian troops.

Disposable cups produced by the company are one of the most common litter items in Canada. Their cups show up as litter in direct proportion to the number of Tim Hortons outlets nearby.

"Tim Horton's does not sell organic coffee, does not sell Fair Trade coffee, and does not disclose the source of its green beans" as quoted from weblog Coffee and Conversation.

In May 2008, the chain came under scrutiny after an employee in London, Ontario was fired for giving away a 16-cent Timbit to a baby.


Sounds like a great place. mischief

I remember that... Craziness.

And Tim Hortons are everywhere so I can understand their cups being littered a lot (even though it says on the cup not to litter.)

Way to edit the wikipedia article to make it sound worse.



David Swick reported in the Halifax Daily News on September 19, 2003, that Tim Hortons donuts were to be remotely factory-fried and shipped, frozen, to Tim Hortons outlets in Atlantic Canada, where they would then be reheated at the push of a button.[43]

In September 2006, Tim Hortons courted controversy by mandating that employees were not to wear red as part of the Red Fridays campaign by families of the military to show support for Canadian troops. Within a few hours, Tim Hortons partially reversed its position and has allowed staff in Ontario stores to wear red ribbons or pins to show support for the wear red on Fridays campaign.[44]

Although litter is not a problem caused by Tim Hortons, it appears to be a problem wherever a franchise is opened up. Disposable cups produced by the company are one of the most common litter items in Canada. Company spokespersons claim that irresponsible customers are the problem, not Tim Hortons. Yet their cups show up as litter in direct proportion to the number of Tim Hortons outlets nearby.[45]

"Tim Horton's does not sell organic coffee, does not sell Fair Trade coffee, and does not disclose the source of its green beans" as quoted from weblog Coffee and Conversation.[46] In 2005, Tim Hortons created a program called the Sustainable Coffee Program; the first program was launched in Guatemala and in 2006 they started programs in Colombia and Brazil.[47] where they are "directly involved with coffee producing communities by providing direct financial assistance for technical training to improve the quantity and quality of coffee produced and assist farmers in getting their coffee to market at the best time and for the best price. Assistance is also provided on environmental management, in both proper farming techniques and reforestation projects, led by Tim Hortons." In addition, Tim Hortons supported schools and sponsored medical clinics in Guatemala.

In May 2008, the chain came under scrutiny after an employee in London, Ontario was fired for giving away a 16-cent Timbit to a baby. An overly-zealous manager was blamed for the incident. The employee was eventually rehired at a different nearby location.[48]

I live about 4 hours from Halifax. Really only takes 1 visit to this region for people to realize why we live here wink .

I didn't read the 'edited' article, or the cleaned up version, except I noted the part about the cup litter.

Yup, because consumer garbage is the fault of the company right?

Let's get on McDonald's case while we're at it for being a dirty company that should be boycotted, because when I lived a block from one their paper bags and cups ended up in my backyard daily from the wind blowing them there.

PS: I greatly disliked McDonald's coffee. Perhaps it depends where you get it, but they serve it for free here from 5am to 8am. sick I won't even drink it then.

So I went to Tim Hortons yesterday, and they have a sign that reads, "Because it's hard to wrap a double double" advertising their holiday gift packages.

I wonder if they'd put aside on of those posters, I'd hang that in my apartment. laugh

Mhm. I worked in a coffee shop (independent place) after University (just after graduation. I needed money while job hunting!) and I hated every moment of it.

Compared to Subway where I worked for a year during University that actually wasn't overly terrible (not that I 'enjoyed' it) that was ridiculously busy.
