It’s a donut shop. Not bad at all. But mostly the issue I have is that people are trying to be all nostalgie de la boue by playing Tim’s off against Starbucks, pretending that it’s more Canadian, less corporate, and less pretentious. But by doing so they are of course being brand snobs themselves. As Miss Manners has said, there’s no pretension like the pretension of those who aspire to the lower classes.

I think we might have one. I’ll have to look it up. It seems like I wandered into one before.

Being a soy latte is sort of like being a limp dick…pale, powerless, weak, no punch.

Tim Horton’s? Isn’t that a chain diner?

Ha, ha, Metro’s a soy latte. No doubt with sugar-free vanilla, and half-caf.

Tim Horton’s isn’t really that good; it’s not that bad, but it’s not that good. No sense getting pretentious about coffee brands, right?

I agree the quiz is the most fuckt I’ve ever posted. And I speak as a cafe employee of more than a decade’s experience, a four-shot, half-caf, 2%, half sweet on both hazelnut mocha, easy whip.
