I Must be the only Canadian that dislikes Tim Hortons ... i do't mind the coffee or the food or stuff ... I just been treated terribly with the bad service long enough that it turned me off of everything about them. and the way Canadians go on about Tim Hortons .. blah McDonalds for grown ups... "OH LOOK THERE'S A TIMMY'S LETS STOP"

Well, these are people who aren't at 'home' and Tim Horton's is a Canadian institution - so it's a little piece of home that makes them happy.

Happy Canadians with their coffee/doughnuts/sandwiches.

I was trying to explain the "goo-goo ga ga-ness" of Tim Hortons at work the other day and no one understood. They kept trying to find something comparable.

"Oh like krispy kreme?"

I'd say no.

"Like dunkin donuts?"

I'd say no again.

I can't explain it but it's just a Canadian thing. I came from a town of 16,000 and in that town there were 7 Tim Hortons and every morning there would be a long line up at each of them. It's almost like a Canadian sub culture. I don't drink more than 1 cup of coffee a day down here. But when I go home... I drink at least 2 or 3 and daily trips to Tim Hortons are not unheard of.

It's like coming to the Canada Forum!

The only way to explain it is like kids in the car when they see a mcdonalds sign ... its like oh mcdonalds can we go can we go can we go ... I've seen adults in canada who cannot drive past a tim hortons without stopping ...i've even seen adults yell at the kids and say "we don't need to stop at every mcdonalds just because we pass it " then 3 seconds later " oh a tim hortons lets stop and get a coffee"... pffftt ... I can say sure a little reminder of home .. but people in canada don't need a reminder of canada and thats where it starts ...

I actually modified what I originally wrote.... it was along this vein.

One thing that bothered me BIG TIME when i lived in canada was all the people from somewhere else saying things like .. at home we did things like this and that and this was better and that was great and we had better this and that .. kinda made me think to myself grrr go back home then if you don't like it here .. so always told myself that i would never act like that when i moved here. But i myself do not see the whole big tim horton love .. it's not whiney it's just .. well darn it it's just coffee hahaha

Thats fine if you don't like something, and I'm all for free speech. But why come into a post and then cut down people that do like something!! I just don't understand people. Guess some prefer the negative in life.

[Sprailenes 47]

Do you like hockey RYCK? Do you like curling?

Those are also things that Canadians go "go-go gah gah" over. Its a matter of culture and people tend to attach themselves to their culture. Now that many of us have left our homes behind, it excites us to have a little piece of home close by.
