6. The advertising makes me cringe...

...but, I like them for their "sausage biscuit", their HOS, their proximity and association with Co-op service stations, their IcedCap was the first and still the best on the market, and their chili is easy to digest. They have a large enough choice of doughnuts for me if that was all I was interested in like some kind of coffee break thingy.

As somebody else mentioned, they do rely on unskilled entry level workers, foreign or domestic and my area that means a lot of first nations kids who, to my chagrin don't conform to the high standards I expect of the service industry. They don't seem to realize the hurry I'm in....

I'm thinking that their advertising agency should forget about trying to hide the actual Tim Horton. If they want to succeed in the U.S. market they should present Tim as he really was....a hard drinking thug. What could be more American?
