Comment:

The following is a comment from a reader that they were unable to post as a comment because they are not a blogger (i did not realize you had to be a member to comment). I am posting it because I think I was a little unfair to the Tim's girls (and I should have known better, since my cousin used to work at Tim's).

Hi there. I found your blog and enjoy reading it.
Since I'm not on Blogger I couldn't leave a comment,
but I wanted to say that I worked at Tim Horton's and
it is not an easy job. I can't speak for other coffee
shops, but we did more than get coffee and donuts.
Aside from the fact that I'd always burn myself with
hot coffee, there were also hot soup and chilli burns,
handling red hot bagels from the toaster, cutting
myself with the sandwhich knife, slippery floors,
heavy lifting, being on my feet all day, plus dealing
with the same idiot customers you have. The morning
coffee rush was not fun. I've been a cashier too,
though at Canadian Tire, so I can sympathize. I know
it's different than a grocery store, but in customer
service we all get the same stuff.
Anyway, love the site and wish non-Blogger members
could post comments.
