Please read the following conversation that I had with a Tim Horton's worker yesterday morning. This guy is living proof, that idiots should never ever procreate. Yah I'm talking to you Hilary and that ugly guy from that "punk" band, and you Paris and whatever Backstreet Boys throwback you're fleecing at the moment, oh and you too Brad and Angie (you may be pretty, but that's all you is).Me: "Can I please have a whole wheat bagel with light cream cheese (lengthy pause as said Tim Horton's lackey stares at cash register), and a large steeped tea with half-milk, half-sugar?"
Nitwit: "Um, what kind of bagel?"
Me: "Whole wheat"
nw: "Toasted with butter?"
Me: "No, toasted with light cream cheese"
Dumbass: "What kind of cream cheese?"
Me: "LIGHT"
Him: "Oh, anything else?"
Me: "The tea?"
Continued blank stare - luckily someone had overheard me say I wanted a tea with half milk, half sugar and had already produced one, thus saving me the trouble of explaining the concepts of "tea", "half", "milk", "sugar", "fill" and "cup" to him.
Finally after several minutes fumbling with the cash register...
Crap for Brains: "That will be $3.26"
I hand him $5.26.
Me: "Um, my change?"
Blank stare...
Me: "Two dollars, you owe me two dollars..."
CforB: "Oh yah..."
That should teach me a lesson - I should make myself a healthy breakfast at home rather than opting for the high calorie bagel, and save myself the agony of having to deal with people who would benefit from a lengthy brain surgery procedure.
Today then I did much better:
Breakfast - whole wheat english muffin, light cream cheese and a slice of tomato
Lunch - Baked Pretzel with honey dijon dip
Dinner - Until now.... various random goodies at a typically dull work function - I don't know how to account for this... so I won't. Sue me.
No exercise today - I feel like a 1,000,000 couch potatoes...

Oh I think you are lacking lady!!!!
Yes we should be betting for something substantial...I am not in Calgary but in Med hat, we go to calgary all the time too, my sister lives there.
You are doing great by the way, it's easy for me to be good when I am home most of the time with the only temptations being what I buy...no unexpected dinners etc like you do...so you are doing awesome!!
Ha ha ha! I can't tell you how many times those idiots have screwed up my order at the drive through. I once asked for a hot chocolate and all I got was a cup of hot water.
i've been sitting on my ass for 3 days now with this damn cold/flu/thing... you can't possibly feel like more of a couch potato than I do. I have forgotten what The Outdoors look like!
oh, and I think Shit for Brains should receive a customer service award.
That's why HE is serving YOU tea for $5.35 per hour.
The guy probably lives on coffee... i'm sure it must do something to your brain cells if you have too much ;) Maybe he is living proof of this?
Was the bagel good though??
I took total offense to everything you've said. I've been a very loyal Tim Hortan's employee for the last 7 years. I have dedicated my life to the company and my customers, and it saddens me greatly that this is how the "general public" see us. Now I know how all those 'Nam vets must have felt...
Woah is anonymous serious or just somneone being funny? If you are serious, shhhh and lighten up; unless it was you, don't take it so personally.
Now then, I don't know what happened but when we were kids (here I go sounding old), we were expected to be smarter and give better customer service.,...sigh, I had a similar run in at Starbucks today and it was with a manager type person....wtf?
Before ww tried to order soup in a breadbowl. Conversation like this...
Me. I'd like a corn chowder in breadbowl.
T.H. . We don't have any breadbowls today.
Me. Maybe you might want to put up a sign to this effect.
T.H. No, we just tell people when we're out.
Me. Okay then, (looking at the poster behind his head) I'll have a Chicken Dijon sandwich.
T.H. We don't have that sandwich anymore. That was last months sandwich.
Me. Maybe you might want to take that poster down then, or turn it over to the blank side and write no more breadbowls today.
T.H. Would you like anything else.
Me. I've given up on the food, so just a black coffee. (give him $5 and I get back change for a $10)
Look at him, look at money, look at him again....
Me. You gave me $5 too much change back.
T.H. Oh, (staring blankly at me while I hand it back - with no thank you if you please)
Me...drank sad cup of coffee and left..have not been back.
