The seemingly terminal decline of Tim Hortons

Next time you are in Cobourg, check out the indie coffee shops. There are some good ones.

Was in Cobourg yesterday on a 500 km ride with my motorcycle mates. Due to claims of staff shortages the in-restaurant was closed, forcing us to walk through the drive through.

Interestingly as we sat out front there was a steady stream (no pun indented) of seniors wanting to use the toilets, and left wanting. Clearly that’s a core Tim’s demographic, geriatric urine.

I did that once as a child at my doctors office. I almost drank a jar of urine before my doctor grabbed it from me in horror.

I was so young at the time I didn't know any better and thought it was apple juice.

When I was 8, I bit into a dog biscuit my friend had handed to me to pass to her dog. I guess I was subliminally prepared for it to be no worse than a Tim Hortons product...

Any downtown? I used to go there often, but not much in recent years.

port Hope and just opened in Cobourg.

We had an excellent lunch at the http://thebuttermilkcafe.com/ across from city hall.

Yes. Longtime Cobourg favourite.

When did Timbits become just four types? Chocolate, birthday cake, honey crooler and plain.

I noticed it a long time ago when they started to renovate their stores.

I always assumed it had to do with the size of the stores. Alot of the newer stores simply don't have the space for a larger selection of products.

This isn't the 1990s where they had space for cakes, pies and racks of donuts built into the wall behind the counter.

From my perspective; Tim's is already the walking dead........

But, I now feel the urge to nail the Zombie's coffin shut.

Hilariously lame corporate marketing.

Also, sour cream chocolate chip sounds completely disgusting.

Kind of fitting that they had someone gross announcing these gross flavours. Tasteless all around.

100% - who ever even considered that hack Justin Bieber cool other than teenage girls in 2010 (never mind now)?
