The Bookish Girl

Dear Tim Hortons,

Dear Tim Hortons,


I like you, I really do.  You are on the right side of the street as I travel to work.  Your cinnamon buns are fan-freaking-tasktic.  You are inexpensive and most of the time your coffee isn’t half bad.  Your staff is typically friendly and a bit goofy. 

However, for the love of all things holy PLEASE use a different top for your to-go coffees.  PLEASE.  The flat lid plastic is horrible, very bad, and just wrong.  It cuts my lip, it is unpleasing to my senses, me hates it.  PLEASE invest in dome coffee lids, pretty please, with coffee on top?!

Love,

Bookish Wendy

    amen! i love timmys, but ALL their lids stink (including the one they use for iced coffee, which allows for extreme drippage on my clothes all summer)

    not only do their regular lids cut lips, etc, i inevitably get coffee splashes on my glasses b/c it NEVER stays in place.

    hate them.

    I’ve only gotten to experience the Tim Hortons once or twice when I was visiting Toronto a few years back. It was pretty good coffee (especially compared to the brewed Starbucks, which is scarily starting to grow on me). I wish that there was one around Boston, because a really top notch cinnamon roll sounds perfect right about now.
