I haven't gone to a Tim Hortons since they took away employee breaks and benefits. It's a matter of principle, when your brand wears Canada on its sleeve as a marketing tool, you HAVE to treat employees properly. Throwing a pissy little hissy fit when the minimum wage inches closer to the standard of living, at the expense of your billion dollar bottom line? Nah du, I'll take my money elsewhere.

You failed to mention that before the wage hike, most employees at the 2 locations were making FAR more than minimum wage. They received bonus benefits with that large wage too (paid day off for their birthday, paid day off every 6 months if they showed up for every shift, 100% drug plan and dental). Removing their paid breaks and these bonus benefits is still within board and they are still providing more breaks than required by the Employment Standards Act of 2000; they are well within their rights as employers to do so.

I've never understood the love and loyalty many Canadians have for Tim Hortons, the food and beverages they offer range from mediocre to awful. Interiors are depressing. Now a slap in the face to their employees. I see the empire slowly shrinking, first the international locations will fold then some Canadian ones. God willing.

The issue is far greater than the location owner. Problem is there are simply too many locations. Each location doesn't make that much but overall the company rakes in the dough. There is no way to fix other than government intervention, which I don't support or letting the market dictate. If you don't support the decision stop spending your money there. The company will adapt or die

Tim Horton's and others like McDonalds are actually in the real estate business. Its like farming, only they work that land in their respective service. When no longer profitable sell! Location, location, location. The missing part to the minimum wage story is the subsidies deal that has been penned with this company in regards to new arrivals. People are not following the money far enough.

Tim Hortons lost me when they closed their store bakeries down and ruined their donuts. I never was a fan of their coffee. I do remember when they were a good Canadian change of stores. Back in '87 when I was pregnant and had cravings for whip cream, my local Tim Hortons would slice open and fill any doughnut I wanted with whip cream. Any time of the night or day.

Wage debate aside. I haven't gone to a Tim's in years as the quality of the beverages and food slowly dropped while the prices went up. At a certain point somethings gotta give... Except for the name that company hasn't been Canadian for a long time. I still roll my eyes when people claim it to be the same old Canadian staple...no its changed and so have I.
