These people are nuts. They'd rather sit in their car on a summer day, than actually take the tiny bit of effort to walk into the restaurant. And, the whole time, their cars are idling, spewing extra pollution into the air...again, up to half hour each, I'd estimate. Heck, I overheard the DQ staff saying they had to remake orders because the ice cream had totally melted by the time the customer could pay for it.

Isn't there laws against idling your cars in Toronto? We need that here in Halifax.

She said, "A coffee with one cream and one sugar."

Black = no cream, no sugar
Regular = 1 cream, one sugar
Double-double = 2 cream, two sugar
Triple-triple = a melted mocha milkshake*
4 Sugar, black = a hot can of cola*

What do you call it if you take one sugar and two cream, or two sugar and one cream?

A nightmare. That's how I like my joe (my motto: "it's the cream that makes coffee a meal"), but most Tim's employees hear "single sugar, double cream" as "double sugar, single cream". Or else they do that thing that only Tim's employees do where they take that big soup spoon and, beginning at shoulder height, swoop it down into a huge bowl of sugar in one swift motion, like a forest-fire plane picking up a load of water, and deposit it in your coffee, resulting in something sweeter than icing.

The nearest Tim Horton's is like 45 minutes away...

I could walk to any of a dozen Timmie's within 45 minutes.

I believe you could walk to any number in 45 minutes but I have no desire to walk in the hot sun to Lethbridge singing "straw hat and old dirty hanky".

The beauty of Tims coffee is that its not bitter. I just get two creams, no sugar, in a large. Considering its "extra-caffinated" - the reason its so addictive - I couldn't handle sugar as well.

The coffee is what's saving Tim Horton's right now. Their food line is going down the toilet.

I miss the old drive-in restaurants, though. Nothing like eating food that hangs from a car window.

[ed.] Oh yeah, this is about line-ups. I'm shocked and stuned whenever I see twenty cars lining up so their drivers can eat McDonalds swill. Eating the stuff is bad enough, but waiting in line, passively, like moss..for the priveledge of poisoning oneself.

I don't get it.
