tim hortons is gross
Tim's is weird. I can stomach it if ive been in Canada for a few weeks but if you leave to travel a bit and come back home. You're first Tim Horton's taste the way I think feet would taste. I always chuck my first couple until my taste buds get dulled again |

I'm actually pretty happy I stopped drinking coffee 6 months ago. I can actually feel confident ordering in Tim Hortons now. Their English Breakfast isn't too bad and I don't have to deal with coffee snobs at Starbucks anymore.
BTW, I really don't mind if they try to make me gay, because I used to get a few free orders out of it in the process. All about dat flirting yo. |

In Etobes I am the man! I get free tim horton's by my old highschool. All the old ghetto girls who used to have small crushes on me work at those to feed their young half white/black babies Boston cream donuts for cheap. Also i got my young college girls at the starbucks by here. They give me the hook up from time to time.
Not as good as my theiving white hoes in etobes though! |

| :haha: Nice. I used to love getting free coffee by just batting my eyes and carrying on a conversation; regardless of the gender and/or my sexual orientation. It sounds shallow as hell, and it definitely is lol, but whateva... this is TA, the land of no shame. |

Well, to be fair, your simple and basic order is very RARE there. They deal with coffee snobs that order a "nonfat decaf grande caramel mocha, no cream, 3 packs of Splenda" and if they mess it up, the customers get all bitchy. A "grande latte" could mean anything. :stongue:

As has already been stated, a coffee snob (I prefer aficionado) would not order those beverages. What you describe and much of what people get at Starbucks or any similar "coffee" bar are not coffee beverages, they are milk beverages that contain coffee as one of the ingredients.
Moreover, an actual coffee snob would only go to Starbucks as an absolute last resort, as Starbucks does not provide good coffee. All Starbucks' coffee is mass roasted, left on shipping docks for days, shipped across the continent, left on docks a few more days while being moved from train to truck or truck to truck, before it actually gets to the store... it might as well be maxwell house by that point. Real coffee snobs go to small cafes that roast their own beans, order their coffee direct from a local roaster, or roast there own beans at home. If you think Starbucks is good coffee then you haven't had good coffee. |
