Amazed at the Timmies hate. I'm guessing you Starbucks aficionados must drink your coffee black. (Yike.) I can't do that, no matter whose coffee it is: it'd bounce.
I remember the one and only time I had a Starbucks. Somebody offered to buy me a coffee and I wondered how long the lineup must be at the Tim's across the lot, given they were gone getting that coffee for a half an hour. Imagine my surprise when they came back with Starbucks. Hey, they must like me, I thought, to spend that kind of coin on me. They don't call it Fourbucks for nothing.
Then I took a sip.
"I think they messed this up", I said, sheepishly. "Did you ask for a double-double? Because this tastes black."
'No, that's two sugars, two creams", I was told. I went upstairs, dumped a huge dollop of milk and a bunch of sugar in, then tried it again. It STILL tasted black and burnt. Down the sink it went. I felt guilty for wasting their money (and so much of it)...and then I told myself, if they'd just gone to Timmies like normal people, there'd be no problem...
Sorry, that sounded snotty. It's just that I have had to put up with YEARS of Starbucks people staring down their nose at me because I'm addicted to the creamy sweet goodness of a Tim's double-double.
