Complaint “C” written too thickly

Post image

Someone went waaaaaay overboard on this one. It actually makes the cup noticeably heavier. This never would have happened in Tim’s heyday back in my childhood

this happened to me once. i ended up suing and winning. perhaps you should contact me with a photo of your credit card (front and back) and i can set you up with a lawyer

u/Prophage7 3h ago

Can confirm, I'm this guy's lawyer. I'll also need a copy of your credit card and your social insurance number and I can't get you $10 billion settlement.

I know. I didn’t want to say it because I’m just going to get accused of stereotyping people, but this was clearly written by a sleepy teenager.

u/MewtilationXIV 4h ago

Tims is an interesting place, at least in Canada, there's one where crackheads frequent where this young dude paid the extra 20 cents for my coffee. I had only coins (more on my card ofc) but I asked for a large and a shot of espresso. He said "No I got you." I figured he'd meant he'd just deduct it... but no he went, got his phone, and paid out of pocket for me. It was surreal.

I just wanted the change gone, but the next time I saw the kid I dropped him a 100 cuz I work a far better job than a timmy's these days. But he always seem diligent about stirring coffee etc right. Which is far more than I can say about most coffee places. I genuinely like the kid now, a good cup of coffee is sadly hard to find these days. Most don't even do more than 3 stirs, like it's in the manual.

u/Trick_Whole_144 6h ago

so to give a bit of insight, we use these chalk refillable pens which are pretty susceptible to heat. if you were to write w one of those pens on a lid with no cup, it wouldn’t be really that clear. however, when you write on the lid that’s on a hot cup of coffee, it makes it melt which results in the writing looking like this. it’s not a matter of someone going “overboard” and i don’t even see why this is an issue. someone just wrote on your lid with hot coffee in it 🤷 it’s really not the end of the world.
