Tim Hortons trouble brewing: customer scolded over food for homeless woman

By The Canadian Press

TORONTO - A brouhaha over breakfast for a homeless woman has put Tim Hortons on the defensive again, the latest in a series of public-relations black eyes for the Canadian coffee giant.


A woman in Toronto ran afoul of a downtown Tim Hortons outlet Wednesday morning after buying breakfast for a homeless woman. An employee was reportedly unhappy the homeless woman stayed in the coffee shop to eat, telling the Good Samaritan - investment manager Teresa Lee - that homeless people "make a mess."

1. Tim Horton's

is now Wendy's, which I suspect is part of the problem.

I no longer go there; they tend to kick you out if you want to read your paper and wait for your appt., which was why I usually ended up there.

3. Maybe it depends on the local management, my daughter and her friends go there all the

time just to drink a coffee and talk, usually for several hours.

2. this sucks

but businesses reserve the right to deny service to anyone for any reason.
