I think people who buy Timmy's doughnuts are just doing it out of convenience.

It's like McDonalds... It's not that they make a great burger, it's because it's convenient.

^Or laziness.

I'm not kidding you, I'm a donut fanatic, to the point my gf makes fun of me.

Tim Horton's donuts are plain and simple wasted calories.

For years I bemoaned the lack of donut options in Vancouver as opposed to our friends down south in Seattle/Portland (back in the day my donut heaven).

Nowadays there's more and more options in Vancouver when it comes to snagging a good ass donut. If you're partaking in a donut a few times a month, it's not hard to hit up a good spot with a decent deep fried morsel.

Like I said, if you're going to give yourself diabetes, high cholesterol, why bother stuffing down such a mediocre plain jane run-of-the-mill donut like one from Tim Horton's?

The comparison to McDonald's is wrong. McDonald's has a unique tasting burger and fries that you won't find anywhere else. I'd say convenience is less of a reason people go there (there's fast food spots everywhere), nostalgia is the real reason.

There’s not much in Burnaby etc. in terms of donuts but that’s not to say you can’t satisfy your sweet tooth in another way lol

One day was bored at work and had a little craving for a donut so went to Tim hortons and got a 10 pack of timbits. Half way through them I was like Jesus Christ Tim hortons, you even manage to fuck up donuts eh?

^FYI Soon Coffee in Brentwood Mall carries Lee's donuts. An option for ya here in Burnaby.

Except decent donuts are like $3-4 each ... damn, it's suppose to be a snack, like a $1-$2 snack at the most.

Man, I fucking love McDonalds. Nothing beats their fries. Costco ones come second.

mcd fries are only great when they are hot and fresh.

I do like McD and I just had it today. I really only eat their chicken and qtr pounder though.

McDs and Tims are both crap, but at least Tims doesn't make me feel sick afterwards. Granted I don't like donuts either so fancy ones or Timmies ones are all meh to me.

Speaking of McD and doughnuts, I haven't even tried their Lil donuts. Looks like Tim Bits wannabes. There has been numerous promotions for them on the McD app and coupons but never got around to trying them. Are they as crappy as Timmies?

^Worse, don't even bother with em.

Bought a bag when they first came out, had to throw them out, couldn't even finish one.

that's weird i had a half dozen few weeks ago and thought they were better than timmy's. mind you i don't eat a lot of sweets/pastries so sugar is a treat for me.

i'd eat them over timbits tbh

Completely different topic, anyone know whats a good price/place for seasonal wheel/tire storage? See ads from dealerships and places like Kaltire etc about it but imagine they're more interested in customers that bought the wheels/tires from them...

i recall my friend used this service, i think kal tire it was ~$100-150/year i think, but he also bought his tires from there, and paid to have them swapped over as well so not sure if that was the price for using the full extent of their services.

My bro had his stored at the VW dealer on Main. No idea how much it costed, saves the hassle of storing it at your garage and bringing them to dealer to mount during turnover season, I guess.

anyone can recommend a cheap tow guy to tow a Land rover disco within Richmond?

TIA

$100, maybe less cheap enough?

won't BCAA tow?
membership starts at around $120/year for 4 tows no?

i haven't been a member for over 5 years so my data may be outdated :lol

will bcaa tow no registration?

I've never had them actually check

no idea, any time i used them they just checked my ID to ensure i'm the member in question, but my cars were all plated and insured so maybe they knew i was gtg.

probably best to call customer service and clarify & also check on pricing.

another person, young person, falling for obvious and dumb scam...
stupidity to the max
Big company like Aritzia, instead of dealing directly with office equipment supplier, will send you a cheque, and have you pay for it, in EMT, not credit card... r u serious?
Bank gave her money back, when it's 1000% her fault....

Imagine being so naïve to fall for this and then being even more naïve to publicize it to a national audience.

I watched the video so how does scam work? It looks like:

1. Fake company sends girl an etransfer of ~ $3K
2. Then she buys office equipment & notebook (how? To Staples, Bestbuy, or computer store?),
3. Then she finds out her etransfer from fraud company bounced.
4. Office equipment store doesn't honour her order because she didn't have balance to cover?

So how does original fake company/scammer benefit from that?

1. Fake company "hires" person
2. Fake company sends person fake cheque to "buy" equipment via etransfer to another fake company
3. Person buys equipment by sending etransfer
4. Fake cheque bounces and person is now out the etransfer amount

Scammer benefits because they are both fake companies.
