I go to Tims because it tastes the same and the menu is the same. XL regular just tastes the same almost every time (except the Tims on Center st up around 40th N).
Since there are so many franchises, it's easy to just find one that's close and go get what I'm used to. Sort of like when I want breakfast I go to McDicks. Not A&W, not BK, only McDonalds.
It's not a snob thing, it's a familiarity thing. Nobody is trying to convince anyone that Tims has "the BEST" coffee. It's just habit. Sometimes I stop at Petro, sometimes I stop at Macs. In those cases, the coffee is just as mediocre, often more expensive, and I have to prepare it myself... So why not go to Tims and sit in the drive thru for 5 minutes and surf CP? Or just run inside if I'm in a hurry?

I think it's hilarious how much the haters hate Tims. It takes just as long at most places anyway. Yeah there are sometimes biiiig lines at Tims, but it just as usual to see a big line at Petro or at McDonalds. Or Starbucks.
