Obviously it has its time and place (and in small town Alberta you dont really have a lot of options), but there woudn't be such a cultish demand for Tim Hortons is if it was all about just about convenience and price. McDonalds is just as convenient and cheap (hell, its often free!) as TH is, and it's not as popular with people here. I really doubt all the Crossovers lined up for 15 minutes at the Westhills TH location at 8am, are all hardworking construction guys just looking for a break.
