But, you bore me. Now go away.....and take your mom.

[HOOT]

The simple fix would just be using something like they do to grab the donuts to lay over the lid when pressing down.

Sigh, the only illogical thinking is your own. If you're going to condone the way things are run at Tim Hortons why continue to go there? That is illogical behavior. It's not as if there isn't plenty of alternatives to Tim Horton's, no one is making you buy their coffee but you. My suggestion to you is that don't waste your time (and the members of this board) complaining about something you plan to do nothing about. Also.,again, please refrain from using such childish insult. It not only makes you look foolish but reflects poorly on the forum entirely.

I wish I could click the 'BOO' button (rather than the 'thanks' button).

I consider Tim Horton's a close friend of mine!

Pullleeeze.....nobody forces me to drink Tims, and nobody forces you or anybody to read my posts. As far as childish insults, you were borderline trolling. If your gonna do that, don't be so thin skinned. It was a joke. Get over it. Out.

My pet peeve:

I just don't understand why they don't put a garbage can next to the door in ALL public washrooms. I always grab the door handle with a paper towel in my hand and then throw the paper in the garbage can (if there is one that is) after opening the door. Way too many people out there who don't wash their hands after using the toilet or urinal.... or if they do wash.. its just a quick rinse under the running water... no soap.... like that does any good.

I'm one of the guys who finds a piece of candy on the floor, wonders how long it's been there, then pops it in my mouth. So I can't say germs really bother me. I certainly can't be too concerned about some other dude's hands touching my coffee lid.

[Dogbert]

Buy a travel mug. You can keep the lid while they're filling it and put it on yourself.

That's hilarious, what are you, part German Shepherd?
Different strokes for different folks I guess. I wish I was less concerned about germs, I imagine it's a little less stress!

I agree with you 100%. I am a clean person. But in this case I just throw the paper towel on the floor where the garbage can should be. Eventually they will figure it out. Won't they?

The alleged "Costa Rica" packet of nastiness is the only one I can tolerate. Milky Way Chocachino? Umm, no thanks.

[Zarathustra]

Complaining about a person putting on a coffee lid without gloves?! Jesus we are such whiners.

Just be thankful that your coffee isn't being made with filthy third world African water.

What I like about Timmys - going in for my usual one coffee in the morning and they have it waiting on the counter for me before I even have to open my mouth.

[SportsJunky]

There are still grown adults who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom? Really?

These suck. Just because it comes out of a gimmicky machine does not mean the coffee isn't crap. Not to mention that if you look at where the coffee squirts out there is always a massive buildup of smeg.

Holy crap dude....talk about taking it out of context a bit. Maybe hop down off your mighty horse and listen up a sec.

First of all I never whined that they don't wear gloves. I whined that they stick their grubby meat hooks all over the lid that I'm about to stick in my mouth. Is it too much to ask to have a relatively clean surface to drink out of. Oh right, there's kids in Africa drinking out of mud puddles.....no bloody way ?? But hey....this isn't Africa, we have clean water, and we know a little about how nasty little viruses spread around. I don't know 'bout you, but I happen to like lessening the odds somewhat of catching the bug of the week.

Second, where did I imply that I'm not a thankful person for what I have or don't have? Is that really relevant to the discussion?

By your reasoning, unsanitary conditions exist in third world countries, so I should suck it up here, accept that I may get a cup with Joe Blows freshly sneezed hand all over it, even though it's simple to prevent?

The whole point really of my op is that I am paying for a product/service. I understand I have a choice to go there or not. Is that the way it should be? Shouldn't a service be basically sold as first rate, not "well this is the way it is and if you don't like it, go somewhere else"? I happen to like going there and like the product, but I've identified a way that I feel a decent product can be improved upon.

You should know better, Buzzard. You can't really say much around here without being reminded that there are starving kids in Africa or that Hitler killed the Jews.

Do you feel better about yourself now? Jesus you are such a whiner.

You know our lives are easy because we're created these ridiculous problems such as germaphobia. Be thankful that your life is easy enough to even care about "germs".

Aww man, ain't it true. I guess if I get a bug in my soup at the restaurant...just stfu, eat it and be happy. After all, there's a lotta people that'd kill for that soup.
