    I remember that, it was a midnight shift job, and those bakers actually got paid not too bad for a retail industry job. Around here I remember that not all stores had baking kitchens, and the ones that did would bake for a couple other stores and deliver them.

We don't have a Mcdonalds here so I do not drink their coffee, and have not been able to compare and put together an opinion of my own on the subject. So I ask you oh knowledgeable folks of our little ol' firearms community, Timmy Hoe Hoe's or Mickey D's??

    Let me know!!! Also I like my coffee with a touch of sugar, nothing else. Or Black, sugar is not critical when it comes down to it. As long as there aint no milk/cream/latte/cappa-hipster-frothy-jazz-hands involved.

    No sugar or cream , Just a Tim's Extra Large, With either honey. That you can get there. Or Maple syrup. That I have in my truck.

    1. McDonalds aquired Tim Hortons supplier contract when it opened up its aggressive McCafe campaign in Canada, quite the coup at the time. Hortons now does their coffee in house and it shows

    2. Hortons doesn't sell coffee but a "coffee drink" which Consumer reports/testing indicate has gone from about 2/3 coffee to about 1/2 coffee... how else do you improve operating margins?

    3. Hortons hasn't been a Canadian company for years... currently Brazillian owned.

    ... Tim Hortons hasn't been good coffee for over 10 years... just as has happened so many times before and since a successful Canadian brand was sold to foreign interests who changed the what made the company successful to cut costs and maximize profits, shareholder value and their own bonuses... (different "coffee" recipe, donuts no longer made in house but made off site, frozen and shipped to the stores, crappy sub-deli level food)... too bad.
