| - Due to an unforeseeable series of events, our Friday night ended in a cab home at 6AM Saturday morning. The backseat decision-makers conferred and we all agreed: we were past the point of our usual late-night cravings (poutine, pizza, poutine with pizza)...it was time for breakfast foods.
With that solid strategic decision made, the cab driver rolled up in front of this Tim Hortons, which is open 24 hrs.
Inside the Timmy's a serene vibe reigned: there was a man eating a bagel, another asleep with head down on a table, and a third reading the paper. We were able to immediately sashay (why not?) up to the front, where one lone employee manned the counter.
The dialogue was simple:
We asked, "what's your freshest donut?"
"They are all fresh", the dude-in-brown-uniform responded.
Whereas I might normally dock him a few points for being surly, I kinda appreciated the early morning grumble and the fact that he wasn't picking favourites. So we ended up with muffins and a box of Timbits. Efficient, inexpensive, inandout without racking up too much time on the taxi meter.
Yum dash oh. The multi-pack of Timbits was perfect, with my favourite being the old fashioned and the sourcream glazed.
We ate them all by the time we got home.
We wished we had more.
We slept soundly.
Yelp note: it pays to buy Timbits in bulk PLUS that means that the employee will fashion a little cardboard carrying case for you. What better way to make friends?!?
