| - If we are friends on Yelp or if you are a wonderful follower, you will know that I check in at Starbucks often. Nope, I'm not a coffee addict. I tend to order various iced teas and food, and prefer Starbucks. On the whole, the folks there seem to know what they are doing, unless they are brand new. That's understandable. If I do order coffee, it has to be heavily flavoured, to mask the coffee aftertaste.
I go to Timmy's a handful of times a year. I tend to get food, soup, or steeped tea.
Recently, I got word that the TimmyMe app has been discontinued. There was a procedure outlined in an e-mail on how to transfer your balance from your account on TimmyMe to the new Tim Hortons app. I do not go to Timmy's enough to figure out what my password is. Even after resetting it, the procedure failed bigtime.
The easier way is to simply log on to the new app and add your Tim Card number there. Done! I figured out that I had $7.14.
With my newfound balance that felt like I had won a scratch-and-win lottery ticket, I decided to use it. I visited this Timmy's, which is on my route from work. I have probably frequented this location more than any other in the GTA.
The last time I was here was August 23, 2015. Facebook has a fun way of reminding me of my memories. My post that went with my pumpkin spice muffin pic then was as follows:
I haven't been to a Timmy's in a while. I decided to break my streak.
Me: Can I have a pumpkin spice muffin, please?
Woman: We don't have that.
Me: Seriously? I'm staring at it.
Her sidekick comes over and tells the woman that they do sell these muffins.
Perhaps I should start my streak again.
Today, I restarted my streak. Instead of walking into the store, I went through the drive-thru. The parking lot isn't exactly roomy, so you need to take care pulling into the drive-thru. I ordered an apple fritter.
"No drink?" the woman asked me over the speaker.
"Nope, I'm good." I replied.
I pulled up to the window and used my app. She pulled out the debit-credit device. After about five seconds, she realized that she needed her scanner.
The good news is that her scanner worked and I got my apple fritter. She gave it to me and that was it. I guess that friendliness is lacking today.
The apple fritter was okay for $1.25. I could barely find any apple bits. It was essentially sugary dough.
In short, I go to Starbucks because I typically have friendlier folks. There seems to be something odd that happens when I come to this location. Today's experience was much better, but the pumpkin spice muffin incident is still fresh in my mind.
P.S. The apple fritters at Starbucks may be way more expensive than what you'd pay at Timmy's. However, they are yummier and larger at the former.
