If you don’t already know, Tim Hortons increased the price of their hot beverages and sandwiches by ten cents. Old news, I know. I want to talk about it now, because we’ve all got the chance to experience the price change.
When I first heard Tim Hortons was raising their prices, I thought, well they’re cheaper than Starbucks and the other coffee place at school— ten cents can’t be too bad. But every morning at school, I expect to hear the employees yell “NEXT PLEASE” to the long line around the lunchroom. Then I expect to hear “that’ll be $1.64,” but times have changed. My morning routine is not the same because of ten cents.
The one thing that should change is the accuracy of the sugar dispenser, because the days I need my three sugar, two milk coffees, are the days I NEED the extra sugar, but I get coffee with some milk. But the days I’m trying to avoid extra cavities, is when my two sugar, two milk coffees taste like eight sugar, two milk. I could just stop getting coffee from there, but I forgive you Tim Hortons… Actually, I might subconsciously enjoy the suspense of taking that first sip to see if my coffee is right. (Sorry for the rant, I needed to put that out there).
My second thought was, well I’m Canadian, and it is my duty to drink Tim Hortons coffee every morning. Like I’m doing them the favor, “here, have ten cents—it’s my pleasure”. Sometimes, I still think that. The relationship I have with Tim Hortons is loyal, except my sleazy one night stands with Starbucks here and there (don’t tell Tims).
Now I’m thinking, how dare you Tim Hortons. We we’re doing so well. You upgraded your cup size—check, you have roll up the rim to win—double check, you serve cinnamon French toast bagels—triple check, but now you’re charging us loyal customers more money. It’s personal—it has always been personal.
Tim Hortons says they’re increasing prices because of rising operational costs.
Not because they hate me.
I’m still buying my coffee every morning, but it’ll never be the same.
Has your Tim Hortons routine changed since the prince increase? Tell me what you think!
