Angry Tim Hortons ... what gives????

OK ... I usually go to a few around where I live and I have been charged $1.58 for a large DD. Ayt my office in Brampton I am charged $1.52 for the same. I was under the impression that ours at the office was subsidized hence the lower price. I went to Niagara Fall for a symposium and was charged $1.52 for a large DD at the Casablanca Rd Timmies. I asked a Timmies worker this evening as to why the price difference. He said it's $1.58 in Toronto and $1.52 elsewhere ... what gives???? We getting shafted just like the gas co's????

There has been a price difference for as long as I can remember. I remember it coming in a few years ago. One of the perks of living outside of the GTA (sorry about the pun).

Also, in Brampton, Timmy's only has a cheese only tea bisquit, no ham&cheese like the rest of Ontario.

And since you are ranting abut gar prices. Cambridge is pretty much the most expensive in SW Ontario!!! How can that be explained?

According to my sources (cdn wolf), Corvette guys drink Tim Horton's, while real Porsche drivers drink Starbucks. Just like p-car maintenance: If you have to ask how much your coffee costs, then you can't afford it.

How so man? I do my oil changes myself and it comes up to about that much.

Oil Filter is like 20 something dollars even at 10% off, and oil I'm paying 7 something a liter and I need 9 of em. On the best of days an oil change is under 100 bucks DIYing it.
