Epic hipsters due to the hate in this thread. Hate for no reason = EPIC hipsterness. There's a thread about that.

what do you mean no reason?
hatred for a coffee shop is useless hate. if you don't like it, don't go to it. NBD.

hatred ought to be reserved for things you can't control, like the weather. "I hate this weather" is completely acceptable.

"I hate this coffee shop" makes it sound like you're making an unnecessary statement, aka are an epic hipster.

OP should save his outrage for when something truly worth it happens. Like if you saw a La Banquise in the Mall of America then you might have a point.

No reason? Shitty coffee, overpriced food, horrible traffic congestion because people will jam up the roads while sitting I their cars trying to go through the drive through....lotsa reasons...only good thing about them are the kid's camps that they sponsor.

lol i've never seen the line travel onto the street. but, sounds to me like you hate their customers.

In both cases, that's a waste of energy. hate something that matters.

Their coffee is ok, I like the doughnuts though. I only ever get the chocolate doughnut and only go a handful times a year, so maybe I'm missing something.

I'd drive by 2 Tim's where people would block the street...so annoying when they could park and grab one 3x as quick....just the smell of the rancid coffee gives me heartburn :(

I'm getting addicted to Tim's, I think they put something in that coffee. :p I used to only have the occasional Keurig coffee at work. Then started with Tim Hortons, but mostly just when on the super early shifts. Now, it's almost every day, even on my days off. Did not get one yet today, but I will be going to get one.

I think it's like smoking, it's not just the substance, it's the habit that goes with it. Going for the ride to pick it up and stuff. But if I do get one every day, that's $60/mo on coffee and that's not counting my gas. Probably add 10 bucks to that. Kinda bad when you think about it.

I don't want a Keurig, but I really need to think of a single serve solution for at home. :p I do have a drip machine but I'm not going to make a whole pot just for myself. Would I drink it all, perhaps, but that's a lot of coffee in one day.
