Today, I was working at Tim Hortons. A lady was in line, and she couldnt make up her mind. 20 minutes later she finally decided to get something, and she reached in her pocket. I was hoping it was a tip, but she gave me a coupon for a haircut. FML

You should have looked her straight in the eyes, looked up to her hair and said "It's okay, I think you'll need it. But make sure the hairdresser chooses the cut, because something tells me you aren't the greatest at making decisions."

I've heard that Canadians are exceptionally polite. Maybe she was trying to subtly tell you that she found a hair on her donut. Next time she comes in and tell her she's won a free cream-filled donut, and then go in the back and make her a "special" one. Include a complimentary hair of a different sort.

Oh my God I laughed so hard just then, memories of Van Wilder are coming back. That comment was possibly the funniest thing I've seen this month.

xD It was probably her way of saying "your hair is too long and unkept, here's a coupon for a haircut in case your broke Tim Horton's employee ass can't afford one".

Yes, and while you are back there, can you make me a special raspberry-jelly filled one?

You're not even supposed to accept tips at Timmy's you jackass.

You're also not supposed to leave change lying around on the counter, and if you put it in the drawer, then it will be over when they count it down. What else are you gonna do? When I was a barista we weren't supposed to accept tips, but we always did. If someone wants to give, why not let them? We weren't asking for it, and the customers knew it wasn't required. It was mostly just people who didn't want their change anyway.

Who says you can't accept tips? I work there too and I have a special cup for customers to drop change in, if they want. The managers make one for everyone there. Its behind the register and its not necessary at all. Its not usually much more than small change, but it adds up and I can usually by lunch for myself with it, maybe more a few more lunches that week if I'm lucky. And you know what, its a lot harder work than most think. Dealing with people is difficult. And I do a lot more work than many of my friends at their part time jobs.

My parents love Tim Hortons coffee! Anyways, at least you get a discount on a haircut.

Are you stupid? Not all Tim Hortons have that rule.

I'd be ******* ecstatic if someone left a coupon for a haircut as a tip. It's worth way more than a buck, and my hair is going to reach my ass soon if I don't do something about it. xD

FYL for not getting a recipe for sweet-and-sour chicken, because that's infinitely more useful than a haircut for a coffeehouse worker.

It's the Canadian version of Dunkin Donuts basically. The coffee is lackluster.

Lackluster? It's better than the bitter swill at Starbucks, frankly. Although my preference is Second Cup.

I don't even like coffee and I know the coffee at Timmy's is burnt dirt.

Tim Horton's coffee is good, it a hell of a lot better than Starbucks. Starbucks is bitter and doesn't taste like coffee. If you think Tim Horton's coffee tastes like "burnt dirt" then its probably because you're drinking it black. Black coffee tastes disgusting (to me), that's why you add milk/cream and or sugar. It sweetens it.
