Queen's FOCO draws thousands of students
Thousands gathered for a second weekend in Kingston’s University District for “Fauxcoming”, before it was shut down by police.
While the neighborhood was relatively quiet in the morning, the crowds grew by the thousands at around 1:30 pm.
By 2:30 p.m, crowds grew to approximately 3,000 people according to the Kingston Police. An Aggravated Nuisance Gathering was then declared on Aberdeen Street. Under the order, students who fail to comply are subject to a $2,000 administrative monetary penalty.

    The doughnuts were never anything to write home about. They were on-par with Robins, which weren't great. Horton's secret was always in the coffee. People were addicted to it like crack. Then they changed it in 2016. That's when the real decline started. Bean counter balance sheets may have still looked ok at that point, but the masses were already fucking off in droves.

    I think it will take a generation for Tim Hortons to completely disappear. Right now it's all the people going there for nostalgia despite the quality dropping, but kids today don't go there and as they grow up Tim Hortons is going to just get abandoned

    I believe the downfall started when a non-canadian conglomerate bought out the company. As stated, the smaller inferior doughnuts make for poor customer satisfaction. The switch from actual roll up the rim to an app was the last straw for me, I don't boycott them but they don't get the same amount of business from me and many people I know.

    They did not leave the U.S. in its entirety. In my home, the State of Connecticut, the six outlets they opened all folded within two years. Their product is trite and lackluster; nothing special at all. Because Canada is a much smaller and much less competitive market than the U.S., a chain like Tim Horton's can do well, because, frankly, it's all they have (beyond the usual American fast-food/quick-service chains.)

    2 years later and only 40 comments? How can that be? I have a few thoughts. Imagine a doughnut and coffee shop that brings in frozen doughnuts. Freshly thawed out before sale. The coffee is promoted as being (relatively) freshly made. It still tastes well-stewed, and I blame the equipment and the staff. I have seen staffers erasing the time info on pots and rewriting a later time. So the 20 minutes or less pot time limit is a fiction. The sandwiches are pathetic. There are no cooks at Tim's locations, just microwave operators. There are some clever ways to use a commercial microwave appliance to reheat food relatively successfully. Alternately, throw a few poorly trained and wildly inexperienced teens into the mix and you find horror shows. The cute cardboard packs are supposed to be for the benefit of shipping and storage. If you don't open the pack before you nuke it, the steam generated guarantees soggy, completely tasteless and sometimes ghastly results. Many of the entree packs sold at Tim's are precooked, then reheated. So you want a lovely twice-cooked egg breakfast sandwich? You will get a white and yellow hockey puck instead. The best things I found at Tim's were the iced cinnamon buns...recently discontinued...and during warm weather, an iced cap. In my home town of Sooke, BC, the buns are gone and the ice cap machine has been broken for about six months so far in 2023. You can get a watery iced cap, but who would actually want that? So that final comment reflects the sheer incompetence of Tim's management. I you let monkeys run your coffee shop, expect to have some monkey poop flying around.

      ?? They haven’t. I’ve thought about it and i came up with this reason. If they had all the donuts in every single restaurant, most of the other restaurants won’t have as much business. Thus, they have specific restaurants to have the now “special” timbits/donuts so they make more money while making more salees.

    Tim Hortons has to much shit on their menu for a coffee shop. What kind of coffee shop makes 30 different kinds of sandwhiches? It was just a place where a family or friends could go to sit down have a coffee and a donut or muffin bagel cookie and there was just a few sandwhichs. It wasent a full blown resturant. So people were dealt with FAST. Now you have peolle taking 15 fucking minutss just to order. Then now they back up the entire kitchens cause they have to make 14 things for one damn person while the rest are just tryna get to work with a nice coffee cause thess lazy fuckers cant wake up earlier and eat breakfast before leaving or pack it with them to go. Or go to an actual restuant. They go to a coffee shop. Which made it evolved into this stupid mish mash of a coffee stop and a half assed version of subway. Like they should have stayed in the coffee shop lane. Their sales have fallen cause who the hell wants to wait 20 minutes for one coffee? And these young workers need to stfu and do their jobs. Lol like shit. These new generations never shut up. Ever. Not at work constantly saying stuff online then go to work and they still talking. Like shut up and focus. Like some days I literally think people are mentally disabled when I see a kitchen that has 20 workers and it still take their combined efforts more then 5 minutes to make a coffee. Cause they talking or moving slow or they having at work fueds with each other. And this "be nice" culture literally ruined management you can yell at these kids for being useless twats or theyll have you charged fir some kinds hate crime. Cant fire them cause then you get charged for some type of discrimination. Like shit. Sorry man Im just sick of the world lately. Fucking garbage.
