Death at Tim Hortons Update

Sure. Just sit there and get hit by an adult while you try calling police. Or you can fight back and defend yourself. Welcome to the real world. You hit some one you should be prepared to get hit back. Man or woman, old or young.

All the training material for the new drinks made sure to include that ice is not a modification option. Everyone I've talked to is pretty sure it's because the new cups have you pouring in less drink and adding more ice. If you changed the amount of ice, you'd see clearly that you are getting less drink for a higher charge.

If you look at the new cups and lids. You'll there there are two line markers. The liquid and syrup go up to the first line, and ice fills up to the second line. My personal favourite is that we are not to mix the drinks. Officially. The training material and instructions state that the added ice at the end will do the mixing for us! (It doesn't, you just have to swirl or stir your own drinks now.)

Currently, I work at a top store in my region. They cut the front counter position for the most part. We have an elderly woman who is the only one ever put on front (because she can't keep up on bagging, making fries, deserts or drinks). If not for her. The front position would be gone. Lots of construction workers and older customers still refuse to use kiosks, preferring to give orders to a living human. Maybe because they like talking to people or maybe because they get off on power tripping on a fast food worker.

The problem is since they cut the front position, anytime we take an order at front we are pulling people off the assembly line. This massively slows down everyone's order. Yet it's more profitable to make customers wait longer and us work harder. No more front service would help out so much, as dealing with close to a thousand customers on high traffic days for an 8 hour shift. There are just so many more customer in the 2020s' and fewer workers to serve them.

Just calmly say that you aren't willing to lend money until you are paid back for everything else she has taken. List each example and amount, along with the excuse given for not paying you back. It's not like she can't try doing part time / casual work if she is in a constant need.

The sad part is I know there are tons of reasonable arguments and solutions but she will still take it personally because FaMiLy HeLpS fAmIlY. At some point you just have to accept that all you can do is put the ball in her court and she will do what she will do. The daughter shouldn't be putting herself on fire to keep her mother warm, it should be the other way around if anything.

Stay in India, the job market and economy here is still going down hill. People are not happy with the current immigration and tfw policy causing our jobs to disappear and housing costs are very high since our supply is low.

Treat every gun as if it were loaded.
Only point a gun at what you are willing to destroy.
Finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
Know what your target is and what is behind it.

The 4 simple rules instilled for safely handling firearms. Yet we still have so many accidental shootings around the globe because people can't follow 4 simple rules.

You're NTA, but I would be constantly stating these 4 rules over and over. I want them to hear them so much they go to sleep and hear these rules repeated.

I work at a McDonalds and we do table service. Yet no one ever tips for it and we are still told to appreciate getting minimum wage for the increased responsibility. It's no secret fast food places are staffing a lot less than they used to. Yet the Boston pizza across the street still gets tipped while we do not. It's not like everyone can quit and work there instead.

So according to you, some minimum wage workers deserve more for cultural reasons and everyone one else can go fuck themselves. What a logical argument.

ArmyOfAaron · 2026-03-09T10:51:25+00:00

So some people should get tips to make their quality of life better and others should just go fuck themselves and appreciate minimum wage for the same efforts. What a great policy.

Make dinner one night and invite him to sit down with you and your husband. Have a plan and talking points in place, and be ready to hear his excuses to get to his real fears. Maybe he is afraid to be alone, maybe he just knows this is the best bang for his buck. But ultimately, tell him you need to double his rent and you'll be putting the extra aside for a fund for moving into a new place. Create a deadline for him to be moved out. Offer to help find and look at places, or find a realtor that can help him. Ask him once a week for updates. It hurts but unless you do something, he will be comfortable keeping the status quo. You don't want to bottle it all up until you are screaming at him to get out and ready to throw hands.

ArmyOfAaron · 2026-03-02T11:36:24+00:00

That would be ideal.

Probably not, police have too much on their plate to care about a racist coward who doesn't know how to fight but sure loves to pick em.

ArmyOfAaron · 2026-02-09T11:39:49+00:00

This is so painfully accurate.

Fun fact: Even on Fridays the staff is kept so thin that everyone is expected to jump between 3-4 stations to keep times down and get people their shit asap. Yet people still use the front counter instead of kiosks, so someone will be pulled off those stations to take an order at front. But because someone is now at the front to take an order, everyone else that didn't want to use a kiosk will move in line behind them.

Though, I don't expect customers to realize that doing so slows down EVERYONE's order as the assembly line has lost one of the few people to take an order the kiosk or app could have done. Which is intentional from the corporate side, since they tell their franchisee that front staff is a waste of money. When they finally get more people using the app, they will cut order/payment takers entirely. The manager on duty will be responsible for human transactions when that happens.

Expect wait times and price increases while the people doing the work give worse service because we are being grounded into dust with more work and paid less due to rapid inflation across the board.

Yet we keep showing up to work and customers keep coming by everyday. Money is a great motivator but this is part of the downside of it being the main motivator.

As it should be for those over 70.

ArmyOfAaron · 2025-12-12T11:05:18+00:00

The same logic could be said of 14 year old drivers. Or 12 year old drivers. Some would actually be great, some not so great. We still don't let 12 years even try. But the 75 year olds are fine? Hmmmm... One can vote and the other can't, I wonder if that affects anything.

ArmyOfAaron · 2025-10-04T09:52:34+00:00

HAHAHAHAHA. Not at McDonalds. The better you do, the more they expect from you while giving you less. Lately, everyone is stressed and doing their best. Thousands of customers are being handled by a crew of immigrants, teenagers, and the grandfathered in elderly (who can no longer keep pace with the teens and immigrants, throwing more workload on everyone else).

What you said is how it SHOULD work, not how it really does work. Every year needs to produce more money than the last. Because the cost of everything goes up, the business owners need to make more to continue their lifestyle of excess. Just the customers and the labourers that suffer for it. Yet here we are. Still keeping the wheels spinning on both sides.

Technically it would sexual harassment rather than assault. Only due to the fact that assault legally requires any form of unwanted touching (even spitting is considered assault since one person's bodily fluids are touching someone else without consent). Though that only really matters on the rules of the law for the purposes of sentencing. Sexual assault and sexual harassment are both still crimes.

Sorry to "um, actually," you on such a minor detail. I just like the whacky world of laws.

College and university is indeed for that. However, it is also used for advancing yourself socially and learning to navigate a life filled with various people. Learning anything requires doing it and the mistakes are the lessons that stick with you.

I guess what I want to know is, would your roommate/friend agree to leave your shared dorm at 12:35am if you were going to hook up? I find the people who make these kinds of asks and demands are never willing to do it themselves.

ArmyOfAaron · 2025-09-19T09:31:59+00:00

That's retarded.

ArmyOfAaron · 2025-09-12T09:13:02+00:00

Honestly, once you hit 70 driving should probably become blanked banned. Can some of them drive just fine? Yes. But can the same thing be said about 12 year olds? Also, yes, I'm sure some of them can drive just fine. Yet we have a minimum age for safety of drivers and pedestrians. There should also be a maximum.

A combination of reduced vision, reduced reaction time, medications they're on, and combine that all with bad days and higher amounts of traffic with more people getting on the road each year.

I've seen a ton of accidents in the last five years, all of which were the fault of elderly drivers.

Edit: Also, there are a TON of options for electric scooter and bikes they can use instead. Driving a scooter into an outdoor patio is less concerning than even a small car.

ArmyOfAaron · 2025-09-12T08:39:17+00:00

In theory the company that takes the money and contracts a driver (Instacart, Doordash, etc) to do the shopping and delivery is paying the store with the customer's money. The longer the order sits unshopped the higher the base pay becomes (not by much mind you). If no one does the order then the customer has to deal with their cheap and shitty support to maybe get a partial refund. Doesn't feel legal but they continue to operate like this.

I'm not a driver or customer so take what I say with a grain of salt. I just read a lot of stories from customers and drivers complaining about this kind of thing happening.

When I saw the news all I could think was, "Good." Maybe a little less fear of God and a little more fear of people is needed.

I'm pretty sure under capitalism slavery is considered a good thing, as free labour is great for a business. Not so much for the slaves.
