I HATE getting ripped off.

Good ole Tim Hortons.  Coffee house of Canada.  No kidding.  I'd like to say that this only happens on campus where they know they can take advantage of poor students and who gives a shit.  But it's happened in other places as well.

I'll have an extra large cappacino please.  Great!  It's only 40 cents more than a large, but so worth it.  Until I get to my seat and open the lid.  Why is it only 5/6ths full?  There's at least an inch of empty cup at the top! 

Now why should I pay for an extra large coffee when I only get a large?  This is a problem and I'm not happy!!  Why should I have to specify that I'd like my cup full, please?  Shouldn't it be common knowledge that when someone orders a cup of coffee, they want a WHOLE cup of coffee?  I don't want to pay for 1/6th of an empty cup!  

We all know that Tim Hortons is a shady company.  They advertise one thing and deliver another.  I think that they're planning to take over the world, personally.  Ever hear of those penny schemes?  Where an outfit gets rich ripping off people one penny at a time but there are so many people to rip off that it doesn't take long for that one penny a piece to add up to a really lot of money.  That's what they're doing! 

They're nickle and diming their customers for profit.  This is done a number of different ways, always gambling on the trust that the customer has for them.  The customer usually doesn't ASK for a full cup of coffee, so why give it to them.  If the customer doesn't ASK for a second cup so that they can carry their piping hot coffee without burning the shit out of their hands, then we won't give them one.  It all hinges on the "politeness" of Canadians.  We don't want to inconvenience anyone by asking for extra things that we were expecting to receive in the first place.  So we suck it up, plaster a big shit-eating grin on our faces and try our best not to cry as we walk away playing hot potato with our coffee cups.  Do we go back again?  Yup.  'cause it must have just been a mistake or an oversight.  The girl just forgot, that's all. 

Sorry sucker, but unless you assert yourself and demand the level of product and service that you're paying for, you'll just get ass pounded again and again.  It's a dog eat dog world ladies, and Timmy knows all about it.
