"It was the unfortunate action of one manager who unfortunately made an overzealous decision, and thankfully we were able to rectify the situation," said company spokeswoman Rachel Douglas.

Somehow I don't think they would have been quite so understanding if word hat not got out and people begun to complain.

Douglas said Tim Hortons had received a number of complaints. "Thankfully we're able to go back to them and say we were able to fix the situation," she said.

Aaaaand there it is.

It's going to be a hostile work environment now. They're gonna look for any excuse now to fire her again.

She should quit her job now, and sue the fuck out of the bastards for firing her in the first place.

She should have coughed the 16 cents up if it were such a big deal.

No, They gave her a job different Tim Horton's, albeit ownwd by the same franchisee. The manager who fired her will get in shit. Tim Horton's frowns upon any negative publicity. Tim Horton's has a squeaky clean image in Canada and they will keep it that way.

I thought "16-cent treat" was some kind of code for a hand job.

They sell some really good doughnuts. Really good.

Wish they'd come down to Texas. They have 'em up in Ohio, but the donuts aren't worth having to visit my inlaws.

There's a tiny doughnut place back up in Spokane called Mike's. They're "old fashioned" and damn good. I need to find a good place down here so I can suck up to my coworkers.

We've got plenty of good donut places around here. There's one a couple miles up the road that's a local place, and it's tasty.

I don't care for Miss Johansson. You'd be more likely to get my attention by shouting about Salma Hayek, or if you want young, Rachel Nichols.

Let's settle for la Salmita, then.

It was just a scattershot attempt!

Indeed. I am, however, not easily distracted. Your sad joke shall not be forgotten.

My dog gets plain munchkins when I go to the coffee drive thru and biscuits at the bank drive thru. A few dollars in free give aways a day is a cheap way to keep customers happy and coming back.

The Tim Horton's where I live usually gives my dog a timbit when he is with me when I go through the drive-though

I just got a free drill bit at the hardware store. Guy rings me up, bags everything, looks down at the counter "is this yours?" "Yeah." "Ehh whatever here you go" and he puts it in the bag.
