    If you go to that little candy shop on barrington they sell little packs of "fart bags" that are a lot like bomb bags, less scare and more rotten egg smell though. Push a couple into the place where their door sticks.

    OP here,

    In my experience(s) with people of this sort, (and they were employees,) the best approach is to just laugh to your self smile and keep on going because they think they walk on the side of the fence with the greener grass. I'm very comfortable in my own skin, but seeing the poor girl at the check out looking like her ears were burning, she must hear it all the time from the bunch of jerks, broke my heart a bit.

    Yes I will be writing a letter, or making a phone call, to whatever sort of management I can because its just not acceptable at all in any workplace to be subject to any kind of banter of this variety at any time.

    straight, gay, bi, queer or absolutely fucked in the head, no one deserves to have to hear that kind of shit come out of their co-workers mouths. Pick up your socks and act like a decent person on the job then go home and be who you wanna be, 'cause to each they're own, with respect to others in a community environment, really.

    Re: “Down on my luck
    Mm I know. I usually take them out, like I said. Happened to be the one night I left them. The ipod was old, the deck is unfortunate, however replaceable. The feeling of being violated is gross, knowing I worked so hard for my things and some assholes took them like there's nothing to it. Like you said PK, life lesson.

    That girl is kinda snarly eh? Puts about half of what you request and puts two more on when you ask for a little more. I go after 11, the two nicer boys are working and they are always pleasant.

    Oh the things that go on in the bathrooms. A lot of booze, drug injection, smoking, joint rolling, just what you would expect for a lowly regulated environment with lots of, interesting, people.

    Let me re-form that: Dear elusive idiots who do not understand the ways of "behind the counter techniques." (lol)


    Its not about the size of the mugs either, no one cares if you get an inch more coffee than you paid for. Really I promise.

    Dear elusive idiots,

    You do realize the "people of Tim Hortons" get paid terrible wages, work like slaves, and also get yelled at when the drive times don't reach the goals for the day. Also, you pollute the environment more than a wasted cup by idling your car in the drive thru while waiting in the morning line-up.
    The reason its in a paper cup is because your car is sitting three cars back when we get your order ready. I know it seems rediculous to not wait until you get to the window, but when you're trying to keep those drive times up every second counts.
    Elimnination of the problem: park your car, get out of your car. Walk your lazy ass into the store. Coffee goes right in cup. Shut up and leave.

    My only bother is when people come up to my counter talking to each other in a different language, look at me, mutter something in low broken english, expect me to understand what they just said, go back to their conversation, and become enraged when I ask them to repete the order.
