Wow.
As I'm reading through these posts, all I can think is "is this a review about my favorite Canadian coffee chain, or a teen angst blog-a-thon?" I'd say 50 - 60% of these 1-star posts belong to hard done by employees. Seriously, after reading your posts I can't help but think what outstanding employees you must have been. That can-do attitude really speaks volumes. I'd hire you in a minute. Riiiiiiight...

This coffee house is a Canadian icon. Not overproduced with extensive gift shops and Italian espresso machines producing $5 lattes, but a hold on to our roots staple which has managed to successfully assimilate itself across an entire country and infiltrate another. Awesome coffee with mild complexity brewed in a BUNN. Love it! Employees may find differences from manager to manager, but who doesn't! Wait until you're not living with mommy & daddy, you're on the hook for your bills, a family to support, oh...and your boss sucks. Have a degree? You'll be able to smile at your boss while sporting a middle-finger mustache much more easily. Don't have a degree? Well, maybe there will be another site about your future employer (Olive Garden perhaps?) that you can 'rant' about while dragging them down into that Waahhh pool with you.

Love some Timmy's! Moved down south, so I have to have it shipped. It's not the same. I look forward to holidays when I come back to see my family. There's always a Large Regular and Hockey Night in Canada waiting for me when I get there. If I get the timing right, I get to roll up the rim!

Listen, how about you work there for 40 hours a week (often 44, as that's the threshold for overtime pay and they often have to call you in at the last minute) and then you can tell us whatever you like about the attitude. I don't mind working there, there are worse places in the world I could be, and I am courteous and quick with customers and try to do all the (many) backstage duties as well as I can without compromising service. You probably think it's an easy job, but the poster above talking about all the duties s/he had to perform is hardly atypical. I still recognize it's a pretty miserable place to work, for really chicken scratch pay, and I'm trying to find alternatives but it's pretty rough out there for students in this economy. I'm not bitter because that's where fate has brought me, and what's the use of complaining, but you really come off as an entitled prick with a superiority complex just because you're on the other side of the counter. I'm inviting you to get on the other side and work 12 hours on your feet for minimum wage.
