Advice for ‘Timmies’

Dear Editor:

RE: Township issues legal notice, brings in police for traffic behind Mount Forest Tim Hortons, May 14.

The John Street stopping in Mount Forest has indeed been a problem for decades, but how much of a problem and why choose now to address it? Perhaps that would’ve been prudent prior to the John Street construction to try to explore any possible options?

The fact that social media is basically free and local news outlets certainly don’t charge much for “news” announcements, I’m left to assume that it will apparently cost $5,000 to actually get the OPP to do their job?

Tim Hortons, here’s a couple of suggestions from a rube. Get rid of the curb and grass areas. Maybe relocate the trash cans? Look at twinning and then merging the drive-thru lanes? Perhaps no exit to John Street?

And, stop putting items on your menu that take forever for your underpaid employees to prepare. Keep the drive-thru menu very basic. It’s a simple suggestion that not only applies to Mount Forest but corporate-wide.

But I’m pretty sure marketing is of more importance to Timmies than actual service, so there’s that.
