An so it begins....Roll up the rim

Post by 200hr Wonder »

Got my first roll up the rim to win cup today... and need to get another, they told me to!

On the other hand I am painfully aware I am a bachelor, went ot get cream for it and only found in my fridge assorted Tabasco products, some out of date milk and a bottle of Irish cream. And yes I left the milk in there mom :smt040

Last visit to Timmies: August 2007 just outside Montreal.
Last time I enjoyed a timmies cup? This morning.

I can't thank the fellow from BC enough, who sent 10 cans and 10 travel mugs to me and my guys.
I'm also a proud owner of a cammie tim hortons hat!

I saw the saddest thing the other day. While standing in line, to order myself a coffee, the person in front of me had a thermos to fill up with coffee. The lady working that till, took a small roll up the rim cup, put the cream and sugar in it, poured it into the thermos, then went to the coffee machine, put a bit of coffee in the cup, swished it around, then poured it into the thermos. What she did next, I can still hardly believe - I was in shock. She THREW THE CUP OUT. Didn't even check the rim! I mean, could have given it to the customer even, and that customer might have won a coffee, or a donut, or even, a CAR! I know what I'll be doing my next night off ;) .. I wonder if they lock the dumpsters....

Ok do your chances of winning actually increase with the size of the cup? If yes anyone have any stats or proof?

I used to like Tims coffee.

Then I started the expat life and enjoy the drink in countries that have been been brewing it for far longer than Canada has been a country.

My opinion of Tims now? You don't want to hear it.

Your chances don't increase with the size of cup, you can get the information from Tims about the number of winners per cup. As for the story about the roll up cup being thrown out, that was a poorly trained employee, you're supposed to do the sugar and mixing and everything in a brown cup. If you screw up while using a roll up cup you are supposed to throw the cup in a special bin, the cups go to the store owner, I think they check the rims so they can report to head office about what went through, and then they were destroyed, ie: put in the fire.
