Hey, sorry for a negative post in this community.
Tim Hortons (it’s a fast food brand quite popular in Canada for those who’re confused) is partnering up with the Harry Potter IP to launch Harry Potter themed products for some time.
JK Rowling, who’s a massive massive transphobe and who has caused a lot of pain to our trans friends earns quite a lot of money from the IP. Every penny you spend on this IP directly contributes to her financial growth.
Please boycott Tim Hortons (at least for the duration of this event if not forever).
Trans rights are human rights, and fuck all individuals and institutions that violate/promote violation of human rights.
I mean, I was boycotting them already but I’ll boycott them harder.
I wasn’t boycotting them, I just rather eat the gravel in their parking lot than their stale bagels.
What were you boycotting them for already? Not saying your wrong, fuck brands and shit, but I’m curious.
Well, bad food and shitty coffee lol. But actually, they were bought out by an American company years ago (taco bell I think?) and keep portraying themselves as this great Canadian company. It’s just gross and I try not to purchase from shitty companies.
Also, as a general rule because I am lucky enough to live in a town full of great coffee shops, I just prefer local.
They merged with burger king and remained Canadian. So its actually the other way around.
Meh, it’s debatable but I IMO if it’s majority foreign owned, it’s not canadian. Looking more into it as I hadn’t read about it in a while:
Either way I just don’t care for nationalism, so I should have clarified: I don’t want shitty coffee just because it claims to be Canadian. I’m annoyed that they use nationalism as a part of their branding and it’s pretty much the only thing that has held them up as their quality has gotten worse and worse in the last 20 or 30 years.
My mom worked at Tim’s when I was a kid, they made everything in house and fresh. I worked at Tim’s as a teenager, we made some stuff in house but mostly it came frozen and we reheated it in essentially giant microwaves. As I was leaving, even the muffins (which were the last of the ‘fresh’ items) were being switched to frozen garbage.
Then there was the whole thing with them losing their coffee contracts to McD’s - so McDonald’s actually had the better tasting Tim’s coffee and Tim Horton’s coffee got truly shit.
Idk sorry about the rant, I just truly do not see the value in that company.
Yeah all that is true. Their Canadian stuff pissed me off years ago, and I’m not at all shocked that they’re actually american.
