196Hey, 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 already heavily avoid buying from there, but now I have good reason to never set foot in one again. Thanks for the heads up!
I already boycott it so much that I don't even use the 2 or 3 gift cards sitting in my junk drawer still full as when they were given to me.
Use them. They earn even more money if you don't. But don't spend anything more.
The problem with using them is the food is such absolute garbage that indont want to eat it. I used to use them to buy donuts for work but I haven't had a crew of people that I work with to get them for.
Soon I'm starting a new job and there will be a team of guys that I'll be supervising and I will bribe them with treats to get on their good side.
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.
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.
One time I was walking past Krispy Kreme, and I wanted a donut. So I looked in, and saw they were running a Harry Potter promotion. I went in and complained to the cashier that those promo signs are inappropriate, because Harry Potter is racist. The cashier gave Me a free donut.
So it worked. You’re now in here advertising for the company.
Nah, fuck Krispy Kreme. I hope they go bankrupt. I'm out here advertising the cute donut cashier with purple hair.
I'm pretty sure free donuts is like kk's thing to get you to like them.
And everyone clapped!
(I do believe you, I just think this snarky remark would be funny)
The cashier gave Me a free donut.
donutus freeziosa!
I'll do you one even better. Timmy's has been on my shitlist since I went there and had, no question, the worst coffee in my life. This is what Canadians say is so great?
This is what Canadians say is so great?
No, most of us hate it too. They just spend an insane amount of money on marketing themselves as all-Canadian which is funny considering they're not even a Canadian company anymore.
No, we don't.
We don't like it either
Tim Horton's people dilute the shit coffee with dairy and sugar to kill the taste. It's coffee for people who hate coffee.
All the Canadians I know also said that their donuts have gone to shit a few years ago
But the franchises are everywhere and those fucking red cups are everywhere,
I'll make a sign and stand outside one, at least to try to make sure people are informed.
