Tim Hortons Gets All Phisticated

This may change everything:

Starting next week the iconic national chain will begin offering customers espresso, lattes and brewed-on-the-spot cappuccinos, all made from sophisticated machines that have been quietly been making their way into Tim’s outlets across Canada.

Seriously.  Their regular stuff is the coffee version of that wine you buy in big plastic bags.  Why not aspire to something a little more upmarket?  The question is, how will the new and old clienteles get on?  Will truckers and conceptual artists lie down together, or will there be fighting in the aisles? 

And I wonder if the espresso will be any cheaper then the competition's?  Every mall I go to, its exactly $2.63.  C'mon Timmys, lets have a bean war.

Up Yours, Chuck

I actually drink tea, and can't stand quiche, but nevertheless I am not prepared to have my patriotism questioned by some peon from the foothills outside of Gooberton with hayseed in his beard.

PS. We all know what you mean by "upscale coffee shops"; I really don't understand why Conservative pundits insist on dividing Canadians based on their choice of caffeinated beverage. And you know, while Mr. Harper officially promotes the coffee der volk, when he comes to T.O. he's been seen drinking the homosexual stuff. It even looks like he enjoys it.
