Huh?

Once again I will blog about Tim Horton's.

Today was a busy day we had two appointments for Ted. This morning it was the Oncology department for Ted's Ultrasound and blood work.

While he had his weekly lunch date with our son Ron, I vacuumed the house. This afternoon he had an appointment with his Neurologist. Because we had no time for tea I took my small travel mug to pick up a coffee.

At the drive through we asked for a medium coffee ($1.29, we were told) with cream and sugar on the side. In front of the window I asked them to put the coffee in my mug. When it was time to pay it was now $1.70. I wanted to know why, her answer was: "Because it is your mug!" I commented that I thought that was silly. Since we were in a hurry, we let it go. I decided that now I was being punished for being "green", there was after all no cup and lid involved. All the coffee I got was barely one cup. can we all say: "HUH?"

I guess the next time I will put the coffee in the travel mug!

that's super weird. Starbucks gives you 10 cents off if you use your own cup.

They clearly made a mistake, because every morning I go to Tim's and get a coffee in my cup, and they give me 10 cents off...

Well next time I'll buy the coffee in their cup and pour it into my travel mug!
But what amazes me most of all is the way they look at you!
Thanks though, both Rene and Monica for your comments, at least you make ME feel I am not so strange after all, hahaha!

That is so strange. I had first thought that maybe they charge more because they don't know how big your mug is compared to their cups and they are not about to measure it out.
But then I read the other comments and now it doesn't make much sense.
I hope the coffee was good any ways.

Thank you again for looking after the kids for the night. It was an absolute treat for us!
