So, I heard from someone at work that the Second Cup at Richmond and Spadina is shutting down, and in its place a Tim Hortons will open. Now, I pass by this Second Cup daily on my way to work from the streetcar. When I pass by it, I don’t think I’ve ever felt the urge to go inside to get a drink in the morning. I tried buying a chai latte there once, and it wasn’t all that great–it was heavy on the spice grit.
When I mention the switch to some people at work, I tend to spike the conversation with “this is not a good thing!” Inevitably, they ask if I’ve got a problem with Tim’s. Oh, on the contrary. Are you kidding me?
Right now, the closest TH is about a few minutes away from work (Dundas and Spadina). It’s close, but I still have to go out of my way to get there. When I decide that I want to drop by, it’s usually only when I’m really wanting something from there. It’s not really a spontaneous thing, so I really haven’t gone there all that much. So, if there’s a TH that’s on the way to work that’s all too conveniently placed, I might be tempted to drop by daily to buy…something.
That’s why it’s not a good thing. Will power!
