    Tom Hortons isn't like Starbucks at all. As alluded to, it's closer to Dunkin' Donuts but way more successful.

    There's even a Tim Hortons in Kandahar for the Canadian soldiers there.

        All the big powers bring their fastfood/comfort places along with them. It's usually a concession licenced out by the country's military Post Exchange (retail service).

              Generally speaking

              Tim Hortons > Starbucks

              but Second Cup > The Both of them

                No, Second Cup is too pricey.

                    Wait, you stay in a coffee shop? What are you, gay?

                    The key is to be in and out.

                        Tim Hortons sees Dunkin as its primary competitor. Their expansion into the US sort of fell flat on its face, so the stock I bought before the Wendy's spin-off tanked for a few months, but I'm back in the black now

                          If you don't move it in and out, it's not very fun.

                            But if you don't stay a while, you don't get to savour the moment.

                            Damn, I am gay

                              I use to spend hours a week in a coffee shop (more time than I spent in my office).

                              I even had a few girls I saw regularly and would hit on (sorta, I suck at that sort of thing)( I always screwed it up of course).

                              Of course, I agree, I don't feel like a place like Starbucks is a hangout site. The one I hung out in had free internet + books + pool (during some periods of time) + live bands (at times) + poetry (at times) + alcohol (at some periods of time) + etc.

                              It was pretty cool for a while.
