i like how the universally accepted setting for a coffee shop au is a slightly modified starbucks. what about a coffee shop au au where instead of starbucks… it’s tim hortons.

Because “I’ll have a large double double.” doesn’t fill a word count like “I’ll have a venti no-foam, half-caff, fat-free, soy latte with extra caramel drizzle.” does.

Better yet, regular Starbucks customer ends up in small town Saskatchewan and has to figure out how to order at a Tim Hortons.

I’ll have a venti…

Sorry, is that a large or an extra large?

Umm, extra large mocha…

Sorry, we don’t have that. We can get you a hot chocolate though.

Oh, I was looking for something cold umm…

Okay, Extra Large Ice Capp!

other Canadian variants:

– You are in Toronto. The competition between the four Starbucks and the seven Second Cup on the same street is strong. The new employee is a former Tim Horton’s barista who doesn’t know the fancy coffee terms but makes a mean sandwich.

– You are in Gatineau. Half of your regular speak french and the other half english. You learn to know which language to use by the thinking sound they make while looking at the menu

– You work at Niagara Falls. The customers keep trying to pay you with american money.

– You work in Montreal. You are the only barista on staff who speak english.

– VARIANT! You work in Montreal. You are the only barista on staff who speak french.
