So yesterday evening, my daughter asked if we could all walk over to the Tim Hortons near our home and have a coffee. It�s not very often the teen wants to hang out with us old fogies, so we happily agreed. But when we got there, the store was closed, even though the employees were inside. There was a sign up stating that they were doing some maintenance, and would be temporarily closed from 6 � 9 PM. It was 8:40. So we decided to walk around and waste some time until they reopened. We found a picnic table at a business nearby and sat down. And that�s when I noticed other people peeking in the store�s window. Walking away disappointed. But not leaving. They were hanging around like us. Waiting. Watching. Lurking.
Like Zombies.
For those of you who don�t know, Tim Hortons is a huge business in Canada.
HUGE. It is our largest fast food service with stores everywhere.
Everywhere.
We are addicted to the coffee it offers. And the occasional contests.
Canadians flock there. On foot. In cars. On horseback...
It is a cultural icon. And when the zombie apocalypse happens, well...
Tim Hortons even ends up in news headlines...
And it's the first stop of every trip...
Yeah, us Canucks really love this place. And we were glad when it finally opened last night so we could get our Timmies fix.
Aside from my Canadian friends, do you know of this place?
