Ryan I believe that you have the ability to remove comments from here? It might be a good idea to do so for Capitalist. His/her statements full under libel and are absolutely not covered by fair comment and open him/her up to a serious lawsuit should Jason choose to do so.

I really dislike those drive thru only Tim Hortons. I live by all three kinds ov Tims and refuse to visit the drive thru ones. I have found that the simple act of stopping in at the shop and having a quick chat with the people behind the counter has developed into some interesting relationships and opportunities I'd never have had before. I recall being at the Tims at the corner of Fruitland and Barton (speaking of sprawl lol) and hearing the owner comment about wanting to add a drive thru. When I got to the cash, after seeing several customers chat with her and the other people inside, I mentioned that while the store might be able to serve more people, in all likelihood those relationships would not have been able to come about.

In our society, we seem to emphasize the "quick and easy" forgetting that what might be quick and easy in the short term and great for the bottom line (think a McDonald's 1/4 pounder combo) is quite often not a good thing. It's about time we learn to slow down and smell the roses and quit bowing down to the almighty dollar.
