^^ Right on!

Hope you've got the cash for all the necessities till you find another job. Fuck those soulsucking parasites. At least you got to keep your integrity and were straight up with saying what you feel. All the best anyways

Glad to hear that you managed to get out of that shithole!

Shame that you couldn't have left on your own steam, but still - that place was not doing anything good for your health. Good luck job hunting!

That doesn't really mean there are still chemicals in the bean even IF they used a chemical process.


"European Process

Most decaf coffees are made using a chemical process first used in Europe. This process involves soaking the beans in water and then "washing" them in methylene chloride to absorb the caffeine from the bean. After this, the beans are rinsed clean of the chemicals, dried and shipped to the coffee roasters. The advantage of this method is that it provides decaf coffee with more flavor than the Swiss water processing. Although there is virtually no trace of any chemicals left in the bean after roasting, some people are uncomfortable knowing that the coffee they are drinking was chemically processed.

Swiss Water Process

The second method is known as "Swiss water processing". This process uses no chemicals, but rather hot water and steam to remove the caffeine from the coffee. The "life" of the bean is taken into the water, and then the water solution put through activated charcoal filters to remove the caffeine. Once the caffeine is removed, these same beans are then put back into the decaffeinated solution to re-absorb everything except the caffeine. The beans are then dried and shipped to the roasters. The disadvantage is that the water processing removes more than just the caffeine. Some of the oils from the coffee bean are removed as well, making it less flavorful.

I think letting you get to the end of the probationary period is a joke, maybe the company is purposely hiring people for short periods of time to get cheap labor without providing benefits. Fucking leeches. Good luck.

It's Tim Hortons...they're infamous for cheap-ass shit like that. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

It's true. I know a girl (my boyfriends ex actually) who worked there until just before her probation was up and she got fired for "not smiling enough". :D

A few more positive things to getting fired: I realize that I put too much thought into having a job and making money that I forgot about how much I love life. Today has been awesome, just looking at everything and seeing how great and important it is to me.

Also I convinced my dad to boycott Tim Hortons just so he'd stop spending ten bucks a day on the stuff. he's so addicted.

If you need coffee, like me, be a responsible drinker for pete's sake.

Drink FAIR TRADE!
Drink ORGANIC!



Good Luck to you Miss M:)
