The lineups say a lot of people still do. I honestly can't fathom why. Their donuts are no longer fresh baked onsite, their coffee is terrible since they lost their distributor to MacDonalds, and all the other food is terrible.

Because they're everywhere, and most are open 24 hours.

Plus, they still have name recognition simply due to existing for a very long time.

This is what I've been saying. It's market share.

If people collectively boycott the shitbox that is Tim's maybe they'd be forced to close some sites and give way to something new.

We need to revive or create a new Canadian coffee shop. There's so many areas for people in the space to capitalize if they can tap the market right and promote themselves.

Does lemmy or piefed have communities for BuyCanadian and promoting Canadian businesses?

/c/buyCanadian exists.

I don't know how to do insurance linking properly, but if that doesn't automatically work, here's another link: https://lemmy.ca/c/buycanadian

I believe lemmy uses exclamation mark for community links. Eg. !buycanadian@lemmy.ca
