    Happened at my work today.

    Poor guy thought he won a boat and everything… few minutes later two other people got the same notice and showed him lol

    Why do they even exist as a company anymore. Just utter garbage stop going to this place. 

    Go to a local cafe, support actual Canadian business instead of this scam.

  3. A winner is a winner. It’s not fair this rich company gets to technically backtrack. Agree with another opinion, bring back the rim. I don’t trust “their systems.”

    😂 every year has an error whenever someone wins. Go back to rolling up the actual rim

    How are you ever suppose to believe them than ? Oops Srry you didn’t win technical error digital draws and lotteries are bull

    I personally would be glad to find out I didn’t win a boat.

    Never own your own boat but always have a friend who does.

    Simple solution…go back to paper roll up rims. The online version sucks horribly.

    They deserve to get sued. As stated in the article, this shit happened last year too. 

    Even if it’s an “honest mistake”, this shit needs to be locked down, because fuck if that can’t be distressing to think you’ve won something of incredible value only to find out it was a glitch, and it erodes any confidence in whether the odds of the game are properly calculated and presented to the consumer. 

    But every company wants an app and digital presence while cutting every possible corner in QA. Fuck ‘em.

    Listen up arseholes, just bring back the bread bowel and stop putting random shit on your menu, you are not a burger or pizza joint

    Go back to the actual rim on the cup. It was fun in a dark world! FML. All the good shit gets cancelled. Maybe they will after this debacle.

    Old school timmies needs to come back. Baked fresh. Better coffee. Open all night.

    An American conglomerate takes over and it’s dog shit.

    When they went digital for roll-up the rim I bailed. All they wanted was the data scrape fuck that

    I want the heroin high of finding a free coffee and turning it into a week of free coffees. I wonder how badly their sales dipped after they went digital.

    McDonald’s coffee is better and cheaper.
