Could life get any better?
I decided to wake up with a Tim Hortons coffee before my body pump class. Sure enough, I REALLY WOKE UP when I saw this sign: We accept Interact/Debit Now. Thanks.
HOW AWESOME IS THAT?
I immediately got out my iPhone and tweeted: Great News: Tim Hortons now accepting Interac and Debit cards. Within an hour – there were 10 replies: “thats the best news” “what took them so long” “Ive been complaining about that for years” “I don’t have to read the Sunday paper anymore” “finally, for real, would have been helpful in uni”, “for real?” etc etc etc.
There were only two comments that this might slow down the lines. But generally everyone was THRILLED.
Later in the day, I returned to take a photo of the sign and asked to speak to the owner. The nephew of the owner returned my call, and told me that at the moment the six stores they operate/own, now have these signs but in about 2 weeks, 90 percent of the stores will be converted too.
The location of those six stores: Bathurst/Drewry, Promenade Food Court, Wilson Heights/Shepherd, Yonge/John St, Yonge/Steeles, Bathurst and Finch!
However a friend told me that the Tim Hortons at Victoria Square in Richmond Hill also accepted Interac.
Bottom Line: go visit your local Tim Hortons!!
Enjoy this new service. I know I will.
Excellent, now during the morning line up will allows to enjoy looking at those perfectly circular donuts a bit longer :).
This will be mucho helpful once I start commuting downtown daily next week! oh and giving up life as a server means my change purse will be MUCH lighter from now on! hehehe:)
Hope this happens downtown. There is no financial argument for them to not offer this to customers. The monthly terminal fee is a drop in the proverbial bucket for the cash cow known as a Tim Horton’s franchise. Waiting for the domino effect to head south of St. Clair, lol! Thanks for the news.
That is awesome! I just hope that people remember that a service like this takes a bit more time. Lines will be a bit longer and people will need to be more patient.
Wow this is a great resource.. I’m enjoying it.. good article
great post, thanks for sharing
