I think they did this so that the giving out change part would be alot easier for there retarded employees.

Morons cant even make a tea or coffee right nevermind give out change.

simple addition/subtraction skills should be part of a test to work at a timmies...

altho if that was the case they'd probably never get anyone to work there

why didnt they think of this sooner?

i've never had an issue with getting change back, but i've had MANY improperly made coffees...MANY...even after i say what i want very clearly. i mean c'mon, how hard can it be? once in a while i could understand, but like say 30% of the time? c'mon!

30% is generous.

More like 50/50.

Half of the time wrong, half good.

MC plus? they take just regular MC...I don't think it takes much to get one...

I use my credit card there all the time now, coins suck...

in fact I use my credit card everywhere I can, its cheaper, in fact they pay me to use it (Canadian tire money) where as cash/debit I'd have to pay (transaction fees, bank fees, etc)...

Personally I'd have an issue giving people my money BEFORE i've receieved my product or service... i dont' worry about CC because your'e covered for fraud and stuff etc..

but giving them my 20 bucks BEFORE I get anything? ... so they can make interest with my money and I have less buying power now? ... no thanks..

with CC you have 28 days or whatever interest free so that goes even further in the other direction... I got to borrow 20 bucks for free for a month and don't have to pay any interest on it... sweet deal.

not a cash advance. he means pay by credit card and pay the bill in full before the due date. that's what i do too...you can collect lots of points if you pay everything by cc.

points are only good if you use ur credit card a lot and if those points go towards things you pay for anyway.

cash back is good too.

only if your previous month's invoice has been completely paid off. in some cases..previous two month's bills should be paid before you get that grace period.

and i agree...they will be making money off of those balances sitting on the cards plus...a fair amount of these dollars will never be redeemed for coffee..lol
