Canada, you SO confuse me

Even though literally a quarter of my living relatives live in your lovely city of Toronto, I know nothing of your culture, especially this word, Timbit. And even finding out the meaning (donut hole), I fear you have picked up some management practices from your neighbors down south: fire first, ask questions later. You really can’t buy PR this bad. And, as always with a story from Consumerist, the comments are quite funny, including some folks waiting for the first person to blame the victim, a popular Consumerist commenter practice.

    Well, at least she got her job back. That sounds like one store manager out of control.

    There are no panaceas out there, are there?

    For the good times I’ve had in Canada, I also recall the attitude of the smarmy customs agent who snapped at my sister when our family visited because she didn’t produce her passport fast enough for his liking.
