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.

I would like to find her a completely new job.

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.
