About Sandbox

  • This is a place for a few people who work at a newspaper in Kitchener-Waterloo to share stories and pictures that wouldn't necessarily fit in newsprint.

    Think of Sandbox as an online magazine that collects extraneous journalism. If therecord.com was a DVD, we'd be the special features.

    Current contributors: David Bebee, Colin Hunter, Ben Gelinas, Chris Wilson-Smith, Karlo Berkovich, Ryan Chen-Wing, Dan Belgue and Amy Fuller.

Media gets Timbit woman her job back

This week a women in London was fired from Tim Hortons for giving a Timbit doughnut-hole to the child of a regular customer.

Lilliman, who has worked at the store for three years, said she thought little of the incident since Timbits are often doled out to dogs and children.

[...]

The Timbits given to pets, Mitchell added, are usually "day-old and recycled.''

So, district manager Mitchell is saying it is okay to give stale doughnuts to children?

It doesn't matter so much because the woman was rehired to a different Tim Hortons location.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened.

A friend from LondonOn told me that she knew a girl who got fired from a London Tim Hortons for having pink hair. She was subsequently rehired after the story got out.

So, if you get fired from a Tim Hortons for a bad reason, going to the newspapers might help.
