I was going to go into a rant this morning about the corporate thieves at Tim Horton's, but after doing some juggling and recalculating, I have finally figured out how they managed to sneak that extra cent into the cost of my coffee and muffin.  It's only a penny, but it's still a penny to which they were not entitled.  I did some quick math, and with their rather creative rounding, I estimate (rather conservatively) that they are netting themselves a cool $1000,000.00 a year in free money.

Don't forget to party it up tomorrow in celebrating Earth's 6000th birthday.  OK, so maybe technically that happened in 1997 - the same way that the new millennium actually started in 2001.  Just get out there and party like it's 5999. (This fun fact compliments of [profile] unciaa)

I was surprised to find that Tim Hortons and Wendy's are owned by the same company.
