The First Sign of Canadian Spring....rrrrrrroll up the rrrrrrrrim (merged topic)

I've had about 5 coffee's last week and not once did I win, not even a cookie!

 

[Bzzliteyr]

Another free coffee!!

Charity does not seem to help winning these days.  : I brought coffee/tea to 9er's work and now I am 0/23. This is one of my worst years.

Seems that a few KAFers have won a couple of laptops....EACH.

sigh...

Sounds like they sent all the winning cups to KAF.  Glad I hardly buy Tim's anymore.  :

 

[Teflon]

YES!

Didn't win a laptop, but I've been invited to try again!

They keep asking me to come back........Haven't seen a free coffee or cookie or donut or whatever yet.  Must be that guy behind me in the line that is getting all the prizes.

I'm doing o.k. i have won 3 coffees, 2 donuts, 1 cookie out of i don't know how manny coffees, my wife won a $100 tim card

the most luck i have ever had was at the casino in January, won $5163 on a progressive 5cent machine, while the attendant was getting my money i played a machine same game but two down and won another $5300, after that money i went to the $5 dollar machine and won $2000 then i called it quites. 

I only went in with $500 so i think i did well 

 

[Bzzliteyr]

And what casino might that be at so I can profit from their algorithm generosities?

 

[kratz]

Finally a winner. I had to change the size in the coffee order, but it worked. Now standing at 2/28 this year. It's still a poor performance compared to past years.

I read this on another BLOG. If this is true, it's a warning for others:

I present my tab, which thanks to my rim roller says only "n/Gagne Café/Coff" ...

Cashier: Sorry sir, we cannot accept that because all the words are not there.
Me: Has never been a problem before
Cashier: Sorry sir, those are the rules
Me: Can I see a supervisor?
Supervisor: Sorry sir, because some people will rip a tab in two and try to claim two prizes, unless all the words are there we cannot accept your tab.
Me: Really? Someone would present you a tab that says "Wi" or "ee" and you would honor that?
Supervisor: Not anymore
Me: But I clearly have portions of all the words.
Supervisor: Sorry sir (and walks away)
Me: (to cashier) Is there a manager on duty?
Cashier (lowers voice): Okay, I'll give it to you, but just this once.

If it is official policy to present the entire French/English portion of the rim, one would expect it to be mentioned in the rules.

There isn't really an official policy on accepting these... what happened in this quote was probably just a Timmies employee afraid of breaking a rule and being reprimended.

Way back when toonies were introduced (not that you're old enough to remember that) ... there actually were asshats attempting to break them and claim 4 bucks for the 2 bits.  :

I've no doubt that Timmies customers have tried to claim 2 prizes by ripping a "winner" in two. Albeit due to the complete rip-off that it seems to be getting year after year - prizes certainly seem to be fewer and further in between than they once were.

I've been a loyal Timmies customer for years and once used to go out of my way to get a Timmies during roll-up-the-rim ... There'll be no more of that occuring given the last couple of years.

People do go through a lot of trouble to try to cheat their way into gaining essentially nothing. Every here and again at work I can hear the girls out front telling customers (who will often become quite irate) that their 'roll up' tab isn't from Tim Horton's.. they try to use Robins Donuts, or Dunkin's to get a free coffee.
That's when I laugh, pour myself a free coffee and go make more donuts while drinking the free coffee.

So far I'm 2 for 8.  Both coffees but I'll take what I can get.  Still kind of hoping for that laptop or the $$$

 

[George Wallace]

Today I finally won something besides an invite to try again.  Anyone want a donut?  I don't particularly need a fat pill.

 

[JBoyd]

Well this year all I have won is 2 coffee's, which is ironic when its my wife that likes the coffee and not me really.

I was old enough then to remember sitting on the back porch with a hammer and a toonie trying to seperate the pieces so I would have enough for two bags of chips at the Irving.

I'm not sure what's going on but I'm golden this year.  Last Tuesday I went 3 for 3 with my coffee purchases (granted it was all free donut/coffe wins).  On Thursday i won another free coffee and yesterday I won again. 
I think since the promotion started i have bought maybe 10 or 12 cups of coffee from TH and of that 6 have been winners.

 

[Bzzliteyr]

Was in Ottawa/Gatineau this weekend (well, Sunday night and Monday) and I left the province of ONTARIO with one coffee and a donut on three purchases!!

Now try to tell me there is no conspiracy theory to be had!!
