Lady Fired Over a Timbit? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. leanneg (116)   ranked 704 out of 1,597 in coffee3 months ago

In Montreal this week a lady was fired from her job at Tim Horton's for giving a baby a free timbit. Ok a timbit is 17 cents and the company is worried about losing money?!?! They gave her a job at another location after many complaints. Ok they think this such a big problem my friend used to work at Tim Horton's and she used to sell us coffees for the price of a timbit which is worse...I refused my coffee from her but she never got fired.

Do you think the lady should have got fired for giving away a 17 cent timbit or do you think if she sold someone something on the menu for the price of a timbit then that would be a reason to fire her?

Sorry, for being nieve, but what is a Timbit??

Haha no problem it's a small round donut. Lol.

ok, that helps! Sounds good, too! It's to bad she "lost" her job over one, though. I probably would have done the same thing she did for the baby. If jobs aren't hard to find where she lives, I might consider finding a different one to not have to work for a boss like that everyday!

I understand the company has policies. But their policies are there for completely different reasons. They are for theiving or otherwise, employees who take advantage of the workplace.

This woman, was being a woman. She gave a timbit to a baby. 17 cents....

I think this is a little bit far, to move her to another location. Couldn't they just explain they didn't want her giving away a product without receiving their money? And leave it at that?

The fact is that it wasn't hers to give away nor was it her place to change the prices. If she wanted to give the baby the Tiimbit what she could have done was bought it for the baby out of her own pocket then they wouldn't have any grounds to fire her her. As for changing the price of the coffee to that of a 17 cent Timbit it is the same as stealing whether she sees it as that or not.

The lady who got fired didn't change prices like my friend did but either one was not responsible. I totally agree with you she shouldn't have gave the baby the donut unless she planned to pay for it. As for my friend if she worked for me she would be fired.

She should not have been fired...it's 17 cents...it's not like the company will go out of business or something....when I go through with my friend and his dog, they always give us a free timbit for the dog when they see her sitting there wagging her tail and I dont think any of them ever got fired.
