Subject: Non white dude walks into a Tim Hortons to use the bathroom

Hello Friend,

A few years ago I was in a city just east of Toronto called Oshawa.

Call it the 'Detroit of Canada' if you will, at least that's what it used to be until well you know
China, Japan.

Found myself desperate to take a whiz, and pulled into a Tim Hortons coffee shop to do so.

Rushed in and in this particular Tim's you needed a key to access the washroom (to keep the junkies
and snorters out) so I asked for one. 

I was told that I had to buy something first and then only then would then give me the key.

Fine, no problem. I hastily paid for a coffee, and hustled to the bathroom.

And that's the point.

If you walk into a private business such as Tim Horton's or Starbucks for that matter and the  
rule is you gotta buy something in order to get the passcode key or key to use the bathroom
then just comply with the rules and things will be fine.

Unless of course you live in Philadelphia and you don't wanna play by the rules and you
want special treatment and are going to make a big noise if you don't get it.

It helps if you are a minority (let's pick black shall we?) because then you can cry racism if you
don't get your way.

And if you happen to be a  social justice warrior you are going to film the whole
thing on your camera phone and post it for all to see.

Now look, I'm not white and was not crying racism when I did not get the key to take
a whiz as desperate as I was in the Tim Horton's. They were not giving me the key
because I had not bought anything.  They likely did not give a whit was colour I was. 

I just followed the rules, and all was cool.   I had intended to buy a coffee anyway
 because I am addicted to the stuff.

Now here's a laugh for you: I walked into a Starbucks the other night in New York City,
and while I am not particularly fond of that brand because the coffee tastes awful and it's
overpriced it was the only joint open late near my hotel.

The guy handed me the coffee and said "On the house, sir" as I reached for my wallet.

Well, if Starbucks is wanting to give away Free coffee I am not saying no.

Hell, I wasn't even asking to use the bathroom.  WTF?

Guess the sensitivity training at Starbucks is working, No? 

And you my friend should not be saying NO to up to 40% Savings we have this weekend
only to celebrate the North Eastern Astronomy Forum (NEAF) on in New York.

Do not miss this offer and then cry like a baby after the fact:j
