- retr0grade, on 05/11/2008, -9/+394dug for insane pic which has nothing to do with the story :-D
- DeskFlyer, on 05/11/2008, -3/+187She got her job back. But still, that was a pretty ***** move for something so trivial.
- tehbored, on 05/11/2008, -6/+161"16 Canadian cents (16 U.S. cents)" :(
- MisteryMeat, on 05/11/2008, -9/+152I'd hate to see you when those Libtard kids come looking for handouts on Halloween. Do you stuff job applications in their bags?
- dumbasshit, on 05/11/2008, -3/+147I checked out her facebook pic and she's holding a timbit - http://www.image.gostshare.com/files/y69k0o2ny5gt3 ...
- anonm, on 05/11/2008, -2/+102Why are you digging "*****" down? He found an image of the actual worker! He obviously takes digg very seriously and "*****" is a valued member of our community.
- StigNordas, on 05/11/2008, -5/+101The chain should have fired the manager instead.
- 40yrOldVirgin, on 05/11/2008, -11/+90Shouldn't you be in Iraq, looking for WMD, wise man?
- thedragon4453, on 05/11/2008, -7/+79I manage a restaurant and I encourage this type of thing on two conditions:
1. You have the permission of the Parents. You don't know what allergens the kid as, or if the parents want the kids to have a ton of sugar, etc.
2. It somehow gets recorded for inventory purposes. - sk11, on 05/11/2008, -7/+75Yeah, all these stupid ***** people giving free stuff to kids. Good thing your mum and dad ran a tab system.
- whatthefu, on 05/11/2008, -1/+66If this wasn't in the news I wonder if they still would've given her job back.
- MikeonTV, on 05/11/2008, -3/+65C'mon guys! Her shift just started! Free food!!!
- wes00mertes, on 05/11/2008, -2/+57Guantanamo Bay: The Musical
- dizavin, on 05/11/2008, -10/+68actually, as of today its: $0.16 CAN ($0.15 US)
- shirosamurai, on 05/11/2008, -2/+56It takes a real kind of delusional ***** to turn something like this into a left vs. right issue.
- flossdaily, on 05/11/2008, -3/+59She SHOULDN'T have had to pay for the treat. By virtue of her employment she's been empowered to act as an agent of the company. It is unreasonable to assume that the scope of that agency wouldn't include ability to exchange an extremely low-value item to promote a more pleasant shop atmosphere.
- IanPR, on 05/11/2008, -1/+50She got her job back, but at a different Tim Hortons. And they're not bite sized donuts. Theyre TIMBITS DAMNIT!
- Flump5000, on 05/11/2008, -1/+53thats her at work.
- sk11, on 05/11/2008, -3/+54And what exactly is the difference between a random stranger giving something to you for free and a friend or relative doing the same thing? It's still a form of charity.
You think she's a skank because she acted compassionately for a baby, troll? - saxreturns, on 05/11/2008, -6/+52...and you sir are a typical loudmouth retard, in that you turn everything that happens as an excuse to push your own moronic political agenda.
(that's not a dig at all you conservatives by the way... I know real, reasonable conservatives would hate to be associated with this oxygen thief.) - AlexBellisBrown, on 05/11/2008, -6/+53Stevanoski was banned from having children. Because his kids would have no fun. Ever.
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -2/+49Nobody likes you.
- lucidguru, on 05/11/2008, -4/+47She did indeed get her job back http://lfpress.ca/newsstand/News/Local/2008/05/09/ ...
- sulthernao, on 05/11/2008, -4/+50USA, USA, USA!!!
- bitterbug, on 05/11/2008, -0/+39The owner of the store rehired her at another location as he didn't have a problem with her actions either, but didn't want to put her in a position where she had to go back to work under the same manager.
- iDiggIt42, on 05/11/2008, -3/+44Look, I'm a conservative too, but will you shut the ***** up already? It's people like you who give the rest of us bad names.
- infinityredux, on 05/11/2008, -2/+40You can't just go around wasting Timbits. Come on
- Nhmarine, on 05/11/2008, -2/+34erm... just take it out of her paycheck...
- dizavin, on 05/11/2008, -4/+35dude, its sixteen cents. stop being such a girl.
- takamalak, on 05/11/2008, -4/+34No, it was because no woman would have him.
- flossdaily, on 05/11/2008, -0/+30of course not.
- sourc3, on 05/11/2008, -1/+33Inventory purposes? It was one timbit with a retail value of $0.16. Cost to Tim Hortons? Lets assume $0.08 cost to Tim Hortons.
Assuming the lady working there for three years is making $8/hr. $8/hr is $0.13/minute. To record a single tidbit will likely take 30-45 seconds (pull up sheet, record information, save sheet, return to location) meaning the cost to Tim Hortons for the employee to record the timbit is essentially the cost of the Timbit itself.
Now, I can of course see/understand the principle of the thing, but I don't think a method for keeping track of small items like that would be cost effective and/or worthwhile unless there was a tremendous amount of loss that was becoming obvious. - sourc3, on 05/11/2008, -6/+37Buried for having been news a few days ago when it was all over the internet. Is Digg falling behind the times?
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -3/+31It takes a real moron like you to somehow link this article to being a "liberal." Jesus some people are idiots.
- socivitus, on 05/11/2008, -2/+32How could her boss get so mad over a little donut in the first place is the question. Good to know that she got it back though
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -4/+32I'm afraid to learn more about politics because i don't want to end up being a douchebag that can't say anything without liberal, republican, conservative...basically any of those words that scream "i'm an obnoxious moron!" 90% of the time. Save it for actual political issues. I'm sure you can find a ***** of semi-legitimate places to talk about Obama and Hillary and all of that other *****. Take a break.
- Nedly79, on 05/11/2008, -1/+29actually, $0.16 CAN = $0.159127 US, so when rounded = $0.16 US
- AlexBellisBrown, on 05/11/2008, -0/+27Looks like Guantanamo Bay.
- Skitals, on 05/11/2008, -3/+29Funny, cause when I worked in a bagel shop, I probably would have gotten fired if I did NOT offer one of the mini bagels to the kiddos.
I just realized that made me sound like a pedo.
I just made it worse.
***** - heresy_fnord, on 05/11/2008, -3/+26Stevanoski, you're a typical asshat.
- Bouncybanana, on 05/11/2008, -3/+26she said she was going to get change but was busy with customers, arsehole. it's not like she asked the restaurant to pay for it
- Drahkar, on 05/11/2008, -4/+28I thought it was because we might end up with clones of him.
- fxu1989, on 05/11/2008, -0/+20America! You *****!
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -2/+21America! ***** yeah!
- circaxxxx, on 05/11/2008, -10/+30I don't know what this is aboot.
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -1/+21America ***** you!
- doctechnical, on 05/11/2008, -1/+22There's one very important detail missing in this story: Did she have the permission of the parent/guardian to give the kid the donut? I thought she was fired over the liability issue of giving a kid something they might be allergic to. If the donut had peanuts and the kid suffered an allergic attack - kiss the franchise goodbye, kids.
- iDiggIt42, on 05/11/2008, -3/+19Maybe it's because I choose to keep my political views to myself instead of forcing them down other people's throats, particularly in non-politically oriented comment threads?
- dasdef, on 05/11/2008, -3/+19you do not speak foul of homer simpson!!
- Evazan21, on 05/11/2008, -1/+18I worked at a Dunkin Donuts and gave a munchkin to just about every other kid that came in. It made both the kid happy and the parent more likely to come back due to friendly service. If Tim Hortons is anything like dunkin donuts they through away 100's of them every day anyway. It is nowhere near a "bad precedent" for a company to establish.
