On Monday, May 14th, at least one Tim Hortons employee earned employee of the month. And a month off of work. The employee at the Canadian chain exhibited calm and collected behavior despite the animalistic actions of a woman that grew furious over not being able to use the bathroom.
So today at a Tim Hortons 20 mins away from me this happened…. pic.twitter.com/6aPRSu1w1M

When denied use of the facilities, the woman did what any sane individual would do – she dropped her pants and did her business on the floor in front of the employee. Oh, but she didn’t leave it at that. Like a caged monkey at a zoo, she then picked up her feces and flung them over the cash wrap. Remember, we’re talking about a human being.
Security footage of the incident of course found its way onto the internet and, despite being deleted off YouTube, was immortalized forever on Twitter. The 40-second clip shows the visibly irate woman yelling at the Hortons employee before doing her business. When the employee tries to stop her, a phone to his ear with the police likely on the other line, he doesn’t let her get the best of him.
POPS: You see that lady that threw her shit at the Tim Horton's employee?
ME: Yeah
POPS: That's why people shouldn't have guns.#TimHortons— For Foxx Sake (@MrKevinFoxx) May 17, 2018
While some may question why he couldn’t just let her use the bathroom, Hortons has a policy in place that restricts access “to ensure the well-being of [its] guests.” If that answer doesn’t quell the debate of whether the employee should have broken policy for her sake, it’s worth noting that he also refused access due to the woman’s “past behavior” and “out of concern for the immediate safety” of other patrons.
Judging by the video, he may have made the right choice.
I have a few thoughts regarding this incident that recently happened in a local town… in brief a woman pooped in a coffee shop and threw it at someone… full story AND VIDEO here…thoughts to follow: https://t.co/X8RlhaH8Ff

One of the funnier aspects to this story really has nothing to do with what unfolded at the Langley location, but rather the reaction on Twitter. Clearly, there is no love loss for Tim Hortons.

Tim Hortons slings shit across its counters for decades and nobody bats an eye
One lady slings shit back the other way and it's a big huge deal #TimHortons @TimHortons

It's the first “fresh” item behind a Tim Hortons counter in years https://t.co/2veLyZ2S5D

I guess she was trying to convey and construe the exact type of service many Canadians have recently been receiving from Tim Hortons LOL https://t.co/HjxTK8X82v

The woman was detained and later released by Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Langley, British Columbia, but her name has yet to be released.
If you’re looking for the positive spin on this story, consider this: at least she wiped.
