The implication that I don't go to Tim's because I don't want to be in proximity to or associated with blue collar workers is extremely offensive to me as a Canadian.

TIL that city bus drivers making $120k/yr, far more than the average office worker are considered 'blue collar'.

How typically Canadian to derive personal offense from a discussion that made no mention of you.

Why'd you say up north then?

Well, because I'm Canadian and Tim's is predominantly a Canadian franchise/brand, and my views reflect experiences in Canada.

Cool. Same. Glad we agree that the "discussion" made mention of Canadians then. Have a good one.
