I know I’ve ranted to a few people about this one in person, but the residents of St. John’s, Newfoundland have a serious addiction to Tim Horton’s coffee; so much so that it is creating a traffic issue around the drive-thru’s. It is at its worst in the morning, but seems to be an issue no matter what time of day. Drive-thru lineups wrap around the building, through the parking lot, and out into the street! You can easily wait in the linuep for 30 minutes to order a coffee!
Anyway, according to the Globe and Mail, city council is beginning to take matters into their own hands to try and remedy the situation, saying they are looking at a number of solutions including ticketing motorists who are blocking traffic! I don’t think that is the right way to go, they need to be working with the business owners to solve the traffic problem at their establishments.
