Expense claim denied

Marchant, who is self-employed, filed a claim with Tim Hortons in the hopes it would assist her in covering the costs of her medical supplies.

But a letter from ClaimsPro, the adjustor for the coffee chain, states: "Our investigation has found no liability on our insured [Tim Hortons]. As such we are respectfully denying your request for compensation."

But he was out of his element...being in Canada and all!

The moment a Canadian says "Tim Hortons" I can't help but laugh hysterically. I'm sure that's somehow "trolling" or "floundering" and am sincerely not sorry.

There are currently no regulations governing the temperatures of hot beverages at restaurants — something the Marchants wants to see.

There are rules already, water generally be no hotter than 100 deg C.

Which, you realize of course, is boiling - hot enough to cause third degree burns.

Not that I am sympathizing too strongly with the plaintiff.

In reply to Nathan JansenvanDoorn:

The folks that own Wendys also own Tim Hortons.

Possibly. But now I'm busy thinking about a certain "gingerbushed bacon provider", so I'm not likely to get it any time soon.
