And pretty much anywhere else in the world aside from your own house. Even then, you should probably still do it so you don't have to clean up your own tracking.

Betonhaus:
I need to clarify something: NOBODY in Canada who paid attention will say Tim Horton's is better than Dunkin' Donuts. In fact, it's worse then McDonalds now.

Of course way back when it used to be good, and had several community programs going to increase engagement. But then it was sold to Brazilian Restaurants International, who then applied many cost-cutting measures. Thise measures includes a) replacing freshly baked donuts and pastries with reheated ones that come frozen from the factory b) giving up it coffee supplier contract for a cheaper one that tastes nasty (McDonalds now uses the old supplier, which is why their coffee is excellent in Canada) c) changing how much control franchises have, and making it actually difficult for them to maintain quality

On a similar note, I stop buying anything from or going to a place that I know has been bought out by a private equity firm.  I know that if it hasn’t already, the quality is going to go down the shitter.

Near Lurker:
Oh, my... has Yay discovered limerence?

Also the franchisees are notorious for hiring temporary foreign workers, and treating them like indentured serfs in order to keep payroll levels down, and boosting their profits.
