NEW.BRUNSWICK (CBC) - A coffee enthusiast in St. Andrews, N.B., has learned the customer may not always be right.

After complaining three times about "burnt" decaffeinated coffee at the local Tim Hortons, Jimmy Craig is now banned for life from that outlet and the one in nearby St. Stephen.


"It was like brown, burnt water," said Craig. "I almost, you know, got sick in the sink."


Craig said he voiced his concerns to the store manager and corporate office, then got a meeting with the owner, Edwin Dow.


That's when Dow served Craig with a letter banning him under the province's trespass act.


"I was baffled," said Craig. "It didn't make any sense at all. All I wanted to do was bring it to his attention that there was a problem with the consistency of his product.


"I don't see this is a way to treat people. Whatever happened to the customer is always right?"


Dow contends his staff went the extra mile to satisfy Craig, brewing fresh pots of decaf on request.


He said Craig was upsetting his staff and he was tired of his complaints, so he banned him.


Craig has contacted a lawyer to try to get the ban overturned.


Meanwhile, he can only return to Tim's if he's on the job as a paramedic, responding to a medical emergency.


So he's brewing his own coffee at home, which, he said, is cheaper and always fresh.

What kind of coffee enthusiast drink at Timmy's? decaf too

[syee]

Good for the owner. If someone was harassing my employees, I'd tell them to GTFO too. Seriously, if he doesn't like the coffee, he should take his business elsewhere. I'm all for people complaining for a better product/service but how annoying do you have to be to get banned from a store?

[acurael]

Lol. Fuck this guy. Good they banned him. If the guy had an issue with the coffee why not go elsewhere. This guy is obviously some annoying loser since he took time out of his day to meet up with timmys head office. Its a warm drink for gods sake. Its not like he bought a car or something or something valuable. Man if I ruled the world and he was harassing the staff over a dollar coffee I would spill the coffee in his face and watch burn....lol. And then piss on him. Buts that's just me I guess

[Mizter]

Yup steeped tea ftw:thumbsup:

[rsx]

Who drinks decaf? wth.

[snowball]

punchline at the end lol

[carisear]

'the customer is always right' is such bullshit. after working retail part time for almost 10 years, i've seen enough instances where the customer is not only wrong, but is clearly just trying to screw a big company over to get something for free, or to feel like they are important.

[TekDragon]

power to the people!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fucking corporations!!!!

Sure thing there. Go listen to more Rage Against the Machine. While you're at it, light up a doobie. That would be sooo anti corporate. That would make you such a rebel.

[vitaminG]

clearly he didnt have an issue with their donuts

[kanachan]

I don't understand why he even wants to get his ban overturned if he's so displeased with their coffee making skills. I guess vitaminG is right about those donuts :/

Honestly if only a handful of people buy decaf, he already should be satisfied with getting a fresh pot upon request. Besides, the staff just open the coffee bag and put it in a filter, they don't regulate the amount of water that filters through.

what the point of decaf? is the same as drinking non alcoholic:haha: beer

[J____]

lol this guy probably brought way more publicity and business to that timmy ho's than he would ever give in 3 lifetimes. Good for the owner!

[Psykopathik]

"we reserve the right to refuse service"

[optiblue]

he sounds like a complainer...

Whiner probably fits his profile better
