Homeless, pregnant woman turfed from Tim Hortons May 23, 2008 Homeless, pregnant woman turfed from Tim Hortons By TAMARA CHERRY -- Sun Media Tim Hortons has found itself in the spotlight yet again after reports of a downtown Toronto employee reaming out a business woman for buying a homeless pregnant woman breakfast. The alleged incident happened Wednesday morning after Teresa Lee said she came across a homeless lady sleeping on a King St. grate before offering to buy her breakfast at the popular coffee chain. After buying the homeless woman a meal, the business woman was approached by an employee who scolded her for bringing the woman into the store, according to media reports. Tim Hortons has defended itself by saying the homeless woman has been known to cause problems in the restaurant before. “Anyone who poses a risk to a safe customer environment is not welcome in the stores, especially if they have a history of making threatening disturbances,” Tim Hortons spokesman Rachel Douglas said in a statement today. The company has apologized to Lee with regards to how the employee dealt with the situation, Lee said. “In this specific case the person involved has been in the store previously and has been very disruptive and asked to leave on several occasions,” Douglas said. “The staff were reacting to that history.” This comes two weeks after Nicole Lilliman, a single mom in London, Ont., lost her job at Tim Hortons for giving a sour-cream glazed Timbit to a customer’s fussy child for free. Following a public relations nightmare brought about by the incident, Lilliman was rehired at another Tim Hortons store the following day. |
