Canadian Coffee Complainer Banned For Life From Tim Horton's

Story

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

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

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

Did you mean publicity, 5-minute of fame, or was there a missing hyperlink you wanted to take us to?

You nailed it. I have been waiting to be discovered as a tabloid headline writer ever since my first job changing the ribbons on the wire-service tickers in the newsroom. My fingernails are still dirty from the experience.

He's a "coffee enthusiast" and he drinks decaf? He deserves to be banned.
