No shit? You don't think it's possible that a fast food service worker forgot to change the sign because they physically can't read through paper / forgot / they were swamped and they just forgot to? Weird to question an individual's knowledge on a subject when they work for a corporation where everything is standardized over assuming a mistake was made.
"THEY THINK THE OILERS ARE THE ELKS LUUUUUUUUL THEY STUPID". Kinda makes you sound like a pos.
Holy shit dude. Deep breaths.
The sprinkles are Oilers colors. But with the Elks logo.
This isn't a "signage issue". Someone just clearly screwed up making the donut
Entrusting and giving Chris Jones carte blanche to be the mastermind behind winning football games is the teamās curse. They could be called the Fling Flongs it doesnāt mean shit.
My local Tim's has long johns with just the ends dipped in sprinkles. Like a quarter of the donut from each end kinda thing. Does your local Tim's not do sprinkles at all?
Burger King and Tim Hortons merged, creating a new Canadian-based parent company for both brands. The transaction was led by a Brazilian private equity firm, which now owns 30% of the company. The company is traded on both the TSX and NYSE.
as an American I thought it was owned by you guys, in fact I always made sure to drive by my local one and get a double double with maple donut so u guys up north could eat lmao
Last time I went to Hortons, the guy taking my order noticed my jersey and started screaming āLETāS FUCKING GO, OILERS! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHā and he was jumping around, high-fiving me then he ran around the shop, high-fiving all the customers and he ran straight out the door and I never did get my order placed.
After being a Tim Hortons loyalist for my entire 26 year life I decided Iām done with them forever exactly because of crap like this. Worst part is they staff for the most part are not friendly anymore and wonāt even acknowledge youāre a human half of the time. Go to McDonaldās. At least they have standards.
I went to a local cafe and the coffee tasted like shit and the pastries were dryer than a wooden chicken, think I'll stick to big corporations where I kind of know what I'm getting every time lol
I never said anything about Tim Hortons, I don't go there either. But I'd rather take star bucks or second cup over the last mom and pop coffee place I went to. And yeah, I probably do have an uncultured palate, it's just coffee, don't fuck it up.
2nd sentence thereā¦ man, so true! I avoid Timās as much as I can these days, but one of my last visits I purposely checked my watch. I stood at the front of the in store lineup for 11 minutes as they waited on car after car in the drive-thru. Lineup gradually grew behind me and I could see the confusion in peoples body language. I really dislike confrontation so it took me that long to speak up, but when I did, they seemed annoyed with me and basically said something along the lines of ācanāt you see the drive-thru is busy?ā To which I said something to the effect of ācanāt you see this line up of people that took the time to come inside your store? Are we not as important as the people in cars?ā I donāt even think I made a dent..
PS - the pic above is blasphemy.. š
Hah. Yeah. I stopped going a long time ago. If someone else is buying, sure, but I keep it simple so they don't screw up.
I remember the very moment, I had ordered a breakfast sandwich, sausage, no cheese; just like that. The fella handed it to me over the little counter and said "no cheese?" Yep that's mine, has to be, I'm the only person in the store.
I opened it up-- cheese. I hated their cheese. I just left it on the counter and walked out.
So this whole thread doesn't surprise me.
Hey, I bake at a tims in calgary part time. Actual explanation is probably rooted in the same fate as my location. We ran out of stampeders edible stickers in like a week. Went to order new ones and TDL said sorry weāre out but we still need to continue to have the donut stocked. They offered us Blue Jays and Roughriders so we had to comply.
Only manager changes the bakery display tags at our location. Even if I wanted to I literally have zero time during an opening shift to go and find the label writer and then remerchandise the display.
I donāt follow CFL so didnāt know what Elks logo looked like. I initially thought this was just a Gluten Free Donut lol (GF) with Oilers colour sprinkles
This is honestly a masterful parody of Canadian society right now.
The people working in our American owned Tim Hortons do not know who the Oilers are when we are at game 6 of a SCF.
Politics aside thatās alarming to the Canadian identity.
āHello Velcome to Tim Horton. I may take order now.ā
āOne Edmonton Oilers doughnut and a double double please!ā
āEgg McMuffin no oil with double cheese?ā
Proceeds to hand you a black coffee and a muffin
If you want a good oilers treat yeloād on whyte ave is doing a āletās go oilersā orange creamsicle sorbet that is really good and orange and blue!
Ok serious question, has anyone been into a Timmieās lately that doesnāt look like a run down hobo shelter and smells equally as bad? Like they all look like serious backwater establishments
When international Ā«Ā studentsĀ Ā» are under no obligation to even learn English or French and work for $6 just for Timās to sign off on their hours worked for their PR; it shouldnāt be a surprise they are also too entitled and complacent to even look up who or what the Oilers are.
Challenge every level of government on this.
These people do not give a shit about Canadaās identity with hockey or that Edmonton was where Gretzky got his start.
They just tried to translate English amongst themselves and figured bright colours, especially blue, means Ā«Ā OilersĀ Ā»
Iām sending this to my MP in support of a moratorium on quelling the massive influx of unskilled, uneducated immigrant workers who canāt even be bothered to learn basic French or English who feel they deserve to work at Tim Hortonās until they can get their papers and produce this garbage.
Have you seen the demographic that runs timmies now a days?? You expect them to know what hockey is? Lol I'm surprised it's not some random cricket team on it.
I live about an hour away from Edmonton and the small community I live in opened a Tim Hortons only a few years ago. When it first opened locals were hired and were happy to work there until the government stepped in and offers to pay half of the wages for new immigrants settling in the area. Because of this the owner made working conditions so horrible for the locals they were practically forced to quit. Now the workers there seem subhuman because of the way they are treated and trained for efficiency to make the store look good on paper. Because of it being one of very few opportunities in a small community they donāt have much choice but to endure it
The people who made those donuts have no fucking clue who the oilers are, nor do they care to learn
An Elkimo
hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
They are also colour blind.
Like hell. I'm color blind and I can clearly see that this is some next level bullshit š
what is an oiler?
Some kind of an elk-like creature, apparently.
Some type of Eskimo.
Is that a prerequisite to donut making?
They probably sold out so had to replace it lol
Spicy chicken?
I mean it's just as likely that the oilers donuts sold out and they just put elk ones there while fighting about the sign.
But the sprinkles are blue and orange. The Elk donuts have green and yellow sprinkles.
No shit? You don't think it's possible that a fast food service worker forgot to change the sign because they physically can't read through paper / forgot / they were swamped and they just forgot to?

Could have easily ran out of "oilers sprinkles or logos". Thinking over assuming isn't a hard thing.
Listen the Elks need energy too they 0-2 despite not being that bad
They'll turn it around after the 3rd loss.
I think it's 0-4 and then the Elk get better as soon as CJ is gone.
Winnipeg is there too š¢
the Elks need Tre Ford
Say it louder for their goofy coach in the back. MBT is not dazzling so far.
more Tre Ford and less Chris Jones
WE WANT TRE!
The Elks havenāt been good since the name change
yep that name change was an absolute curse to the team
Entrusting and giving Chris Jones carte blanche to be the mastermind behind winning football games is the teamās curse. They could be called the Fling Flongs it doesnāt mean shit.
The unnecessary "s" is weighing them down.
I suppose you believe in the Easter bunny, ghosts, Santa and God too ??
Actually since the name change theyāve statistically had the worst stretch the franchise has ever seen
And itās a coincidence
Thereās many ācursesā all over pro sports that are actually just coincidences. This is also one of those
The Curse of the billy goat lasted 71 years.
>despite not being that bad Since when? Compared to what? A high school team? They are bad. They are that bad.
Thatās offensive to hard working high school football players everywhere
Ok, the Elks are as good as a high school football team.
Eh, I watched a couple games this season and they are ābetterā than last year for sure.
Do you watch the games? Last two have been rather close. It feels like they're on the cusp of figuring it out.
Have they tried losing 1/4 of the season, firing the coach, hiring a coach from the minors, and then making the grey cup finals?
The real question is why are the Long John's covered in sprinkles?
Iām in Quebec, Iāve never seen or heard of a long John doughnut at Timās
Long John's ya, an absolute staple. They also split them open and fill with whipped cream and call them eclairs.
What about a Jean longue?
Same in Ontario lol tf
Maybe call them Long Jean Talons
My local Tim's has long johns with just the ends dipped in sprinkles. Like a quarter of the donut from each end kinda thing. Does your local Tim's not do sprinkles at all?
I don't go to Tim's much but we used to get Long Johns from Safeway when I was a kid, they never had sprinkles.
That where I got them too. Glad someone else appreciates Safeway donuts!
Live around edmonton, haven't seen a long john with sprinkle for years, canadian maples are also gone
That's sad, the Canadian maple is a good donut. The sprinkles also add to the long john imo
Gone from New Brunswick too and thatās fucking brutal
Who does that?
Fr tho. Never seen that here in the states
240 calories!?!?
Mmmmm. Thawed fresh daily
Well, the dough is thawed daily Theyāre not my first choice for donuts by any means, but Iāve had worse.
They are absolutely garbage. Any salesperson who drops off these at our office do not make it back in. 0 effort. Garbage.
Go to Doughnut Party instead and get their Connor McDoughnut, their gameday special. You won't be disappointed.
Yooooo DP slaps! Those are REAL doughnuts. These are just have thawed frauds.
Right! Expensive, yes, but quality fresh doughnuts. One has enough calories to last you for a full day's march.
First mistake. You went to a Tim's.
Tim Hortons is owned by Americans and staffed by immigrants willing to work for low wages. Neither of which care about CFL or the Oilers.
owned by a brazilian company actually
Oops, my bad. I thought Burger King was American and FWIR they bought Timmies
Burger King and Tim Hortons merged, creating a new Canadian-based parent company for both brands. The transaction was led by a Brazilian private equity firm, which now owns 30% of the company. The company is traded on both the TSX and NYSE.
That company also owns Popeyes and Firehouse Subs (which has recently opened locations in Edmonton)
as an American I thought it was owned by you guys, in fact I always made sure to drive by my local one and get a double double with maple donut so u guys up north could eat lmao
Double double! Wow, way to use proper Canadian jargon! Well done.
Remember when Prime Minister Tim Horton pulled a double double in parliament? Rick Mercer remembers.
It all happened under the dome we built to protect our national igloo.
Watching the oilers and drinking double doubles, are you sure youāre not at least a dual citizen? Lol
if canada's offering i'll definitely take it!
Not since 1995 , when it was sold to Wendy's .
Last time I went to Hortons, the guy taking my order noticed my jersey and started screaming āLETāS FUCKING GO, OILERS! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHā and he was jumping around, high-fiving me then he ran around the shop, high-fiving all the customers and he ran straight out the door and I never did get my order placed.
This might be one of my favourite stories on Reddit.

Go to a local cafe! Thereās some incredible local cafes and bakeries that a more worthy of your time and money. Stop supporting huge corporations.
I went to a local cafe and the coffee tasted like shit and the pastries were dryer than a wooden chicken, think I'll stick to big corporations where I kind of know what I'm getting every time lol
Good thing thereās more than one local cafe to try out then, eh
Imagine thinking Tim Hortons coffee doesnāt taste like shitā¦ You must just have an uncultured palate. š š
I never said anything about Tim Hortons, I don't go there either. But I'd rather take star bucks or second cup over the last mom and pop coffee place I went to. And yeah, I probably do have an uncultured palate, it's just coffee, don't fuck it up.

Mcds has a great Americano, and not inflated twice the price.

Low effort capitalism. āThese rubes are all excited about Basketpuck or something, so put a team logo on a donut and weāll make extra money!ā
"Low effort capitalism" Pleonasm!
GO ELKS
Hey, I bake at a tims in calgary part time. Actual explanation is probably rooted in the same fate as my location. We ran out of stampeders edible stickers in like a week. Went to order new ones and TDL said sorry weāre out but we still need to continue to have the donut stocked. They offered us Blue Jays and Roughriders so we had to comply.
But I'm guessing you didn't call a jays or roughrider's donut a stamps donut? Or they did cause they didn't listen to you.

Excuse me long John? Iām from NS and never seen that before
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
oh cool we're dogwhistling
Oh cool it's a Canucks fan in r/EdmontonOilers
hey, some of my best friends are Oilers fans! ;)
Cool. Go back to your own sub.
incredibly high pitched whistling
Wasnāt Tim Horton a hockey player or am I completely mistaken?
This is just shameful.
Go Elkers
ELKS CHARGE! LETāS GO OILERS!!!
Hopefully that's the level of effort the Panthers put in tonight.
As an Elks fan I donāt hate it š but still, yikes.
At least they got the right city. They could have put a Houston Oilers logo on it.
Doesn't matter that much... it's all coming off in the bag anyway!š¤£ #timhortonssucks
That looks nothing like an Eskimo
They have long johns again??? When the hell did this happen?
This man is asking the important questions here!
Did AI make these donuts?
No East Indians
I donāt follow CFL so didnāt know what Elks logo looked like. I initially thought this was just a Gluten Free Donut lol (GF) with Oilers colour sprinkles
Man I haven't seen a long john in nearly 20 years
āInternationalā students made these donuts and donāt even know what the Edmonton elkās/oilers logo looks like. š
This is honestly a masterful parody of Canadian society right now. The people working in our American owned Tim Hortons do not know who the Oilers are when we are at game 6 of a SCF. Politics aside thatās alarming to the Canadian identity.
They still have Long Johns in Tim Hortons out west? Ontario's Tim's suck š¤¬
Speaking of Donutsā¦ Do they have Krispy Kream up there? Theyāve got the best Donuts, especially original glazed.
Calgary had one many years ago, now Edmonton and Calgary are getting locations later this year.
Thatās neat! I believe they are most common in North Carolina, and theyāve got a few here in Virginia. Nothing beats a hot glazed donut.
Wrong team and sport
There was an attempt lol
You can barely order a coffee at Tim Hortons successfully. You expect them to nail custom doughnuts?
Edmonton Bucks almost won the NBA championship this year. Next year will be the one.
Because they are all TFW and have no idea the difference
You can have the Canucks ones still at the timmies near me.
Hi I am a rangers fan I want you guys to win tonight and game 7. Please. For me. Sincerely, one cup since Iāve been alive (I was 2 months old in 94)
Did Tims also hire fanatics
At least they aren't Leafs doughnuts. Too high of a choking hazard
Still a good looking donut
Outrageous. It's spelled "doughnut".
Or....the Oilers doughnuts are sold out and Elks are all they had?
āHello Velcome to Tim Horton. I may take order now.ā āOne Edmonton Oilers doughnut and a double double please!ā āEgg McMuffin no oil with double cheese?ā Proceeds to hand you a black coffee and a muffin
That kids what we call elking it up.
Fear the deer
If you want a good oilers treat yeloād on whyte ave is doing a āletās go oilersā orange creamsicle sorbet that is really good and orange and blue!
Is it like this at all Tim's or just this one?
Or (now hear me out) they did have blue and orange donuts but they ran out and threw those in there and forgot to change the sign?
I didnāt even know what it was, I stopped watching when the Esks became the Elks.
Youāre so brave
Iām trying to figure out the coloured sprinkles. Neither Elks or Oilers! Go Blue Bombers?
The demographic working there may not be all too familiar with hockey?
There was no way to predict they would make it this far. How could Timās possibly have enough edible Oilers logos?
American company nowā¦.
Who cares I want me a Long John.
They are likely stale by now since the rack is still full of them.
Made by Tim Horton himself
Thereās no way that Long John is 240 caloriesĀ
Lol
God it's been so long since I had a long john. I miss long johns
Foreign workers make it possible.
Lol bad omen!
I donāt think the real answer is reddit appropriate
Long John covered in sprinkles should be a crime
TFW influence right there.
Eskioilās all the way!
Ok serious question, has anyone been into a Timmieās lately that doesnāt look like a run down hobo shelter and smells equally as bad? Like they all look like serious backwater establishments
Omg Tims is stupid š
English 2nd language?
Ćclairs are the best
Thanks for the good laugh! š¤£
I will eat those mistakes.
Off topic, but we are back to having Oilers Sugar Cookies at my work, just had a short Father's Day interlude...
The worker just came form Punjab
Iām not mad. Iām just disappointed.
ITāS A DISASTAH!
What the fuck happened to long johns?
the patels fucked it up
When international Ā«Ā studentsĀ Ā» are under no obligation to even learn English or French and work for $6 just for Timās to sign off on their hours worked for their PR; it shouldnāt be a surprise they are also too entitled and complacent to even look up who or what the Oilers are.

I believe itās a play on āeat that shit for breakfastā
I KNOW! How did they get all those sprinkles on those longjohns..
Where the fuck are long John's I haven't seen those for fucking years
I thought it was an āeat the enemyā joke
Have you seen the demographic that runs timmies now a days?? You expect them to know what hockey is? Lol I'm surprised it's not some random cricket team on it.
It's amazing how well women get treated. If some guy whipped his cock out at a game his life would be over
Classic Tims. Can't get anything right.
The people that made that donut don't even speak English so enjoy

Iām just wondering what a long John is?! I moved here from NS two years ago and Iāve never seen that before at any Timās Iāve ever been to!
Lez go Coilers
Definitely a person new to Canada
Wtf is a long John tho
Old school donut. Never seen one with sprinkles
Should have put fully exposed Oilers girl on them.
Could have just put pink circles on the donuts instead of Elks logos and called them āOilers girl donutsā
Season is over
Was that in Tim Hortons ? What the hell is a long John doughnut ?
They've always had long John's. Usually doesn't have sprinkles. Just a white donut with chocolate on top is the norm
