Roll Up The Rim to Win Blues.

            It's that time of year again. When Canadians everywhere religiously get in line at Tim Horton's eager to buy their coffee in hopes of winning a prize when they roll up the rim. This is the time of year Master (Pictured above with her Chai Latte...ie hot smoothie with a chai Tea bag) looks forward to. When Roll Up The Rim to Win starts then that means Spring comes next! It also means lots of free coffee and donuts and possibly a brand new car!
          But this year Master has the Roll up The Rim to Win Blues. She's married to a Tim Horton's employee and is not eligible for a large prize nor is she allowed to purchase Coffee in a prize cup at the location her Husband works at. Her Husband is also clearly not allowed to take home a prize cup. This means they have reduced chances of winning stuff and they can't claim anything bigger than a Coffee or Donut. They also can't claim prizes at their location...because Everyone knows Master's Husband works there.
          Yes they could go get coffee at another location. The nearest location is a 15 minute drive and there is no need for them to travel that direction. The other locations are in the city which is a half hour from where they live. So it looks like it's bad news for their Roll up Thumbs...Or in master's case her Roll up teeth (As she uses her teeth to Roll up the Rim). This year they will have less enjoyment to see if they win a prize or get the dreaded "Please Play again" phrase under the rim. They do not get to boast about free coffee/donut winnings to their friends. It is a sad sad season.
          The good news is, there is no way in Hell Master's Husband plans on working at Tim Horton's the rest of his life unless he actually owns a Tim Horton's location. So possibly next March they will be back to normal routines and will be happily rolling up the Rim along with many other proud patriotic Tim Horton's patrons. But Until that day, Master gets to sulk all month because her Hopes and dreams have been crushed.
