globeandmail.com: Woman fired for giving baby a free Timbit
LONDON, Ont. — Giving a free Timbit to a baby has cost a single mother of four her job.
Nicole Lilliman, 27, was fired Wednesday from her Tim Hortons job in this southwestern Ontario city for giving one of the 16-cent blobs of fried dough to a tot who came in with a regular customer.
“I have been fired for giving a baby a Timbit,” Ms. Lilliman said Wednesday.
“It was just out of my heart — she was pointing and going ‘ah, ah. . .’ I should have gone to my purse and got the change, but it was busy.”
Ms. Lilliman, who has worked at the store for three years, said she thought little of the incident since Timbits are often doled out to dogs and children.
Tsk tsk Tim Hortons. This bad publicity will cost you more than 16 cents (not to mention the cost of replacing an employee).
