Tim Hortons: A Short Story
It was a nice, snowy 23rd of December. I decided to go to Chapters and get some books. After a while, I started craving green tea so I headed out to Tim Hortons. As I came in, I noticed that there were two lines formed. Confused, I decided to follow along and stand in the middle, which was not the best idea.
People started to come in, some thought I was in line and others thought I was waiting for my order, I ended up being surrounded. I was really confused and the other people as well. The cashier finally asked for the next customer which I thought was me. In this case, I went up to him, he first glared at me and then asked the guy standing behind me to come up. I was really confused so I decided to let the man go, but he was even more confused

    Transaction Cost Economics: Tim Hortons

    Transaction cost economics applies to Tim Hortons in a very simple way. ‘Transaction cost economics is mainly concerned with the governance of contractual relations.’ (Douma 195) This is due to having their own coffee roasting facilities, they also have their own facility to pre-bake and packaging facilities. Thereby they can avoid suppliers acting bounded rationally or opportunistic. This minimises the interaction to external suppliers and thus minimises dependability, and avoids possible hold-ups. The transaction cost within the firm solely lies in contact, contract and control of the franchise owners.Similar to most other firm, Tim Hortons is not fully vertically integrated, which means they still have contact, contracts,…

    Dunkin Donuts Narrative

    It is a cool, crisp fall morning in October. It is early, as my coach always wants to arrive at our cross country meets first. He seems to think there's a direct link to when you get to the meet and where your team places. In my opinion, the only direct link is between the earlier we have to get up and the size of the coffee we each get at Dunkin Donuts. My teammates, excited about the day ahead of them, feverishly exchange “Secret buddy” gifts, and pass around the purple war paint, ready to face the day ahead.…

    Dystopian Essay

    It was an organized line with people dressed in various clothing. Some were wearing clean t-shirts with ironed out jeans and others wearing ragged pants and a dirty t-shirt. All of the people in the line had a small number tattooed on their wrist followed by some letters like they were cars with a license plate (OFL). As Jason looked at his watch he complained, “What’s taking this line so long? I have places to be people!” No one acknowledged him. Not everyone had a place to be. A few minutes later, Jason eventually got his lunch. He decided to eat and walk at the same time./…

    Personal Narrative: My Visit To Longhorn

    I placed my order at 6:01pm and I set the pickup time for 6:40pm, well because I was riding with someone on lunch this time I wanted to place the order well ahead of time so that when I arrive to retrieve my order, it would be ready. Well, again I was tricked. I arrived around 7:05pm only to find out that my order wasn’t ready. So, my co-worker and I went across the street to pick up someone else’s food. We returned about 10 minutes later only to find out that my food still wasn’t ready. Another customer that ordered online as well, (per her printed out confirmation, she placed her order at 6:40pm) but didn’t pay online like I did, her order was ready. Again, my salmon dish with several sides still wasn’t ready. I asked to speak with a manager. When the manager came out I was able to tell her my concerns and she proceeded to the kitchen to grab my order. She returned about 5 minutes later with my order. This time unlike the time before, I checked my order. Once again, my salmon was burnt at the bottom and was dry. The manager offered to remake my order. When I was in a rush to return to work from lunch, I honestly didn’t have much time to wait, but I decided to wait anyway. The manager went to the kitchen and returned with a better and fresher looking salmon, so I thought. When I returned to work to eat my lunch, I realized that my salmon was raw in…

    Interactionism

    I observed my team during a potluck. It was interesting to say the least. There were about 25 of us and most of all of us brought something to the potluck. What I noticed is most people just dug right in. I could see that the leaders of the group initiated the gathering and started the line to get food. Some people started where the main food was and others on the desserts. There was really a lot of confusion. I must say that in this situation according to The Person the nature of traits of behavioral dispositions took hold for me. When people noticed that the line was going two separate ways there were two responses. Some just pushed others out of the way and kept on getting their food. Others waited and let others get done. One, just one stopped the line reorganized it and had people start going in one direction. That person is definitely a leader. (They were in fact one of our senior representatives.) Others just did what I think their trait dictated. Most people don’t like confrontation and they would have been the one’s that waited to get their food to let others get out of the way first. The other’s that pushed their way in line are actually some of the trouble starters in the group and they didn’t care if it seemed rude or not. They wanted their food and went to get it. Now this may also mean that they are go-getters so that may not be a bad thing either. Linguistic categories may also explain why some people didn’t mind stepping in front of another. Because I am looking in from the outside I really have no bases for my assumption. It may be that they needed to get back to work and were rushing not paying attention that they were moving others out of the way. This was a great exercise, something I would do in the future just to see how people…

    Consumer Journey

    It all started with me getting hungry. I decided to go to subway because it’s the nearest place to eat for me. I went into my car and went to subway. I went parking but there were not enough parking places. I entered the subway store. The place had a good ambience and there were a lot of people so the line was long. I had to wait like 15 minutes to get my turn. When I had to choose, the menu was a little confusing. It wasn’t clear what for options I had. At the end I decided to eat a chicken breast sandwich. There were enough workers but still there was like confusion. Some of the workers were really friendly, others not really. Then I had to pay. That went really fast. I went to one table and sat to eat. The food was good and the place was comfortable. When I finished eating I stood up and went home.…
