Windsor hospital spills $3 million on Tim’s coffee and donuts

New documents obtained by SecondStreet.org show a pair of government-owned and operated Tim Hortons franchises at the Windsor Regional Hospital have now lost approximately $3 million since 2010-11.

 

Yes, the government owns two franchise locations of one of Canada’s most successful companies and no, the government can’t run the coffee stands on a break even basis.

 

The latest documents show these two franchises – located at the Windsor Hospital’s Ouellette and Met campus sites – have lost $1 million in just the past two years alone.

 

Incredibly, these two facilities don’t even include rental costs for the space they’re taking up and aren’t charged utilities or other overhead costs – a staggering display of incompetence.

 

But what do you expect when the government is paying people upwards of $33.12/hr (including benefits) for people to pour coffee?
