Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand
She works hard and i bet her toast is second to non!!
20 Feb 2009 8:36am
@Linerberry: Her toasts are delish....Her name is Lea and she's an angel (works the midnight shift....) It was 3 am and I was out of bread lol
k@ from Paris, France
Juste du beurre alors ? Tu aurais dû demander aussi une viennoiserie, il en reste derrière la caisse :))
Excellente photo sur-le-vif !
20 Feb 2009 9:07am
@k@: Ben il etait 3 heures du matin et bien je n'aime pas le sucre en me levant...(je n'avais plus de pain) avec beaucoup de beurre lol
Nina from Hamburg, Germany
No, not so brown... great photo, very good in b/w... I'm impressed of the big coffeepot... this is really a fantastic shot, Lorraine, nice atmosphere... how do I get there? :)
20 Feb 2009 10:16am
@Nina: Well come to my house and I'll drive you over lol...she is a sweety, I love Tim Horton's toasts burned, and with tons of butter, and a large coffee with cream ;)
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
I've just had brown toast and coffee, yummy! a great start to the day!
20 Feb 2009 10:49am
@MaryB: Isn't it the best, especially when they are mildly burnt and full of butter ;) and the coffee is fresh!
@Hans: a very large one :)
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Interesting term - one I've never heard - does that mean whole wheat?
I love her questioning expression and the give-away logo and 'Tim' on the pot!
20 Feb 2009 12:02pm
@Judy: I know it took me a while to ask for brown toast instead of whole wheat, 'cause everytime I'd ask for whole wheat, they'd ask back 'Brown?" so they trained me well ;)
dobbino from Cape Town, South Africa
White for me, thanks - can't beat it! Can't help get the feeling that what she is actually saying is "Get that camera out of my face, please" lol :)
20 Feb 2009 12:42pm
@dobbino: That's Lea, she knows by now, 'oh you' she always says in French lol and makes me great toast ;)
tyan from Singapore, Singapore
hoho,must be quite a shock to see a camera instead of a voice 'yes please'.Did you get your toast free as a result?LOL:)
20 Feb 2009 1:39pm
@tyan: They know me at Tim Horton's....they're always ready lol no, no free toasts, but lots of grins ;)
@Daryl: No! She just knows me, and I always order Whole Wheat toast with butter and a large coffee, so she just asks before I say anything :) except in French Pain Brun?
mellofello from United Kingdom
My favourite. I'll bet she puts on lashings of butter that (runs down to your elbow) or inch deep cunchy peanut-better (yummy, yummy for my tummy!). A great shot that gives the imagination excercise.
20 Feb 2009 1:53pm
@mellofello: Everything you said is right on and perfect, excpet for the part where you didn't mention the coffee lol thanks Mello :)
Lee from Fort Frances Ontario, Canada
I can smell the aroma of coffee. Great title. Good job.
20 Feb 2009 2:19pm
@Lee: And it smells terrific lol thanks a lot Lee :)
Barbara from Florida, United States
Oh, I shouldn't be standing here where they sell donuts. It looks like others already got the good ones the racks are bare. Toast and coffee sound safe and delicious, especially at 3 a.m.
Great candid image, have to give her credit working that shift.
I like a little honey on my toast!
20 Feb 2009 2:25pm
@Barbara: I say we deserve donuts and good yummies, but first thing in the am, toast and coffee :)
Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France
Une expression étonnante sur le visage de cette serveuse.
20 Feb 2009 2:31pm
@Calusarus: Il etait seulement 3 h du matin, donc tu sais...
@Nicolas: elle est un peu fatiguee, c'est un long shift, et il est trois heures am
@WABIKOJA: Thanks a lot Wabi ;)
Cheryl from Texas, United States

@Cheryl: Thanks so much, I appreciate your lovely compliment!
grouser from Ludlow, United Kingdom

20 Feb 2009 5:09pm
@kerfendal: lol merci beaucoup Max, on m'connait bien au Tim Horton ;)
Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States
A s long as the coffee is fresh and strong - brown toast sounds perfect - nice capture.
20 Feb 2009 5:53pm
@Stephen Phillips: I never hesitate to say 1 large coffee (your freshest) with cream please...only one dared once give me the bottom of cup, that's not fresh I spoke up! Hey ! lol

MontereyJohn from Salinas, California, United States
Ah, gritty real life! Starbucks this ain't :)
20 Feb 2009 8:39pm
@MontereyJohn: Hey I'd love a Starbucks, but there's none around, so it's Timmy's, gritty, but fresh ;)
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
Nice little story night owl, Tims is still your purveyor of toast and coffee.
20 Feb 2009 8:46pm
@JoeB: You got it! and it's the only one in town ;)
@Alun Lambert: Coffee with that? ;) thanks Alun!
@Daniel: Hey Daniel, she works the night shift :) thanks a lot!
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
She looks like she is saying "Is there anything else I can help you with?" Great interest shot.
20 Feb 2009 11:05pm
@Marion: She's very helpful lol thanks a lot Marion :)
Francesc B. from région parisienne, France
Excellent ce portrait... qui se prête à une caricature !
Vous avez dit un beurre ??? ça fera 1,86 !
20 Feb 2009 11:24pm
@Francesc B.: ben avec cafe et toast, c'est plutôt 3,99! ;) merci Franc!
MrsAmber from London, United Kingdom
Lovely candid shots! So these people mind you taking their pictures? I am always too embarrassed just to point my camera at people...perhaps you know them. Anyway; its a great picture!
21 Feb 2009 12:33am
@MrsAmber: hey Mrs A...takes a while but you get used to it, plus they know me my now...but usually if I take a full frontal, I ask (after, don't want to take away the natural feel) you'd be suprised that 90% of people enjoy it and don't mind...I don't ask if I take them from the back...and you get a feel by the look n their eyes whether you'll dare or not! ;) Thanks a lot!
MrsAmber from London, United Kingdom
P.S. What a HUGE pot of coffee she has on the go! I could do with someithin like that by my desk every morning! ;o)
21 Feb 2009 12:34am
@MrsAmber: Hey Mrs. A, you know what's better than 1 comment? 2 comments lol I drink a full pot like that every morning...:) they usually avec 6 pots on the go ;)
MrsAmber from London, United Kingdom
OK; my turn to post a number of comments...I was looking longingly at the pot of coffe and realise it may be in the foreground and not quite so huge...still appealing though..
21 Feb 2009 12:37am
@MrsAmber: Hey Mrs. A. you know what's better than 2 comments, yeah you got it lol ...it is that big!!! lol
@jamesy: She's so used to me taking photos, she barely notices ;) thanks Deb
