Tim Horton's - Waterfront Hotel Food Mall
There was an opening for a guinea pig as Tim Horton's just had their own grand opening at the Waterfront Food Fair. The lineup was long with a confusing configuration. The location is not the best, way in the corner of the mall. They have multi-cash registers but there is first day confusion about whether there should be one line or multi-lines. I knew I should have brought my own yellow queue tape and traffic cone.
Long story short - the couple in front of me bought multiple items, but Tim ran out of an item, so instead of 2 they now had one sandwich. Then,one by one they started deleting items from their purchase. All the while I'm standing in line for 15 minutes, money burning a hole in my pocket. I won't be back until they are up to speed.
Old number 2 would be rolling in his grave now. (Trivia note - Tim Horton was a Toronto Maple Leaf hockey player who wore the number 2.)

Tim Horton, as a defenceman, was regarded as second only to the great Bobby Orr, and so was outshone by him.
So, the question to be asked is whether the Tim Horton chain of restaurants would have been outshone by the Bobby Orr chain of restaurants, had Bobby Orr gone into the restaurant business when he retired from hockey.
Do you think Bobby Orr, as owner of his putative eponymous restaurant chain, would have tolerated at one of his outlets the sort of confusion you describe, that happened at the Tim Horton's outlet the Waterfront Mall?
But then, had Tim Horton still been alive, he may not have tolerated what happened at the Waterfront Mall.
However, we'll never know for sure.
