As I joined the line up of coffee deprived patrons this morning at the Tim Horton’s drive-thru, I got to wondering about a couple of things. They are supposed to make our lives easier by allowing us to relax in the car and have food handed to us instead of getting out and walking the few steps into the restaurant. They also make it easier to put the strain on the wallet since it’s so easy to get in line. And it is very convenient for putting on a couple of unwanted pounds. It seems the price of convenience has gone up, prices have increased, service stays relatively the same.
Imagine my shock when my smoothie came up to just under five bucks. I reluctantly reached into my change compartment and pulled out a couple of toonies and a loonie. I started to think it’s time to boycott these places. That is until the sweet treat hit my palate and I remembered why I got in line in the first place. Is five bucks too much to ask for something I really wanted? And so, inevitably, you will probably find me in line again before the week is through.
The first drive thru restaurant was created in 1947 by Sheldon “Red” Chaney, operator of Red’s Giant Hamburg in Springfield, Missouri. Others too have laid claim to the invention. Regardless of who came up with the idea, I wonder if they knew it would explode into an almost necessary service (for those of us who occasionally can’t be bothered to walk a couple of feet anyway).
We recognize a need to be convenient. That’s why we are open 24 hours. You want service, you got it. Does it cost? Yes. Is it worth the investment? Yes. You won’t be disappointed. Our fully trained electricians provide service of the utmost caliber. After all, what kind of service company wouldn’t do that?
Our loyal clients know that they don’t have to wait in a drive-thru line for service either if they need help. How sweet it is to have the job done right the first time. Our written guarantees and warranties are appetizing too. We constantly go above and beyond to serve you better.
