    T that's the pen they use to mark the coffee pot times. I've worked at a Tim's in the past and would absolutely not be surprised that it ended up in someone's drink with how crazy it gets behind the counter.

    Probably kept it in a cup next to the pot to stop it from rolling around and someone grabbed that one instead of an empty

    I was a caricature artist at Universal and we used to use these pens for highlights over airbrush. I think they're called White China markers? You can def get them on Amazon and from art stores

    T.

    Not at all uncommon to store these sorts of pens in a cup by wherever they’re used. Typically labeled and/or taped down, but if not I can absolutely see someone grabbing one by accident.

    T I accidentally gave a customer my box cutter once. Slipped into their grocery bag and everything. You do stupid things when your hands are full and seven different people want something from you right now.

    T. Do you see what goes on back there? Do you even understand how much money these people are expected to make while they are paid trash? Do you know what it's like to have a corporation rewire your brain to be multitasking ten fucking things at once? Do you think anyone back there gives a FUCK?

    T. Grease pen. I used to love opening a brand new one instead of dealing with the 0.5 cm left of one 😩

    Tim Hortons in Canada is a literal shithole at this point. The foods gross. They hand out moldy bagels, there’s constantly flies on the food and around the kitchen, it’s truly disgusting. The only thing they care about at Tim Hortons is their Drive Thru time

    Before I stopped going they literally asked me to pull out of the drive thru and park out front for a coffee and a bagel. There was nobody else in line behind me.

    That franchise is a shadow of its former self and fucking sucks now.

    We have a vote counting bot!

    On new submissions, reply with a top-level comment that begins with:

    U = Untrustworthy

    T = Trustworthy

    W = OP got whooshed

    A 12 hour voting period will begin with each new submission. During that window, you can label the content with one of those three options.

    The app will recognize your vote as long as it's the first letter in your top-level comment. You can follow the letter with a period or comma, and it can be upper-case or lower-case, but it has to be the first letter, and a top level comment, and it cannot be as part of a word. (So this paragraph, for example, would not be recognized, because although it starts with 'T', the 'T' is a part of the word "The"; but if it was just "T." or "T, I agree" it would be valid.)

    Reminder: As always, participating in or brigading linked/screenshotted threads is against our rules.

    I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

    Or they took it out and the foam slid off and didn't coat the pen in a perfectly even fashion like you expect.

    The entire pen looks wet, just not saturated in foam.

    U | I think it was just dipped inside and pulled out, I don't think I know cups that are this wide and supposedly this short

    That pen/crayon could easily fit in a medium + coffee cup.

    I used to be a barista. Sometimes in a (long-term) effort of gaslighting and trying to make my supervisor go insane/crazy/lose her mind I would slip things in to customers drinks while she was making them. Springs, fruit peels, AirPods, and of course, a bic pen in the venti every now and then. So I’d imagine the OP went to a store where something very similar was going on.

    I'm not too sure what happens when an airpod is submerged in boiling hot liquid either but probably not good to injest
