Government-run Tim Hortons losses worse than expected

” … One reason for the red ink appears to be labour costs. In 2012, media reported that unionized staff that served coffee at the facility were paid about $26 per hour (including benefits). Minimum wage at the time was $10. Now, however, the hospital maintains wage information is confidential. Oddly enough, other health bodies have had no problem releasing similar information.”

Sure Tim’s is not the brand it was but a hospital location screams captive customers and 26 bucks an hour for slinging coffee says an awful lot about healthcare costs.
