Today I am going to share a tale of letdown and heartbreak. Today I will tell a story that might not change your life but for one moment in time, it will make you question what the hell is going on in the world today.

My journey began this morning when I decided it would be a special treat to walk down to Tim Hortons on Quinpool Road and pick up some breakfast sandwiches for Katie and I. Then I would take them home and we could have a nice meal where nobody would have to cook or make a mess of dishes. Sounds perfect right? I thought so to.

I made my way down to the bank first since I needed some cash. Tim Hortons does not accept Interac (crazy) so you need to have some coin in your pocket to buy their product. Don’t even get me started on this topic. I have bigger things to worry about than how to pay for something there.

I get the money, walk over and everything is on schedule. Katie’s coffee is brewing at home and I will be there soon enough with the hot and tasty sandwiches.

I wait in line for a good five minutes and finally get to the counter.

“Three sausage breakfast sandwiches please.”

There was a mumble behind the counter between two of the girls. The one said something back but it did not register with me. Maybe I was too excited to get the goods. Maybe she did not say it loud enough. Or maybe it was so insane that my brain blocked it out.

“We don’t have any eggs sir.”

My mind at this point could not even comprehend what was just said.

I could of asked 300 different questions or offered 200 snarky comments but I knew it was not the counter girls fault.

After a two second pause I finally snapped back to reality and declined ordering anything and left.

As I was leaving two other people ordered something that also needed eggs and they were also turned down. They also had the same blank stare and we really could of had a meeting outside called the No Egg Club.

I debated going elsewhere, either to another Tim Hortons or even Mcdonalds but I just went home.

You will be happy to know that I cooked up a breakfast that was better and much more tasty than the one I would of got at Tims.

That is not that point however and there were dishes!

How can a major chain like Tim Hortons not have eggs at 10:30am on Sunday? It boggles my mind. I guess they should change their latest hot product, the BELT, to just BLT.

Have you have a similar incident at Tims? Want to share? Can you beat no eggs? (pardon the pun)

At least they still had coffee and donuts.
