Timmy's wants more for its coffee from you.

Staff's wages are not going up.

It doesn't offer fair trade coffee, so does not directly share profits with farmers.

They increased the dividend to share holders.

Their stock is going up in value.

It pays to be the middleman or the shareholder.

Paid for by low wage workers, farmers and consumers; supported by the faceless hordes of investors looking to make money doing nothing.
