The one detail in this that slightly annoyed me is the timmy’s card. patriotic people don’t shop there anymore because of the ownership, also their products have sucked for the last decade anyways. idr when that book came out, though
also, side note, nobody but the east coast is pronouncing it “aboot”. there’s a clear difference between “about” and “boot”. americans just really draw out the “ow” in “out”, so yes it sounds closer to “boot”, but it’s hardly ‘exactly how it sounds’. /angryrant
side side note, I don’t have a relative who was trampled by a moose, but I do know someone who had their car trampled by a moose

He says “aboot” instead of “about” and gets really, really upset when you point it out, claiming you’re hearing things and that it’s a harmful stereotype. It’s not a stereotype, and that’s exactly how it sounds.

I would say the Tim’s card would imply from an era the company was less shit (RIP their OG Ham & Swiss sandwich with the crunchy bread).
But I don’t think Tim’s ever had a loyalty card did they? Maybe a roll up the rim “free coffee” they forgot to ever cash in.
I’ve got one in my wallet right now.
