Woman fired for giving 16-cent treat to toddler
An attendant at a Canadian restaurant who was sacked for giving a bite-sized doughnut, worth 16 cents, to an agitated toddler was given her job back on Thursday after the case received wide media attention.
Nicole Lilliman, a single mother, said she was dismissed from a London, Ontario, outlet of the Tim Hortons coffee and doughnut chain after video cameras captured the 27-year-old giving a Timbit to a toddler.
"It was just out of my heart, she (the toddler) was pointing and going 'ah, ah...' I should have gone to my purse and got the change, but it was busy," Lilliman told the Toronto Star newspaper.
Tim Hortons said on Thursday that the firing was a mistake.
"It was the unfortunate action of one manager who unfortunately made an overzealous decision, and thankfully we were able to rectify the situation," said company spokeswoman Rachel Douglas.
Douglas said the company, a Canadian icon with stores on virtually every high street across the country, told Lilliman that she could have her job back, and Lilliman had accepted.
A single Timbit sells for 16 Canadian cents (16 U.S. cents), but most shoppers buy boxes of 10, 20 or 40 of the deep-fried goodies, which come in a variety of flavors.
Douglas said Tim Hortons had received a number of complaints. "Thankfully we're able to go back to them and say we were able to fix the situation," she said.
-"Good ol' media attention, eh? An attendant at a Canadian restaurant who was sacked for giving a bite-sized doughnut, worth 16 cents, to an agitated toddler was give... more -

Why our brains are programmed to eat doughnuts
Apparently it's because we are hungry. A study found that when subjects were presented with a picture of Krispy Kreme doughnuts and a screwdriver, their brains went into overdrive over the doughnuts.
After eating up to eight of the doughnuts, neither picture generated much of a reaction.
Then when the subjects fasted for eight hours 2 distinct parts of the brain lit up.
One part of the brain that lit up is, "the limbic brain, an ancestral part of the brain present in all animals from frogs to humans," and it says "...not only am I hungry, but here is food."
The other part of the brain that lit up is the brain's spatial attention network . It locked onto the doughnuts, deciding they were more important than the screwdrivers.
So basically we want them cuz we are hungry. Apparently it's because we are hungry. A study found that when subjects were presented with a picture of Krispy Kreme doughnuts ... more -
