Tim Hortons
reviews and complaints

Went into tims at 510 pm ...at gerrard square was on my break...WAITED in line for 20 mins...3 people working. I ordered a 4 cheese bagel toasted with butter n bacon n cheese. Waited 15 mins for bagel but when I checked they forgot the bacon. I am becoming very discouraged with tims have been loyal customer forc20 yrs. How can you put new hire staff to work by themselves. Not to mention the store was messy...tables weren't clean stuff all over the floor.

This isn't the first time (It's been over a year) since i've been meaning to mention a complaint, but the tim hortons down from my house which I purchase from daily have terrible customer service. Many times I always ask for no tomatoe and light buffalo sauce on the chicken wraps and they never seem to pay attention to the details. It becomes very frustrating because I then have to listen to it from my boyfriend who complains about it (Hurts his stomach) and the iced capps are rarely every full to the top. I order a large and it looks like i've gotten a medium.. This isn't always a daily problem but from time to time it doesn't become frustrating just over a small simple mistake.

I have applied to Tim Hortons many time and did so again today because they have a big sign out looking for people. But needless to say I find that this store will not hire you unless you are Native or Filipino. I find this discrimination to the white race . I have applied when ever they are looking and they just ignore my online application. This store is a real messed up place.

march 23..i bought bagel and cream cheese, and a donut and coffee. aprox 6:00 am after eating the biggest part of half the bagel..my mouth filled up with taste and smell of mint ...i was chewing on a piece of already been chewed gum and part of a wrapper that was with it...i damned near puked and immediately started thinking about my health, because i don, t know if whoever chewed this gum had any comunicable disease like hiv or whatever... absolutely horrible to discover this crap in my cream cheese..the restaurant in question was in elmvale ontario..68 yonge st south..franchisee is jennifer cote..an jim lapcevich.she took pics..i was told it would be investigated...i contacted their head office and some fellow named steve..said he would investigate the problem..he asked if i still had the guma nd bagel, an i replied yes i did...he told me he didn, t live far from my location and he would stop in a get pics of it and would get back to me..he never came around to collect or look after the problem..he got back and said they reviewed the tapes and could, nt find any wrong doing..but the restaurant is only one part and maybe it came from a copacker for timmies..they i believe are brushing me off..as if it didn, t happen..i require some kind of acknowledgement...they didn, t even offer a apology, or refund or even some freebies...i, m now needing a lawyer to see if something can be done about this..as i, m almost 70 y/o they should understand, i, m not just giving them a story.thxyou

I order for the Chipotle chicken wrap from the Tim Hortons(yesterday around 12:25)which is at baseline inside the loblaws, n I strictly mention the cashier not to put bacon inside it which is forbidden in my religion, but I got the wrap which had lots of bacon so u guys have to make sure before making the order. I am highly dissatisfied with your customer.

Hi my name is Alaa Khadir, this morning an issue happened. When I was ordering this morning from the Tim Hortons that is inside the Esso gas station, I had a free donut coupon, and when I gave it to the cashier he refused to take it since appearantly he states its from last year. I swore to him that it was from this year, and he refused to take it. I told him I won the free donut coupon about week ago, and he still didn't believe me. Right after I gave him the $20, he threw my change rather then putting them in my hand, and they fell behind the counter. He then gave me attitude, and I told him that you are being rude to me, and this just created a huge embarrassment. This Tim Hortons was located at 3550 52 street NE of Calgary, Alberta. This happened about 9:05-9:10 AM. This happened on April 13, 2017. The mans name was Shane. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, and hopefully you can do something about this.

To whom it may concern;

I am writing you because i tried to deal with the Tim Hortons store in Taber, Alberta directly and it got me nowhere. On March 29, 2017, my boyfriend, our children, his grandfather and myself went to Tim Hortons for coffee at 6 pm. When we left at 7 pm my boyfriend forgot his wrangler jean jacket on the back of the chair. I phoned down at 11 pm when he couldnt find his jacket and the girl i talked to said yes they had it after i descibed the jacket to her. I asked if they would hold it for me until the next day when i could come get it and she said yes that was fine. The next day at 11 am i went to Tim Hortons to pick up the jacket and talked to a lady named Sherry. She informed me that an employee there had taken the jacket outside and hung it on a pole in the overflow parking lot because she thought it was a truck drivers jacket and thought if she hung it there they would recognize it and pick it up, even after i had told them i would be there to pick it up. She took me outside and showed me where it had been put and someone had already taken it. That was a $200 jacket i had bought my boyfriend that he no longer has because your incompetent employee couldnt do what she had told me she was going to do. I will no longer support your business. Im very disappointed in how this was handled. I contacted the manager the next day where he told me he was going to talk to the girl who answered the phone and talked to me. The girl denied having the jacket even though she said they had it there and Sherry who worked there the following morning said she had put it outside.

You have a Tim Hortons on south Fraser way in abbotsford in west oaks mall parking lot I want to let you know there are so many complaints about this store being filthy inside and out and homeless standing at drive thru bothering customers and sleeping by the door it it not giving you a good look at that store you need to check into things there, there are constant complaints about that store and staff

This Sunday afternoon i was in line at the drive through at the Veterans Blvd branch in Airdrie Alberta and it was not moving because of volume. I had being queueing for around 7 mins and when i got to the speaker to order i simply asked if i could wait til i got to the window to order my drink because it would be cold by the time i got there. This i experienced at the same branch not long ago and ended up with cold coffee..Not nice thank you. So i proceeded to the window and told them I'd like a medium steeped tea with 3 milk and they refused to serve me. 4 team members decided to verbally insult me and one of them even called me rude. The other member said it's the law to order before you get to the window...Really? I questioned that but she simply walked away. The same team member who called me rude recognised me and said hey you're a regular customer and i said yes..But he wouldn't serve me. It would have taken 20 seconds or less to serve me a warm tea but they would not. I had no choice but to leave empty handed and told them as i left that i would never return to that branch.. They didn't care. My question is in this day and age, why would they refuse a simple request to enhance their customer relations? I mean i have being given the wrong order from that branch before..Paid for add on items that they didn't give me..Etc etc. Do i have any recourse in this situation? I feel like they dismissed me completely. Any feedback would be appreciated thanks. Padraic Keane. [protected]@gmail.com

Went to Tim Horton's on Logan Ave. in Langley B.C. and ordered a Steak and cheese Panini meal with soup and coffee to eat in. Took over 10 minutes to get a bowl of soup. Sandwich was cold by the time I got my soup. They did not have any clean bowls around but had several staff members standing around doing nothing. Ask why they were training, well maybe get "them" to wash the dishes as part of training. Worst service ever and no customer service.

I live in windsor quebec. I use the drive through twice a day, everyday. On the weekends, friday through sunday, the service is terrible.
This has been going on for over a year.

Just this morning I ordered a cinnamon french toast begal toasted extra butter and when I got to work I found I had plain begal with butter. I would like my money back as that is not what I ordered if not I will be making sure that the next time I will be checking all what I ordered in the car pick up and I will be taking my sweet time no matter how long it takes me to do so even up to twenty min if I have to!

I buy boxes of your coffee (Tim hortons) at bed bath & beyond.in a box, usually I get 3 or 4 pods explode causing me to stop everything, clean the whole machine, discard my cup of coffee and feel highly frustrated. I would like to know why this keeps happening? I always use filtered water and never overfill my machine.

Please advise soonest

I purchased two croissants this morning at the Portage West Tim Horton's location. The croissants were terrible, stale and just not right. I purchase croissants regularly and I know the difference.
I was extremely disappointed that Tim Horton's allows this type of service.
The merchandise was more than two days old, one day old would develop this type of smell.

Horribly rude manager named Darlene in new Jarvis, Ontario restaurant. Customers and staff are tired of her. Has fired staff just because she doesn't like them. Owner has been told of her incompetence and bullying tactics before from different concerned customers. The restaurant is always dirty. Never a clean table to sit at. It's just an overall bad experience going in there. And people are left feeling uncomfortable because of the way she treats them or the staff. So many people are baffled on how she has a job... let alone got a promotion!

This has been an ongoing problem and has occurred several times. There was a time in February when an order of potato wedges was given. I ended up receiving soggy, hard and stale potato wedges that were not crispy and fresh. I did not purchase them until again in march, I had experienced the same quality again. I also recently had given an order for a four-cheese bagel with cream cheese and received a bagel with butter (which did not taste fresh either) . I rarely visit Tim Hortons but I am repeatedly experiencing issues with customer service and the freshness of the food more often.

Hi.
I love my "timmies",!... But...

I recently took a take out coffee only to find an insect in the bottom of my cup. The cup was a winner (Roll up the rim) for free potatoe wedges, but I was absolutely sickened to find the creepy crawler at the bottom of my cup. I do have several photographs of the cup and culprit. I'm trying to let it go... But now i'm hesitant to visit that location in burlington ontario, as I fear it is hygienically unsafe. I am not the person to cause a fuss, but I fear that this has really put me off.
Do you have a website that I can post my photos? If I post on facebook... You will lose many loyal customers. Sadly, free potatoe wedges has not done anything to allay my fears.

I come to Tim Hortons on a regular basis, an I have noticed there is one particular employee (whom has blue colored hair) who is very unprofessional an speaks to the staff in such a manner that is horrid. I have over heard her swear an be complete an utterly disrespectful to the other employees. In my opinion she should be fired. Employees don't deserve that treatment. An as a paying customer, I come to sit an enjoy my coffee, with her there i have to leave. I am so appalled that she speaks in such away, an its allowed by management. Hopefully things will get better.
