Tim Hortons My Credit card information compromised

We made a purchase using a credit card rarely used at Marion Ohio, Marion

Mt.Gilead Rd Tim Horton. Our purchase was made Friday 14th at 2:58 Pm at the drive thru window. The cashier dropped our card, apologized for the drop and delay and returned the card after our 6.66 purchase. At 4:22 Pm our card was used by an unauthorized source and we were alerted by our cardholder .

The unauthorized charge was interestingly for 66.65. The card was canceled and we were refunded the charge.

Thank you,

David C

Desired outcome: The matter is looked into as we and our family frequent the use of this store. We will be waiting for a response from you.

Tim Hortons washrooms

I went into the Tim Hortons at King and Caroline for a coffee and while there I had to use the washroom, I had to get a employee to buzz me in as they keep them locked, the washroom was in total disarray, no toilet paper and the one stalls toilet was so full of feces that when flushed would cause a flood. I came out and told an employee (which had no name tag on) and he just smiled and shrugged his shoulders. This happened on Saturday April 8th at about 1pm. A few of the regulars mentioned that this is always the problem and no one there cares.

Desired outcome: I would appreciate if someone looked into this matter and it is resolved

Tim Hortons Disgusting staff who assault customers

I went through drive thru this morning with my partner and 2 year old as we were getting my partner to work. The woman in the drive thru (extremely rude) told me my card didn’t work, and when I asked to try again she said no I already punched in $50 so here’s your change. I told her I wanted to use my Tim Hortons card because I had money on there that I wanted to spend. She then tells me no and gets a manager or supervisor who was also even more disgustingly rude. She tells me to come inside for a refund. So I go inside and they both act oblivious. The one from the drive thru is laughing and saying “the [censored] is here for her refund” and i was not the only guest in the restaurant but if I’m able to hear that then I’m sure many others heard also. The supervisors or manager that was assisting with my refund was mocking me the whole time and basically laughing that I asked for a refund. I explained myself 3 times and she laughs and said keep explaining yourself I might not even give you a refund if you keep going. I said why don’t you just refund me so I can go take my child to daycare? I leave the restaurant and she comes out to take my license plate down and so does the other drive thru lady. I’m putting my son in his car seat while the manager/supervisor was shoving me away from my car telling me I’m assaulting her when I was trying to get into my vehicle and leave. She kept pushing me and blocked my door from my driver side and wrote “[censored]” across the window of my driver seat. I have a photo of this if needed with a time stamp and location. I had to enter my vehicle from the back seat because of this psycho woman not letting me enter my car. It’s disgusting that this is the kind of employees you have representing your company.

Tim Hortons Staff Extremely Rude

Staff was extremely rude, I was told to F off by the lady making food after making a joke about a mobile order that was left on the counter. I was then informed that the lady was the assistant manager. It is extremely unprofessional and not the first time that she has been this rude. This happened on Friday March 31, 2023 at the Tim Hortons at Jackson Sq. Unit #450. I will not be coming back to any Tim Hortons until this is rectified.

Desired outcome: Loss of job or demotion

Tim Hortons Watford drive through 06/04/2023 around 08.00hrs this morning

For a treat i took my grandson to your Watford UK branch

I tried to place a order by the Lady server could not understand me. I am English spoken with no accent.

After trying at least four times to get the order for what we wanted, a male server took over and we placed our order straight away.

I placed a order at the drive through for a bacon roll meal and a bagel meal, when I got to the window, my grandson asked if he could have a doughnut, and I asked the server to add to the order. He accommodated this and I paid.

He asked I did not move the car but remain at the window to take my order we waited and a lady gave me a juice and a coffee, then she handed me the bag with our food, she then asked for it back as she had given us the wrong order. I asked for the doughnut, she looked puzzled and went and check and then came back with the doughnut.

We pulled forward and left the car park for my grandson to then, say he had syrup instead on ketchup then opened his meal to see he had pancakes. I turned the car around and went back, as asked for what I had ordered. a male server gave us a bag that was just sat on the side and said this is your order. We sat in the car park and ate the cold food. As I was about to leave my grandson said I dont have my doughnut, So again I had to go back in, by this time now late for work

This was a poor and disgraceful service with no apologies for the three attempts at getting our food right, or for the waste of time. The best thing about the meal was the orange juice, my coffee was even wrong ! but I could not be bothered and just kept it. Overall this is a serious lack of customer service

That barrier you have as you come out of the drive through is a serious hazard on leaving the lane for the drive through you cannot see the traffic coming around the corner. Accident waiting to happen!

I would like a response to my complaint

Desired outcome

Refund, an apology - a goodwill gesture - staff training in customer service and delivery of your product food safety of product left on side and then given out, surely foods should have been cooked fresh, seeing as orders had been given to wrong people, infection control ? and some communication training. service with a smile, correction with a apology ! would be great when they get it worn dont you think!?

Desired outcome: As above

Tim Hortons Email hacked - points redeemed

Email [protected]@shaw.ca was hacked and has since been deleted! I NO longer have access to that email account. My Tim's card attached to that email was used to redeem 1100 points March 17!

I immediately after I noticed on my app the points were used, contacted Tim's customer service support and explained.

I have another Tim's account hydro.[protected]@gmail.com

I have been very stressed out over this as I have been dealing with changing all my email and account passwords and have had to deal with other issues with the compromised email account. I have tried a few times emailing Tim Hortons and

I have been patiently waiting for a reply.

Desired outcome: WOULD LIKE 1100 POINTS BACK, BALANCE TRANSFERRED OVER TO NEW ACCOUNT, AND THEN DELETE OLD ACCOUNT.

Tim Hortons Roll up the rim and your service in general

This app is crap. I cannot get it to appear properly. I cannot even get access to everything on the app. I have deleted it and reinstalled it more times than I can remember. I would also like to state that roll up the rim is absolute crap ever since it went on the app. I buy 1-2 coffees a day and won two crap coffee prizes. I never use the card except for roll up the rim. Mainly because the app is junk and it takes extra time to pay. It’s not even worth using anymore. I guess it’s time to go to McDonalds for my coffee. Your company has lost mine and other customers interest. It’s insulting to your customers to think that we should buy so much to be rewarded so little. Long lineups, wait forever for service at any location, receive a simple coffee order that is wrong and tastes burnt or lacks flavour. I am out. Bought my last 2 coffees ever from you this morning. I won’t waste anymore money or time on this business.

Desired outcome: Get rid of your stupid app and go back to the way you had it previously. Perhaps you could change your roll up the rim back to the way it was as well. It appears that you’ve got monkeys. Designing your app. Complete junk.

Tim Hortons Product

Not only do I never find maple flavored donut, which is associated to Canada. Like tims.

I had to walk to a further Tim's and all they had was maple flavored Boston cream, so I took it.

When I took a bite, there was no filing.only a drop on the outside where the poke the whole.

It clearly was not filled, the whole bottom part is shriveled/deflated like an empty balloon.

Desired outcome: Maybe stop selling to every Tom, Dick And Harry. They need to represent CANADA. Sorry TimThis was my last experience with you.

Tim Hortons All of them.

We visited the Ranch location in Strathmore, Alberta on Saturday April 1, 2023 at 10:15 am. We ordered 2 coffees one regular and one 3 cream 2 sugar, both were not hot and tasted very off. There was also no sugar in either despite it saying so on the lid. We had to go to a different location to get a stir stick to see if there was just sugar on the bottom but there wasn’t. Not to mention it tasted horrible. My husband ordered a breakfast wrap without hash browns and he repeated it 3 times because they have messed up and charged for hash browns more times than I can count on my hand and she said no hashbrown. Open it up and there is one inside. We keep getting charged for this and it is adding up. That’s no way to do business! I got an everything bagel with herb and garlic cream cheese. The bagel was stale and there was the thinnest layer of cream cheese on it and you guys charge a ridiculous amount of money for that! To top it off they didn’t cut the bagel again! Very hard to eat while you are driving. I will never eat at this location and am on the edge of not going to your establishment ever again. There are just too many issues for my hard earned money. This branch in particular is the worst! They need to all be retrained. I am just mad at all the money we have wasted at your stores. We have complained before and have just received a we will deal with it and nothing is ever done?

Desired outcome: I wish you would give me back all my money I have wasted on you and shut your doors!

Tim Hortons Bacon breakfast sandwich

My mother (92) and I bought 2 bacon breakfast sandwiches on English muffin in Minden today, the purchase was made thru the drive thru. We do this each week after an appointment, this time who ever made them overloaded the muffin with butter that it ran or dripped out all over our jackets. You could gently press the muffin and it would have a steady run of melted butter. We now have greasy stains that may not come out even with dry cleaning. My mothers jacket is the worst and aged 92 should not have to worry about the expense of replacing.

Unhappy customer

Desired outcome: I would like compensation to cover cost of cleaning jackets or if jacket is ruined compensation towards the purchase of new jacket.

Tim Hortons Coffee at other places around town. Places other than starbucks and tim's.

Patti wouldn't let me talk to "strangers" when we were together, sometimes. If they were safe, she would let me know. When I was by myself, I wouldn't talk to strangers, because of Moms directions. So, the ones Patti would sometimes let me talk to when we were together, were the ones I would be talking to when she wasn't around. They were the ones who paid her 4or my sexual favors. Sometimes, in Hamtramck, there were strangers coming into my bedroom to wake me up and I went to work for Mom. That was money for bread, milk, and Kool Kings. When I wrote lyrics for Marshall Mathers, I included an idea with details. A computer, a fax-machine, and a telephone party line. I came up with a Chat Room idea. AT&T, or Revelation John, brought my Chat Room idea to another level that became the "Information Highway." I met people in the music industry. I wrote "4-Non Blondes." 25 years and my life is still...trying to get up that great big hill, for a destination. I cry sometimes. It's been just under 30 years, now. And, I am homeless, now, again. - Free Coffee, please. That's all.

Desired outcome: - Free Coffee, please. For, let's say, a month?

Tim Hortons Decaf coffee

My local Redwater, AB Tim Hortons was so great up until about 4 months ago. I used to grab a decaf coffee every time I was in town (almost every day) but recently the decaf coffee has been so weak it almost tastes like water with cream mixed into it. The last 4 times I’ve gotten coffee there, I was hoping that maybe it would be different, but every time it tasted like water.

Desired outcome: I really wish they would make the coffee stronger like they used to, I would definitely return.

Today my hubby surprised me with a coffee. Yuck. I had to add sugar, as there was none. I had to add milk, and there was not 3 milk. Then i get to end of my coffee to get a mouth full of grounds

I am beyond frustrated as I understand they want to keep cars moving but they are constantly making mistakes and I’m always so stressed if my tap doesn’t work it’s almost like they are angry about it

Desired outcome: Speak with location about accuracy of ordersAnd try being a bit more patient and friendlier

Tim Hortons Roll up the rim

This electronic roll up the rim is a farce. Prizes expire within a short time period and a lot of older people don’t have cell phones so can’t play, go back to the paper roll up the rim where everyone can play, put the fun back in the game or stop the whole roll up the rim. Don’t use Covid as an excuse cause it’s here to stay like the flu. I’ve heard a lot of groaning over this electronic roll up the rim, not too many people happy with this new version, so put your heads together and change it.

Desired outcome: Go back to the original game of paper roll up the rim.

Tim Hortons Free rollup process

Denied free rollups!
Hi I went through the free rollups process, which is brutal to begin with, and Tim Hortons sent me links to get the rollups. The link took me to my app but no instructions come up and no rollups when I checked in the app. I followed all their directions but still No rollups. I even took screenshots of the process and sent them to Tim Horton and after about 8 emails, they have ghosted me. Isn’t it illegal to have a contest where you have to purchase products to get a chance to win?
I have the latest version of the app as well.

Desired outcome: I just wanted my free rollups. Was going to go through the process every day but because the 1st time still hasn’t worked I haven’t sent in other entries.

Tim Hortons Tim's reward issue and payment issue

I have been a loyal customer since I was 15 years old, my first job was working at Tim Horton's in Burlington. Just saying... There is not a day that passes by hat I do not drive to a Tim Horton's either in Harriston or Palmerston to get my daily fix.

I have two concerns/questions: why is it that that when we use our reward points, we do not qualify for roll ups? If you think back a few years ago, you could still use your rewards card and were handed a roll up the rim cup. So we have to disable the reward app until the roll up event is over...BUT you may lose your points anyway since they expire after 12 months...I like collecting my points and I like using them when I feel like using them. I don't know why you cannot keep this simple and get rid of the technology and make it fun again.

Secondly, since the app update for roll up, my default is always set to pay from my Tim's Card and rewards in one sweep, however, since the update, payment has been coming directly out of my Visa account. I tried correcting this. Tim's employees suggested I contact Tim's main branch. This is why I writing to you

Desired outcome: Fix the app, the layout is not readable, words overlap, confusing appearance. The app is not user friendly, it is crowded and I cannot scroll down far enough to hit the 'done' button after getting a roll up. [protected] Lenora Belle
