Tim Hortons service

I was at a Tim's in a Walmart on the west end of Edmonton, Alberta. There were 3 people behind the counter and only one person helping the 1 customer that was there.
The other 2 employees just stared at me I asked if they could help me and they told me that they were busy.
I left and went to a McD's for a cup of their coffee...much better coffee and much better customer service. Everybody go to McDonald's for coffee now.

In the future, it's best to save the food and bring it back to the location of purchase along with your receipt. Unfortunately they typically cannot refund you with the return of a product.

Tim Hortons item on menu but don't make the item

2445 Brice Rd, Reynoldsburg, OH 43068
I went thru the drive thru and they had a Western Omelet Sandwich Picture on the Screen. I told the lady I would like a western omelet sandwich. She said we don't them. I said there is a picture of it on your screen out here. She said we discontinued it. I said really? Ok then... Then I told her my grandson would like the Hash Brown Sticks. She said we don't have them either. I said there is a picture of it on your screen out here. She said we discontinued it. I said really? Ok then... I think I will cancel my order.
I drove then to the canal Winchester location and ordered both. My brother had surgery yesterday and wanted a cup of Tim Horton's coffee.

Tim Hortons drive thru inaccuracy

Every single time i go through the drive thru at the location at collins bay and bath rd, I can almost guarantee they're going to screw up the order. So today I go through and ordered a large tomato soup combo, with a sour cream donut and a large steeped tea. They asked what kind of bun I wanted with the soup, I said White please, everything on the drive-thru screen was correct, so stupidly of me I figured okay everything should be good. Instead I end up with chili, no bun, a large black coffee and the sour cream donut. At least they got one thing right. Usually I go through that drive thru after 11 p.m. on my way home from work. The staff who work the night shift are always friendly, and accurate. But often seem embarrassed because they don't have any product to sell such as Donuts or muffins. It shouldn't be too hard of a job to do but the day staff there is just horrible. I don't think I'll be going back

Tim Hortons cherry cream cheese pastry without cream cheese

Today, I went to the store on Jefferson and Grand Boulevard this morning. I ordered 1 cherry cream cheese pastry, and 2 bacon egg and cheese biscuits. The biscuits were delicious as always.

The cherry cream cheese didn't have ANY cream cheese. The pastry was very flaky with the cherry spread. I was thoroughly disappointed.

On Saturday morning I ordered the pastry at a Tim Horton's in Dearborn near the Transit Center. I enjoyed the pastry (with cream cheese), that's why I ordered it today.

Please have the quality assurance/control carefully inspect all products for content! I have always enjoyed your products, courteous, efficient and timely service.

Tim Hortons iced coffee

At 2:30am i went through tim hortons drive thru to buy an iced coffee at kennedy and eglinton. There was a dead dirty fly in it..as i sipped on the straw the fly went in my mouth. I am now im concerned about it because who knows what the fly is carrying, like larvae. I went back to tim hortons to complain and they didnt do anything, they offered me a donut. Really? I said no to the donut and told them i will never come back here again or any tim hortons ever..even though i liked iced coffee. I still have the coffee and the dirty fly and waiting to go back to see the manager who starts at 530am. I know they wont do anything, so who do i talk to.

Tim Hortons coffee orders

I have been a die hard coffee drinker of Tim Horton's for 39 years. For the past 6 years I go to Tim's and buy 6 large regular coffees and take them home, I am a little disabled so I can't go back and forth for my coffee so I get them all in one shot. The problem is when I get home my coffees are always not filed to the proper spot it's always at least an inch from the top I've even pour it into a medium size cup and it didn't fill it. When I complain about it they fill the cups for a couple of days but they go back to there old ways again. Now when I complain they give me not only short change me on the level but I get all different coffees from reg dd tt to tea it's not right I spend a lot of money in your business I buy my breakfast lunches and dinners on top of at least my 6 coffees per day. I really don't know what to say but I'm really getting fed up with this and wish you could fix this problem and it's not just one location I get these problems with multiple locations

Tim Hortons service, location and staff at railside road and lawrence ave e

I ordered 2 cups (1med, 1 large) steeped tea through the drive through 2 nights ago. Upon getting to my home which was approximately 14km away from the location, I realized I was given coffee. Due to the distance I could not return the items. I happened to drive by today Oct 31 and told one the staff and they called another staff that had the name Junaid on his tag. I explained the situation and he blatantly told me that he did not believe me. That I was not telling truth and he point blank profiled me based on my race. I was stunned about his approach and told him that I was not poor that I needed to cheat Tim Horton's of less than $4.00 but about the principle of admitting the wrong doing. I will hope that this will be handled accordingly as I will be filing a complaint with the Human Rights Board of Ontario as well.

Unfortunately unless you are able to return the drinks to the store with your receipt, there isn't much they can do. Do you have any physical evidence that you were racially profiled?

Tim Hortons nippon location

It is awful that you have to wait in line forn30 minutes when there is only three people on front of you all because the 20 staff ate talking to each other and not doing their job. It is also awful customer service to not have anything in stock. At least show on the menu the several things you are out of so people don't have to wait in line only to be told you have nothing to make an egg sandwich, a crispy chicken or a cold cut trio at that point of trying to order three different sandwiches after waiting twenty minutes I just waked out hungry and now upset. Horrible experience

You have absolutely no proof that that's what they were going to say. You don't even have proof they were talking about you. Getting so upset over an assumption is unreasonable. In regards to your drink, did you bring it back to the restaurant for a replacement or refund?

Tim Hortons horrible management and customer service

I stopped at the Tim Horton's on memorial drive in Lancaster Ohio on my way home from school. There was a huge like for the drive thru, but it was raining so I did not want to go inside. After waiting over 10 mins, finally the line started moving. As I got up to the speaker the employee says "Our computers are down, if you want to order come inside". First of all, why did it take so long for them to tell me this? Second, they didn't even apologize for the inconvenience. I went inside and there was another huge line of frustrated customers. The lady's in front of me were asking for the manager and on of the employees goes to say, "I don't know where he is" and just stands there. Finally I order, no one ever apologized for the wait and they were very rude while I was ordering. After on of the employees finished making my drink, she set it on the counter and spilled it all over my arm, staining my white sweater with iced coffee. She never apologize, and she didn't remake it either. She handed me the same drink and said "Well, here". I just walked out after that. Horrible customer service from the employees and how could no one know where the manager was?

Tim Hortons pumpkin spice promotion

Went to the Tim Hortons in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia yesterday to order a pumpkin spice donut. Worker stated they were out of them. Asked for the pumpkin spice muffin instead. She then informs us that they never carried any of those items and would not be carrying any pumpkin spice items. However, on the way into this Tim's and at the drive thru there are several advertisements for pumpkin spice items. We've had a couple of complaints about this particular Tim Hortons and not one person from your company has ever responded. Rotten lettuce in a wrap, stale donuts and cold breakfast sandwiches.

Tim Hortons muffins or lack of

I went through the drive through Wed. Oct. 25th at the Tim Hortons on pembroke st east, ( this is the timmys I regularly visit every morning) in pembroke Ontario, ordered 6 muffins and when I arrived at work realized they were doughnuts, not a big deal, mistakes happen, so I called and the lady I spoke with there said she was working the window that morning and handed me them by accident, and to return Thursday October 26th and they would gladly give me 6 muffins at no cost which I thought was fabulous, when I returned Thursday tho no one had any idea what I was talking about and basically said sorry we can't give u any so obviously I was a bit upset, it's a lack of communication and looks bad on the company, and furthermore it's embarrassing as all the employees are looking to see what's happening and also the whole line is being held up over something that should have been felt with already, I'm a Christian to start with and would never try and steal muffins so for them not to believe me got me upset, i feel like I need to pass this on to someone else as I paid for
Muffins and never received them, anyways something maybe to pass on to employees the importance of good communication is key especially when it's an issue like this. Thx for your time

Tim Hortons coffee

I go to Tim Hortons on Mapleton across from the Esso gas station in Moncton every morning for my coffee before work.. The coffee there doesn't taste fresh. It either taste like burnt coffee and it taste like old coffee from the day before. I know they don't collaborate their coffee at night. So if I were you I would ask the staff there if they even know how to collaborate and if not then train them to be able to and if they do know then they should watch the video again. The reason why I know they don't collaborate the machine cause I used to be a supervisor at the Tim Horton on Lady Alda in Moncton NB.

Thank you.

Tim Hortons cleanliness

On October 23, 2017 at 1pm I decided to go to Tim Hortons at the Dixie Outlet Mall for a coffee and a bagel. Before ordering I decided to go to the washroom. In all of my 67 years of attending public washrooms I have never seen one this bad! There was dried feces all around the rim of the toilet. My understanding from my grand daughter who works at one of your other locations these bathrooms are suppose to be inspected every half hour during the day. There is no way this toilet had been inspected for it to be in this state. After leaving the bathroom I just left as I completely lost my appetite.
I feel this needed to be brought to your attention to ensure this situation is rectified as soon as possible.
Respectfully yours,
Barbara Ferguson

Tim Hortons soup

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my food that I was served today. I was on my way to a funeral, was starving and decided to stop at Tim Hortons before the service. I ordered 2 coffee's and a French onion soup to go as I had little time. The store was busy, and I had no problem with the service. My problem was that when I arrived at the cemetery and wanted to eat my soup...it was luke warm. Honestly, I had to put it down and not eat it, as hungry as I was. I was very dissapointed. By the time I was able to reheat it, it was hours later and my soup was just mush. I ended up throwing it away. Being a single mother of 2, eating out is a treat, so when I had to throw it away I was dissapointed.

Tim Hortons ripping off customers
