Tim Hortons original k cups

I have been a Tim Horton Kcup fan for many years .. I would drive out of my way to purchase KCups .. recently Price Chopper carries the cups .. I recently purchased a box and inside two were broke open and coffee grinds all over the box and on the other cups .. I've never had this happen over the years of purchasing such product .. I was very disappointed..

Tim Hortons service

It started off asking if the can make 2 dozen fresh muffins. The girl kept looking in counter . 2 times I asked her. I said can you have them make it. Then it clicked in what I was asking for. I figured she must have been new. My niece ask for a melt but can you make the melt with bread that has no seeds. I told her she is allergic to it. She just ask girl to use bread with no seed. Did not say she was allergic and to wipe down pre area or anything. She started to have a allergic reaction and we found seeds in sandwich. I'm not very happy. If someone says they have allergies at least tell the person who is preparing it so that they take the minute to wipe down area. Bad communication skills.

I always go there every day 3 to 4 times. August 16 2019 at 10.30 pm Went to buy coffee and steep tea and donuts. When I reached home. The steep tea was a coffee. For the third times in a month they made the same mistake. So went back at the drive trough and told the same person that he made a mistake. No apologies and just ask what I wanted. I got upset...

Tim Hortons lids

hi
i have been drinking your coffee for years, but honestly i am getting prepared to switch. These new lids are a complete disaster.
They leak, out of 5 i have at least 3 that leak.
The extra plastic is allowing the coffee to cool faster, i end up microwaving the coffee 1/2 way through i did not do that before.
As well, maybe becuase i dislike the lids, i feel i taste the pastic when i drink the coffee.
Regards

Tim Hortons beyond meat

I have noticed that your Belgian Waffle Sandwich no longer appears to differentiate between real meat and ground up peas, water, salt and artificial flavour and colouring aka Beyond Meat. After decades of demanding full disclosure, consumers were finally relatively confident in knowing what is in their food. This "meat?" substitute being slipped into your burgers and "sausages" is a huge step backwards. Beyond Meat is really not that much different than the ingredients found in Beyond dog food .. . For all we know this stuff could be a carciogen. The amount of salt is alarming. I'm going to McDonalds.

Tim Hortons employees dealing with customers

All the staff in this Tim Hortons location are rude. They need to be trained more on customer service. They would never say sorry if they commit mistake and would shout at customers if customers made mistake even if the customer already have apologized. Looks like the employees were not trained well in dealing with people.

One time I was ordering a sandwich.
Me: Hi, i'd like to order a Ham Melt.

Cashier: Ok what kind? (High pitch voice and she was looking at me like I dont know what I'm saying)

Me: Ham melt

Cashier: yeah! What kind of milk?! (She was already shouting at me)

Me: (what is she talking about? I looked at her confused)

Cashier: you said half milk! What kind of half milk?! (Shouting again)

Me: I want a sandwich (looking at her with my voice flat)

As a customer, i felt like she made me look like an idiot. My voice was clear, my pronunciation was clear the i wanted a "HAM MELT" which she should know because it is part of their menu but she shouted at me during the order taking.

Note: she had a hard time looking for the sandwich in the screen. She is not a new employee because i have seen her since the winter semester until this summer semester.

Another incident, the company have their rewards card which we scAn every order to gain a free coffee, donut or muffin.

I was ordering one time and scanned my rewards card while an employee is punching in my order (different employee from above)

In other branched it is ok to scan the card while the staff is punching in the orders. But in this branch, I dont know what is wrong with their till but if i scan the card while an order is being punched in their screen stops or lags for a second, i'm not sure.

I admit that it is my mistake to scan my card without her telling me, but she doesn't have to shout at me and then talk to other employees about me like i am not in front of them.

I apologized during that time but she did not even say its ok or she did not even smile.

Lastly, they are so slow. I know that it is always busy because of the flock of students ordering but in other tim hortons, customers doesn't have to wait 20 minutes in line to be able to order.

This is what I found in my wrap not expected something like that. It's even hard to recognize something wrong as it is a wrap and everything is squeezed in between. See that tomato is getting rotten (that big black spot) luckily I saw that. I am seeing this with my eyes and it looks gross. Atleast these kind of veggies should be given extra attention because they are usually enclosed in a wrap with sauces. Not happy at all

We went through the drive thru at this location. When we got to the microphone we said hello but there was no answer. We got a little closer and the person on the mic asked "do you want anything" in a very rude tone. This awful attitude seems to be the normal thing at this location and the one down the street. We came to this location because of the one...

I am complaining on behalf of the employees that work at the lacombe Tim Horton's. Over the past summer months my coworkers and I have been working in temperatures that get up to 33°c. We have talked to our managers about getting the air conditioner fixed multiple times and nothing seems to be getting done about it. And on top of that we usually cannot get...

As a former business owner, I am appalled by the lack of EVERYTHING at this particular Tim Hortons...the service is super slow, inaccurate and in the end, no one knows who's order is whose. But the biggest complain I have is the dirt and filth. The bathrooms are unusable and seem to be never cleaned. We are retired and have nothing but time, to meet...

Tim Hortons rewards program

I go to McDonalds, I get one reward per coffee.I come here o Tim's and I get just one reward even if I order ten coffees.I forget my card or app for a second, and waiter says I cannot receive reward because order has been completed, even though waiters never ask or remind customers if they have a card or app.Myself and a friend proceed through drive through and he dont get his reward because we did not make two separate orders, this is totally unacceptable and totally ridiculous. How small minded can a company be, its like you offer a reward program but dont want customers to avail of it.

Please comment if you have had these bad experiences with Tims reward program.If everybody used separate orders while going through drive through imagine how waiting time would increase?, or even if they placed separate orders while in line up inside!Has anyone else even noticed this?

Tim Hortons very very bad service

I go to the same Tim Hortons every Tuesday and Thursday on my way to my husbands baseball games in Virgil, Niagara on the lake in Ontario. Not once have they ever completed my order correctly but today took the cake. I ordered a large earl grey tea double double with milk both bags in. The person who took my order at the speaker had me down for 2 teas so when I got to the window I let her know that I only wanted one tea double double with milk, she had to ask again what I wanted and again I ordered a large earl grey double double with milk both bags in. She repeated the order and a moment later handed me my tea. I got to my husbands baseball game only to find out that she gave me my tea black! What does it take to get an order right at this store? Please, please retrain the employees at this store I know for sure that I am not the only person who has this problem with the same store.

Please let me know how you plan to handle this situation.

Best,

Tim Hortons iced capp and decaf coffee

Hello,

I ordered 3 drinks, 2 of which consisted of a small iced Capp and medium decaf coffee at the Deerfoot meadows location in Walmart at 2:48pm. The worker gave me an iced Capp that was completely liquid with froth at the top and no ice at all and a decaf that was half decaf and half regular coffee because they had run out. The location was not busy at all and I was the only one there with 3 workers present therefore I find it unacceptable that products were not freshly brewed and ready to serve. I just wish this would not happen to anyone else because I wasted money on an iced Capp that I will not be drinking.

Tim Hortons drive thru

I amongst many people believe that drive thru should be for small orders such as coffees, donuts, bagels not full meals for many people. I sat in line to order a coffee on my way to work and waited for almost 10 minutes for a car that was only ahead of me by one car. This is ridiculous. A rule should be made that if you are ordering food such as sandwiches and meals that it should be done inside in the restaurant drive thru is suppose to be fast.

Tim Hortons service

I asked for a tray to carry my hot and cold drinks. Instead of giving it to me where I was standing, they put it at another spot. I had to carry my hot and cold drinks, with a sandwich, to that spot. I could have spilled everything or slipped on the wet floor while balancing everything. What kind of service is this?!?

Instead of apologizing to me for this, I had to receive eyerolls and disrespect

My wife and I visited Tim Hortons at Fenelon Falls on Aug 12, 2019. We saw many flies flying inside the store. We wanted to order some donuts but found 2 flies inside the display counter. I felt sick when seeing a fly clawing on every honey cruller happily so I gave up to order it. We just ordered 2 biscuits instead because those were inside another display...
