Hello I recently traveled for Brantford Ont to Fort McMurray Alberta. I stopped at multiple Tim Hortons along the way, and purchased 2 med coffee's at everyone of the locations I stopped at. Now I realized that the price is going to vary from town to town and province to province but I had one location that was so out of tune from the the rest I actually questioned the store personal. 35.

The prices seemed to bounce around in that range until I stopped at the Tim Hortons in Wawa Ont. Now the Tim Hortons in Wawa is not out in the middle of nowhere, it is in a town that is populated so the prices should not be way higher then any of the other's. 75. Is this correct ?

or is this one store over charging customers. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks Randy Hughes

On Friday, May 5th, 2023, at about 5:30/6:00am, on my way to work, I went to the 24 hour Tim Hortons on 3691 Strandherd Drive, Nepean, Ontario, to get a coffee and a breakfast sandwich. I don't usually do this as this is not my habit. I promise you, in future, I am going to avoid that branch of Tim Hortons, like the plague and I'm going to ask all my friends to do the same and to help me spread the word on social media to as many people as possible, to avoid that branch of Tim Hortons, depending on the response I get from you about the following complaint.

I entered the shop and waited approximately 3 - 5 minutes for service and when it was my turn, I asked the young Indian woman at the register, for a double double PLUS 4 sugars and a bacon and egg breakfast…

I had my Coffee at Tim hortons in 755 Adelaide, londo Ontario. Unfortunately, all tables are not clean, I checked 5 tables before I decided to clean one by myself and sat to get my coffee.

Hopefully you correct this soon.

Was at your location on St Mary’s Road, May 7, around 730am, only a couple of other guests in the store. There were about 4 East Indian staff, each one speaking loud in their language! Can this excitement, loud talking not be controlled, even a request to converse in a English language ?

Nanaimo brooks landing 930am may 6th I’m a loyal customer who spends 20 bucks a day 365 days a year. I order my coffee as per norm. I go to the window and they asked me to back up to the marker and then waived me up when it was ready.

I asked why thinking I did something wrong. Turns out it’s about a timer. By backing up not only was the true wait time gamed . Moving ahead looks like twice as fast service time. I was made to participate in unethical behaviour and it’s unsafe.

This data collection suppose to help Tim Hortons .. this behaviour is unethical, unsafe and i morally object in being force to participate , unaware, of what I perceive as low level fraud. Do better.

My manager in the morning shift speak very rudely with me. In front of all team members and customers tooo. if anything gone wrong they always blamed me even If I am not involved in that one. Also. At my behind my back they talk very vulgar with other team members.

I leave my job because of stress, depression. Still now, I am scared, I am unable to do any other job, Just because of that scaredness in my mind. I am felling very depressed. I am complaining this now because I don’t want that any one else can suffer from this.

But still, at that location, they are doing the favourtism. No one speak over their because of their job as every one needs money to live. In starting I also did some shifts under the old manager, and I personally feel she so nice and understanding.

Moreover,…

I ordered a herb and garlic pastry today from the store in Bayfield Ontario Canada. When I arrived home I noticed the pastry smelt of jalapeño. As I would have been in a life threatening position if I had of eaten the pastry given to me I could have died.

I contacted the store and spoke to the manager, she was not very sympathetic. I have visited this store once before and the product I wanted to purchase (donuts) were not available. I was conducting a meeting and wanted to provide a snack for the participants.

I will not be visiting any of your stores in the future..

I am writing specifically on the Tim Hortons in Carbonear, Newfoundland. I have lodged several complaints to the individual store but have gotten nowhere. Something needs to be addressed at this store as the waiting time once inside can be almost a half an hr. to be served.

I have seen countless customers complain while in line for so long and some just leave before being served. They only open 2 cashes but one is always serving the MOBILE orders and not the customers. Can someone be assigned to the other cash when Mobile orders are being taken care of?

This has been a long ongoing problem for this particular store. The staff are very slow. Hoping this can be dealt with.

This is the 4th time I am going to the Tim Hortons at 4200 Sheppard Avenue E, Scarborough and have been treated with poor Customer Service and rudeness. It is a poor reflection on Tim Horton's as their service is usually good.

I work across the road from this location and my hours are very long as I do taxes. It is convenient to go there, however, I have started to tell neighbours, friends and clients not to go there.

I believe in giving 2nd chances, however, I went there this morning, rudeness, my bagel and cream cheese was not cut in half, it seems that the cheese has been flattened and some taken out as I go to other locations and there is always more cheese.

As I had every reason I asked for my receipt as it was not offered or freely given.

I am very disappointed that no one goes…

The women’s washroom was absolutely disgustingly filthy. The tables had not been wiped. Food and service were fine but surroundings terrible. We thought of calling the public Health When we told one of the servers about the washroom. She said. We know????? Seriously

The coffee is gross. Everyday at 5am or so. I spend between 14 and 15 dollars every single morning. Now that you've changed the coffee (don't say you didn't become it's disgusting ( poor customer service and I have to waste more money finding a good coffee literally going to different tims to see if it's better.

I will not be spending my money on a restaurant that turned gross. The temperature of the coffee is too high and your food is ugly and not the good food anymore. You've ruined Tim Hortons an iconic Canadian shop.

I don't like the new owners. They ruined the restaurants reputation. They've ruined the food and coffee. You may as well shut down.

What the devil is going on at Tim Hortons? Points have increased from 70 to 400 for coffee. Maybe 200 would be more acceptable. I won a coffee for roll-up and I have coffee every day. Your special offers are questionable.

Is there new management because you are going to loose me as a customer and make my way to Macdonald. You really took a nose dive this year. W0W!!!! so dissapointing.

I am contacting you today to express my disappointment and therefore the end of my business with Tim Horton's.

I have been a customer of Tim Horton's for as long as I can remember but now I have to discontinue my business with Tim Horton's.

Yesterday was the first time in a few months that I wanted a sandwich from Tim's, recently I have only been purchasing tea, cold beverages and muffins due to being unemployed, but I was so looking forward to a treat. However, when I ordered my long anticipated sandwich I was informed that Tim's no longer has any other bread than white bread.....I do not eat white bread - some people cannot eat white bread - so I changed my mind and decided I would have a bagel, only to be told that the only bagels are white bagels, different varieties of white…

To Whom It May Concern...... I purchased gift cards for my staff for HCA(Health Care Aide) week in the fall and found that none of the cards were working after they were given to the employees. 00 paid. The employee that did them for me was not very experienced and very unsure of doing the transaction but he told me they were all good to go.

I found out after that none of them were done properly and my staff returned the GC's to me saying that they didn't work. I brought them back to the location (Corydon and Stafford in Winnipeg) I purchased them at with a copy of my bank statement showing the complete purchase amount for them and was told that I could not get any of my monies back or to have a GC…

Today I ordered a BLT no lettuce add butter and upon looking at it before leaving drive thru window my sandwich was built poorly,there were only 2 tomatoes stacked on top each other placed on a mound of bacon with no mayo. I sent it back asking for my 3rd tomato as well as asking for the bacon be stretched out and add mayo.

I was extremely disappointed as it wasn't even busy at 9:08 am, the tomatoes were soggy and old. Never happens at Subway . This Sammy was below Tim Hortons standards!

On Sunday April 16th 2023. My husband and I went to Tim Hortons located at 368 Lakeshore Drive. Our order was wrong from the sandwiches to our beverages. Then another customer complained that the tables weren't wiped down. This is not the first time this has happened.

Absolutely worst Tim’s u can go to! Just cause it’s local save ur money and drive to the next Tim’s where ur order can be made correctly and without being harassed by staff and have them getting angry with u cause there staff doesn’t know what’s on there own menu… would be real nice if they would put there arrogant asses to the side as I go there almost everyday for work they almost get everything wrong everytime… if I had to return every incorrect item they wouldn’t be in business and

i wouldn’t make it into work. I no longer care for any of there wellness at this tims I’ll be trying to do and bothering head management to get this place shut down!!

I visited Tim Horton on 6th street and 10th Avenue in Burnaby. Around 6 PM. I requested one Dozen Muffins and One dozen Donuts. Unfortunately they only had 8 muffins. The sales girl insisted on charging me for 6 at half a dozen rate and two at per piece. I pleaded that if they did not have dozen it was not my fault. I suggested that I be charged Dozen rate. The supervisor Jasmine Saran was called. She was refusing to even listen. She would not look at the rationale. Worst was she had the courage to insult me by saying "I can see how much common sense I had" - This is unacceptable.

She offered to bake fresh in five minutes. I gladly accepted and said 5 minutes is fine but she retrived her stance that it could be longer.

I am available on 1-604 307 2465 to explain further but I am willing…

The location on trethewey and Jane has the worst customer service. April 16, 8:21 am I asked for 3/4 reg and a 1/4 French vanilla. I tried to taste it b4 I left, but it was hot, so I went to the laundromat, (close by) tasted it, it was only coffee, I went back told her it had no French vanilla, she said she saw me tasted and

pus away my coffee, implying I am lying, of course I got super mad. ( check your cameras) This is not the first time,

It doesn't seem to matter what Tim Hortons you go to. They don't understand steep tea. I live in Kamloops and not one tim hortons understand steep tea, I always get a Original blend coffe. It pretty bad the I have to sniff my order just to make sure that i get my tea.

I should not have to do thi everytime. Either staff need to be retrained, take reading lessons or make or it need to be change in the tills and screens to more readable for staff.

As an employee of Oakville Trafalgar Hospital myself and other employees have very short breaks times. I have noticed over the past six months that at peak times of when employees all go on their breaks 10am and 3pm the wait time in line is approximately 20 minutes. The staff that work at the 2 check out windows are busy filing the mobile orders instead of waiting on the people in the line up. It is extremely frustrating watching them making mobile orders a priority and leaving both order stations unattended. The employees of the hospital provided a lot of business to Tim Hortons on a daily basis.

There should be a dedicated mobile staff for those orders only and 2 staff at the order stations. I am not sure why the mobile orders take precedence over everything else.

Thank you for your…

Tim Horton’s at at square one Mississauga by the side of Walmart. It was two weeks ago I visited on my lunch hour. Between 1 and 2. The cashier mixed up my order. I was supposed to use my deal on the app with sandwich and soup.

I found out when I got back to the lunch room it was just a soup. I went back and mentioned it to the same cashier which I think his name was Iobel. He wore a turbin. He said he would make sure he put in the sandwich but he realized he did not give me the receipt and then argued with me that I only ordered the soup.

So then he gave me the order again I walked away got halfway to the lunch room and he just added an extra bun with the soup but no sandwich I went back again by this time there was my other coworker there and mentioned to me they mixed up her order the…

This afternoon I was in the drive thru line for 19 min. I ordered two coffees and a lightly toasted cinnamon raisin bagel. The coffees we got were not hot and the bagel was some kind of cheese bagel with cream cheese.

Unfortunately I was not anywhere near the restaurant when we opened the bagel which my wife and I were going to share. Unfortunately also we did not have a receipt to indicate our purchase. Thank you for listening. Henry

I ordered a coffee at your Harriston ontario drive through location, the truck in front of me was given a coffee and then handed it back to your employee with the drink tab open, then when I pulled up to get my coffee the employee at the window handed me a coffee with the lids tab seal broken, and as l was pulling away l noticed that it looked like someone had taken a drink from it, l find it sad that this woman that served me thought that it was ok to do so.

I am attaching pics of the cup of coffee that l was given. Time stamp of picture is 12:30pm today Thursday March 30

I would like to express my concern about the fact that the employees at Tim Hortons do not speak English to each other behind the counter my family is Multicultural so this is not written out of discrimination or racism. We are a bilingual country here in Canada and we do have a large population of ethnicities.

I feel that in a public workplace English should be spoken amongst the employees. I just visited one of your restaurants and there was only one Caucasian person, the rest were of a different ethnicity. the entire time I stood in line the employees were speaking their language, which was not English.

I would like to know how this is fair to other employees who do not speak that language. How do I know, as a customer, that they're not talking about me because I had a very specific…

To whom it may concern: Hello, my wife and I are currently switching stores. We are disgusted with the store at 4250 McKinley Pkwy, Hamburg, NY. The employees at this store act as if you are trying to pull something on them, when you correct them, because the order is wrong when receiving at the drive thru.

Bad attitudes , smart remarks and comments are things that show poor customer service skills. In most of our experiences with this store food , sandwiches, most of the donuts can’t be served after 3pm. They say they just don’t have anything.

We generally stop here (our second round of TimHortons) after the kids get off the bus. 00 per day. We are big supporters and have been for years. We thought you would appreciate our concern with your store, as we look for another within a close…
