Wow, where to start. I have never in my entire life received such horrible customer service. I live in Port Alberni BC Canada, and I go to the Tim Hortons on Redford Street every morning as it's closest to my house (otherwise I would boycott this location all together) I spend at least $10 - $16 every day for my orders. When I order I ask for breakfast...

On Sunday August 25, 2019 I visited the Tim Horton's on Market Drive in Milton. I ordered my usual morning coffee, and a B.E.L.T. without the egg. I decided to order this product based on the enticing photo at the Drive Thru window. What I received was FAR different that the advertised product, as well as the quality of the product was incredibly...

I've gone here over twenty times now and they don't have iced coffee. They said they need to make it and then put it in the fridge. This has led me to go to Starbucks 4-5 more often as they always have iced coffee. Extremely rude staff also the way they explained it. It's obvious that many people have complained about this as I've never had an issue with...

This morning our family went to the Aylmer Tim Hortons for breakfast before heading on our family vacation. We waited in line only to be told "sorry we only have 1 egg left". I was shocked that on a Saturday morning there would be no eggs?! Then I was offered bacon and sausage sandwiches and we were all hungry so I said "sure". Then I'm told "actually we...

Tim Hortons body hair in my food

I went to this location today (august 23, 2019) and got 2 bagels with cream cheese and a couple of cinnamon cream cheese bites. Got it to go to have it for lunch at work and hen I arrived and unwrapped the bagel - thankfully before eating it - there was a big black thick hair that looks like pubic hair, very much attached to it. I can't express in a few words how repugnant that is and despite of the money and time I spent, I am now without lunch and have to work until late in the evening. After seeing the lack of hygiene of this place I can't even think of eating the other items I purchased. This is a heath hazard and I am absolutely disgusted.
I am looking forward to hearing from you because this is just not acceptable.
Thanks.

Tim Hortons staff attitude

Name of Employer: John Roque

I would like to report a conflict between me and the person working as a branch supervisor. There have been several incidents over the last few days, and I feel that it is time to report a formal complaint against him.
I would like to report the occurrences on record as follows: the aforementioned person and I had an argument over throwing the garbage in the recycle bin and he bashed me by saying if you'll take anything u have to ask me first without even knowing that i only came to throw some paper in the garbage bin with a very rude body language which turned into undisciplined way, habit of passing comments against few other of his own coworkers while on the other side we can listen clearly his rude and bad behaviour. He has been doing it frequently, and no one confronts him for that. But after tolerating him for several days, I confronted him saying that whatever he did was unethical and not acceptable at cost. But despite that he continues to do so, and now time has come that you take cognizance of his behavior and enforce strict action.

Tim Hortons belgian waffle breadfast sandwich

08/22/19 Westlock, AB location. I ordered a Belgian Waffle breakfast sandwich with sausage today. The waffle was way too sweet for a breakfast sandwich. The syrup that is baked into the waffle was crystallized and I was crunching sugar crystals as I ate the sandwich. This location has been know for being very slow at times. Stand and wait in line with one till open and the person working the till is also filing the order. Very frustrating. I order coffee once in a while but the lids are terrible and dangerous. It has been over 6 months since I was there last. I will not order the Belgian Waffle sandwich again. I still have a headache from all the sugar. Anita

Tim Hortons fly on the donuts

To whom it may concerns,
I am writing this while I've got so angry because of the bad experience in your Cornwall center branch. I am working in Cornwall as well, so I use that branch a lot. Unfortunately, today I want to buy donuts for my son but I saw a fly in the donuts stand(or whatever you call it), I told the employee but she didn't pay attention, I told her 3 times, then she remove the tray and fly went and she put the tray back. I told her she should throw away the donuts which there were fly on them, but she didn't pay attention, finally another girl came and throw them away with bad behavior and awful body language. The supervisor found and came to me and apologized.
This dirty experience happened at about 7pm in August 21 and I feel responsible as a mother who cares about his child health and also others, to report you this .
Regards,
Mahfam

Tim Hortons customer service

On Aug 19/19 I went through the drive thru at 3049 Jefferson Drive, Brockville, ON and ordered an extra large steeped tea with 2 milk and 3 sweetener and a large steeped tea with 2 milk and 3 sugar. Upon reaching the window after waiting approx. 15 mins in line and taking my money for both drinks ordered, I was told by staff that there was not enough steeped tea for my extra large. I paid for the large and drove to another Tim Hortons in town to get my tea.

On Aug 19/19 I went through the drive through at 2379 Parkdale Avenue, Brockville, ON around 6 pm. I ordered an extra large steeped tea with 2 milk and 3 sweetener and a large steeped tea with 2 milk 3 sugar and a small chocolate chill. The person taking my order did not speak English very well. When I got up to the window and after I paid, I spoke out my window at staff member and questioned that both cups were steeped tea and I was told "yes, yes". Upon pulling out and onto road my daughter noticed that the large steeped tea was actually coffee. So I then drove up to the next Tim Hortons on my way home at 3049 Jefferson Drive, Brockville, ON and parked my car. I took my large coffee into the staff member at the counter where I was asked if I went through the drive through there. I explained that I had just within the last 10 mins purchased at the Tim Hortons down the road and was unable to turn around due to traffic and lay out of this Tim Hortons and just wanted to have my drink remade. This staff member looked at me as if to say, you didn't purchase this here. She then proceeded to correct my drink and not once during our interaction was there an apology made.

On Aug 20/19 I went thru the drive thru at 77 William St, Brockville, ON around 8 pm. Placed my order as above for 2 steeped teas and when I got to the window paid for my drinks. The staff member at the window passed out the large drink which was in fact a coffee...again! Then when asked if the extra large was tea I was informed that it was coffee as well. I asked why coffee was made when I asked for tea and staff member told me " I didn't hear you say that" the drive thru window was closed and hollering within the store proceeded to the effect of "these were supposed to be tea" when staff member came back to the window it was "here is one and here is the other" as she passed out the drinks. Again, no apology!

So as you can see we drink a decent amount of Tim Hortons at least two a day times two drinks is a substantial amount of money being spent. These occurrences are only a small representation of the service, attitude and incompetence that is being delivered by your staff. On many more occasions I have arrived home to have what is marked as steeped tea be coffee, or the steeped tea that is received is old and bitter. There have also been numerous times when I order my drinks as noted above and will wait 5 to 10 minutes in line at drive thru to get to window and have staff ask if I want bagged tea as they do not have enough steeped tea. NO! I DO NOT WANT BAGGED TEA! If I wanted bagged tea I would have asked for it. I used to work at Tim Horton's and I know that it takes just over 5 minutes to brew a full pot of steeped tea.

I am writing to let you know how dissatisfied I am at the customer service that is being provided and the quality of product leaving your stores. If people asked for refunds or compensation every time there was an issue your company would go bankrupt. I feel the best resolution to this for me is to boycott Tim Hortons for the next while and to tell all the people that I know of how poor the service and product are becoming.

Frustrated and Disappointed,

KCruse

Tim Hortons coffee

I had to wait for 42 minutes while they took a long time with five customers that were standing at the cashier for half an hour. They had one cashier on duty. I had to wait 42 minutes just to buy a cup of coffee. There was only 1 cashier on duty because they said it wasn't busy enough to open another cashier. They took an extremely long time with 5 customers and they said there was a big order and it took half an hour to process their order. I also find that the prices of Tie Hortons coffee are too expensive and they too much for coffee. a medium coffee is $1.80 and an extra large coffee is $2.25

Tim Hortons rewards card

I have had the rewards card since it launched. I thought it was a points program so. To my surprise when I used it yesterday August 19th 2019 the cashier told me my next one was free. I'm surprised because I have been paying for my coffee everyday! And have never gotten a free coffee. I work Monday to Friday sometimes even Saturday and Sunday. Do the employee not know this. I'm annoyed that for months I've missed out on the whole point of having the card.

I have been to this franchise (Cochrane) two days in a row and their rewards program is down. So I would've had free coffee this morning and again I can't get it. Why bring a system into effect that is flawed. I understand technology, but not giving me least a receipt to get the rewards credit for 2 days days is wrong. It's your error. I want my rewards.
