  1. Prices go up at Tims, yet i could be a multi millionaire if i was paid a Quarter for their cheaply made paper cups that leak so bad the wind could blow a hole through.

  2. I don’t believe Tim Hortons does well close to the Canada border. There’s two locations in Houston and a third coming up and they have been killing it

  3. T Hortons isnt doing well, from my experience, because they’re rude as heck to new customers.
    I went in last night for the first time, and experienced repeatedly rude and snarky comments and responses from the women behind the counter, when they were able to set their phone aside for a second to help me. I was shocked at the attitudes of more than one person working there. I wont be going back. There are other places where people are actually nice.

  4. I absolutely love Tim Hortons coffee. ❤

    Unfortunately, I’m in Southern California and I can’t see their brand competing against the coffee behemoths Starbucks and Dunkin’ that litter the local landscapes.

  5. Tim Hortons is quiet popular here in the Philippines. I was able to get to know Tim Hortons because of social media. Lots of Filipino content creators in youtube were able to migrate to Canada because they got jobs in Tim Hortons either as food counter attendant or supervisor. There are few Tim Hortons store in Metro Manila but sooner or later they will expand throughout the Philippines.

  6. Tim, you need to switch back to the bean you used before this bean, your coffee is horrible, your coffee used to be the best but y'all changed it up with a cheaper bean that tastes burnt at every location. Please switch back

  7. Sucks because of their franchise owners .
    I worked in Tim hortons Innisfil beach road Ontario Canada .
    But after shifting Toronto they promised to shift me in another branch in Toronto but after leaving letter from Innisfil branch to Toronto branches I can’t acted many times Seth’s HR departments officers but they ignored and accepted my transfer letter as resignation letters .
    So now I hope Tim hortons HR department do not interfere into my personal job and all forms and applications .
    Thanks Seth’s hospitality for bad politics in your branches ✌🏼

  8. This is no joke. When I lived in Edmonton, there was a Tim's on a certain street corner and kitty-corner … on the SAME corner … to this Tim's was an ESSO station with a Tim's inside of it!!!

  9. I lived in Niagara County, New York for one year and I worked at Tim's for 9 months of that time. Odd as it may be I have dreams involving Tim's and I wish I could own one where I live. I believe the business would thrive

  10. Only Canadians like it. Everyone else sees it for what it really is. Swamp water. And I'm canadian and have drank tim Hortons every day for the last 12 years.

  11. A&W: mayonnaise everywhere: 0/10. Tim Horton's sandwiches: 0/10. Mcdonald's big mac/chicken: mayonnaise everywhere: 0/10. Mcdonald's hamburger/double hamburger: no mayonnaise: 2/10. The thing is that everytime Mcdonald's wins it over the next big garbage chains around them. a demonstration to how much Tim Horton's not good.

  12. I live in Vancouver Canada. I ordered a cilantro lime chicken wrap today. It was probably the grossest awful tasting thing I’ve ever eaten. I was starving and could barely eat a third of it. Lucky I had a maple donut to chase that horrible taste away. The coffee I ordered was very good, but their food is reliably bad.

  13. to me, Tim Hortons always have been the worst place to dine in. There's simply nothing good on the menu. Tim Hortons: 0/10. Mcdonald's 1/10. Here's the difference. There is a winner between the 2. 😄😄😄😄

  14. It should be struggling in Canada here, because the coffee is garbage! Can't believe the people who associate Tim's and Canada and good coffee in this day and age. Corporate garbage
