I’d suggest this is the case with the vast majority of employers.

I don’t go to Tim Horton’s unless someone forces me to, I usually go to McD’s or DQ or one of those “Juice” stores (Booster and Jugo)if there is an option to. I just really hate the sheep-like mentality of the populace that really drives Tim Horton’s business practices.

Interesting little thing about recyclism and enviromentalism being a way of life for Canadians considering I see Tim Horton’s cups scattered everywhere and I yet have to see or hear of any town or city in Canada where citizens pick up trash without being asked or expecting anything in return.

I worked for Tim Hortons and couldn’t agree more with this blog. I quit due to the unfair treatment of employees. I agree that this is another factor that should be added in with regards to the list of why Tim Hortons is anti-Canadian. I witnessed unfair treatment of employees because of other employees, because of customers, and because of management. While there were times that employees messed up a customers order accidentaly there were also times were customers were down right rude. I found my position at Tim Hortons de-humanizing when a customer would swear at me or say dergatory statements. I often thought when a customer would act this way with his kids next to him “How would you feel if some man was treating your daughter the way you are treating me?” Most of the employees at Tim Hortons are students and retired individuals and have no right to be de-humanized because of short staffing situations or accidents. The job does entail minimum wage but it does not make an individual any less of a human than the individual being served who may receive a higher wage. However, there were some highschool drop outs and individuals who live within the margains of society working at Tim Hortons as well. This still does not make this employee less human though. No one on here has the right to comment on how Tim Hortons employees should go to the library based on their priveldged position within society. It is a fact that people within the margains of society usually do not escape the margains of society because class mobility is unlikely. And it is the very attitude of calling these oppressed individuals “stupid” that further prevents mobility.
For me– Working night shifts at Tim Hortons was very hard and constantly stressful ontop of attending university fulltime. I think that alot of the individuals complaining about Tim Hortons employee’s intelligence would be surprised about how hard the job actually is if they were put in the same situation. An 8 hr shift usually consisted of 2 15 min breaks but the breaks were usually narrowed down by time spent making food or for simply no reason at all. On top of that being surrounded by the constant chaos of running around while having managers and other employees also say dergatory statements about you and eachother is very degrading.

Tim Hortons coffee is getting worse and worse tasting. An hour after you drink a cup now, I get the worst after taste of nicotine or terrible smoky flavour. I travel all over eastern Ontario and have decided to stay away from Tims. What the hell have you done to your coffee for it to taste this way. No Thanks, I care about my health too much.

I disagree on Tim Horton's being U.S, owned as when I worked for Tim Horton's in distribution it was announced that Wendy's had purchased in 1997 13% of Tim Horton's which was worth a mere 400 Million. It was a strategy that both Tim's and Wendy's used to purchase alot of the same products, with the obvious differences and also to share overall costs for being a Tim/Wendy's combo in terms of real estate. I don't like Tim Hortons for my reasons and I there were any type of competative compation in fast food; Ie. Dunkin Donuts, Tims would not be as sucessful as it is. If you only have one of anything and don't have anything to compare it to, well of course it would be sucksessful. Tim Hortons you SUCK
