ok I'll start

Putting the opening of the lid right on the seam :mad:

Especially when you go throught the drive through...oh I'll just steer with my peaker while I lift off the lid and move it!!
 
Putting waaaay more sugar in than I asked for.

"Double Double" doesn't mean 2 TABLESPOONS shovelled in to a medium.

And obviously employees who no spoke-a da Eenglich. I don't expect that you learn the whole English language, but at least learn the phoenetic sounds for normal Tim Horton order....
 
When going through the drive through and the soccer mom in the car in front orders 1 of everything from the menu.

That's intentional and they're doing exactly what they're trained to do.

By putting the opening on the seam it breaks the air vacuum and prevents the coffee from spilling all over the place.

I applaud any Tim's employee who does this properly, because many don't.
 
Another one of mine is..waiting in line going to work, and old Betsy who is there every morning..can't decide what she wants...just make up your mind...you should have decided when you were waiting in line for 10 minutes..then she has to pay with all her pennies :confused:
 
A few things Ihave noticed....

* How they can serve 10 drive through customers to every 1 in store customer

* The time they refused to exchange my sprinkle donut because it had too many green sprinkles on it (even though I had taken a bite)

* When the manager of the Cobourg location escorted me off the premises because I was sharing a bowl of chilli with my love doll
 
I asked for a large half regular, half hazelnut and half french vanilla and they wouldn't make it. Said that was too many halves.

So I said "make it extra large then"
 
How they have 15 people working the drive thru and 2 working the counter thus encouraging the use of the Drive Thrus because they are that much quicker.

I'm all for a new law banning ALL Drive Thrus. (Seriously.)

Oh, and how the Apple Fritters are shit now. They used to be really great 10 years ago and back. Now, they're crap in comparison. Fucking made in some factory somewhere and shipped frozen apparently.
 
I was inside Timmy's the other day and asked if they had any more chocolate iced donuts and the clueless girl looked at the empty tray and said "nope we're all out for the day". Just as she was finishing her sentence a guy came out from the back with a piping hot batch of them. Shoddy customer service on her part. Timing is everything I suppose.
 
But try to remember who is working as staff there. If you try Wendy's, Country style, and others you can see they are all the same. But have to agree it's a challenge going to the big Mac?
 
They put in too much cream and sugar, I prefer places I can regulate the amount/do it myself.
 
pet peeves?

a 15 car parade in the drive thru and no customers inside the joint.

some lazy bastards can't pry their fat asses out of the car.
 
oh yeah!

for those that do go inside to order..

you're a douche if:

1. you place an order while on your cell phone.
2. you have your sunglasses on.
3. you don't say please and/or thanks.
4. you have to point your donut out.
5. you order a triple/triple.
