yuropoor here, quick rundown on Tim?

They make coffee and doughnuts, sandwiches and breakfast items too. It's not particularly great.

It's your typical, crappy, sugar laden Amerimutt fastfood, but somehow also a Canadian icon.
So, for american crap, it's actually not that bad and their "coffee product" is better and cheaper than starbucks, so there's that.

>>16386219
That's a bit too little meat for that amount of tortilla.

Got a cappuccino there once, it was salty. I haven't gotten it since.

>>16386524
You are delusional if you think it's better than Starbucks
Not that Starbucks is good but TH is gas station tier

>>16386193
in the days of yore there were many donut and coffee shops in competition with each other throughout canada. each more or less the same but with subtle differences between them. Tim Horton's had a meteoric expansion in the markets and blew away the competition, with hooks such as roll up the rim (free coffee and donuts and other prizes) and timbits (donut holes). Their competition failed and receded in franchises sometimes totally sometimes just extraordinarily. Tim Hortons dominated the coffee-donut shop market and became a staple of canadian identity. Having a niche monopoly it's competition in those subtle differences is non-existant so everything they sell now sucks and the franchisers tend to use the rent-a-tard immigration system to get ESL's which means the service instead of being canadiana is just more creeping brown tide.

>>16386555
Checked numbers

>Bought out by a Brazilian investment firm 2014
>McDonalds purchases the rights to Timmy's coffee recipe
>Sell tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich combo for 9$ CAD
>Migrate well-loved roll up the rim promotion to an app based reward service
>Staff establishments with scores of third world immigrants offering slightly more than slave wages

Many poor decisions, OP.

One time I ordered a Crispy Chicken Sandwich with no tomato. I got home and opened up my sandwich and it was literally just tomatoes on a bun and nothing else. Very passive-aggressive.

Did the Filipinos cause the shit service and decline, or the other way around? If I'm in an empty mall I stand in front of the Tim's for a few seconds just to make the cunts think I'm going to order something and get off their phones, then walk away

my grandpa used to take me to Tim Horton's when my brother and I would go stay with him during summer. we'd always walk there and I'd enjoy it so much. he would tell us jokes and always give us advice on fishing.
>remember anon, the bait is only the start of the fight
he passed away about 10 years ago. any time I see a Tim Horton's it makes me think about him. thanks OP

Tim's was great when I was a kid, then I got my first job there when I was 13/14 and watched the beginning of the decline in real time. I began to appreciate them again for a hot minute when they had Beyond Burgers, but everyone sperged out about "NOOOOOOO MY HECKIN TIMS CANT SELL THE HECKIN BURGERINOS ITS SO HECKIN WRONG" and now it's once again impossible to get a "decent" burger and fries anywhere for less than ten mapledollars. Their bagels were the last thing they did right but then they shrank those too recently. I hope they dry up completely at this point. Or just, y'know, get good again somehow. Bringing back the lemon + blueberry muffins would be a decent start.

>>16386524
Tim Horton's is literally Canadian garbage
you just want to talk about America

>>16386088
Americans: 1
Canadians: 0

>>16387444
Nice numbers.
You're right, it's Canadian garbage. But Canadian garbage is a tad better than US garbage. Still garbage, but a bit more better and pleasant garbage at that.
And of course I do want to talk about america (hint: Canada is america too!), because I'm obsessed!

What the FUCK happened to their eggs. They turned from omelette style into ostrich eggs. Also tried their roast beef sandwich and I'm fairly certain they used flesh from baby elephants.

>>16387444
It's Brazilian garbage now.
Burger King's Brazlian owner, 3G Capital, bought Tims and merged it with Burger King under a new holding company, Restaurant Brands International.

>>16387548
They used to use powdered egg mix. Now they use fresh eggs like McDonalds.

>>16387594
I find it funny how so many people complain about the eggs now. It makes me think that these people never fry eggs at home so the texture of an egg that isn't made from powder is alien to them.

>>16386551
Tim Horton's used to be the best because they had the best coffee beans, but then McDonald's swooped in and got a contract with those growers.
Now the coffee that McDonald's sells, the coffee that is considered pretty much the best around, is the old coffee Tim Horton's used to sell.

>>16386555
>>16386590
Lol it's true, the Tims near me is staffed entirely by Indian women

They got rid of the hunny mussy.

>>16386088
aside from their breakfast wraps the food and coffee are just terrible these days. they had a killer menu about a decade ago but decided to fuck it all up. their prices are also quite steep these days. worst of all is the god awful frozen donuts. just stale fucking garbage now

>McDonalds coffee = old Tim's coffee
People constantly repeat this meme, but I have literally never seen anyone provide a shred of evidence

>>16388093
It's just something people say. Tim's coffee was always bad, people just used to tolerate it when the rest of the restaurant was good.

>>16388093
don't think anyone knows if it's exactly the same BUT Tim Hortons dropped their old supplier and started roasting themselves and McDonalds started using that same suppler so it's possible. at the very least it is similar to the old Tim Hortons roast. i drink both (whatever happens to be more coinvent at the time) but there's absolutely no doubt Tim Hortons tastes much worse then it used to.

honestly one of the biggest issues Tim Hortons has always had is consistently across restaurants which is something McDonalds has completely nailed for decades. even in the same location the coffee varies widely which i'm assuming is down to the employee making it. you can get an amazing coffee and go back to the same location a couple hours later and get one that tastes like it was made with sewer water.

press releases, new articles, corporate statements etc. it's not hard to find. Tim Hortons is constantly trying to cut costs because they know sales have peaked and it's really their only option. they also thought they were big enough that they could do whatever they want and people would still go there so they made the coffee shit. unfortunately they are mostly right since it's the go to coffee shop for most Canadians to the point it's basically a routine habit and there's really not much real competition

My girlfriend took me to a tim hortons because she used to love going there as a kid and whenever we get into the city she goes.

I knew it was fucking garbage.

from what I know from talking with canukistani's, tims basically fell apart because the original owners sold the business and it promptly got corporatized.

>>16389812
Yup, they cut corners to save pennies here and there. The biggest sin is now they make all their donuts in Ontario and ship them across the country. They always have that frozen and process taste to them

You're wrong. They've been losing more and more money every year and refuse to acknowledge the real reasons why. Every "quarter" is a loss for them

>>16389834
This is all I got

>>16388416
Canadian culture is centered around sales. They have holidays for sales. They listen to store music in case the speaker mentions a deal. They stalk store clerks for sales. They dress and act like store clerks so they can get some sales. The entirety of their modern culture is waiting for sales. They post sassy gifs about getting items during the sale. They watch 24/7 update feed regarding sales. Their biggest event of the year involves throwing parties in honour of getting things on sale. They use sale slang like “savin' them dollars" and "I get to eat this week". When you say "Steak is $15" they're not thinking of a nice juicy ribeye or a flavourful and soft tenderloin; they're thinking of the poorest cuts of the cow. Their cities are completely overrun with people looking for sales. They worship any store that has sales for items on the shelf. Their men sit around watching for sales while their women sit around watching infomercials. They worship sales like BOGO and 20% cash back and the late buy one get one free while attacking the countries who can actually afford food without any sales. Their movies are filled with sales promotions. They send their sons to the store and celebrate when they come back with a can of luxury Campbell's soup that they got for 20% off because those soups are true Canadian luxuries. They watch sales to a point where the numbers no longer make them think of quantities but about percentages off products. They will tell you how much they hate looking for sales and how the “post the in-store prices" meme is a stale joke and they are just pretending to love sales but the evidence speaks for itself in that Canada is a nation of people who eat beef once a month if lucky.

nah it was going to shit long before that. the new owners didn't do anything to fix the issues (actually kept rolling with them) but they sure as fuck didn't start the downward trend. people just like to blame the new owners because it's easier then admitting their precious coffee joint was already going to shit with the old Canadian owners they idolize so much.

Cold drinks have remained consistent but the rest has fallen off. Owned by Brazilians now so I blame them

They stopped baking fresh in 2002. The chain has been dead for ages. Literally the only reason they're successful is their vast real estate holdings and simply being closer to customers than the competition.

>>16386555
Especially before Harper reformed the TFW program but even today Tim Hortons has been one of the hugest abusers of foreign labor which we import for no reason other than to serve Canadians poison. I can at least justify the berry pickers because I've seen how many locals are willing to work on the field for way higher than minimum wage.

>>16386193
Tim Horton himself was based. They got him for drunk driving and banging underage girls like a Chad.

>>16386771
The decline was caused by new management switching to Frozen Parbaked goods instead of Fresh baked goods mostly. This by the way didn't actually save Tim Hortons any money, it was done mostly because it allowed them more logistical flexibility in switching menu items and such, because it was harder to fuck up than fresh baked stuff, and because it allowed corporate to take a larger slice of the profits by selling donuts at a higher cost to the franchises than they did before.

The policy of hiring literally the shittiest workers they can find was a consequence of deskilling the menu. So in Tim Hortons case, the company was destroyed fro m the top down, not the bottom up.

Tim Hortons gained a reputation for complaining of labor shortages in areas with high unemployment and arguing they needed to hire temporary foreign workers when they weren't giving their workers full time shifts. It's all about the bottom line, service and quality be damned, just staff the restaurant with a rotation of part timers who can't speak the local language.

>>16386128

You know he's the one that opened the floodgates and allowed low skilled workers to come here in the first place, right? I don't understand why people defend him.

Tim Hortons has always been a Dunkin Donuts ripoff just slightly higher quality. There was never anything special about that place.

>>16391975

Not true, they also slaughter children in Catholic schools.

It's ok though; Canada being polite and SOOOOO much better than those mean dirty Americans were polite about their ethnic cleansing. They made sure those mass graves were dug fucking flawlessly.

Canadian fast food chain specializing in coffee and donuts.

Mostly a regional phenomenon until they expanded nationwide in the late 80s while memeing themselves into the same position McDonalds holds for Americans

Chose quantity over quality, literally opened at least 1 franchise in everyone Canadian town over 4k, ditched fresh-made in store items for batch-made flash frozen donuts and a cheaper grade of coffee. Now literally shit but boomers defend it as "muh Canadian icon"

They're just always slow as fucking molasses. They're all chronically understaffed and nobody ever works with any sense of urgency even if there's a massive backlog of orders.

At my KFC, when it was considered good, the only people that worked there were Filipino women, and service was spectacular and fast. Not quite sure what happened, but one day, they were all gone and replaced with white women. Half of them were teenagers that didn't give two shits about being there, and the other half were strung out on pills. I ordered a KFC bowl at the drive-thru, they told me to pull over and wait and it'd be right out, and I got it 45 minutes later. Now a bunch of Indian guys work there and it's back the quality it was before.

Nah I think it’s tied to your account on the app. They use these apps to gather data on spending habits and if you allow them to track you all day long like a good goyim your coupons are probably more relevant because then Tim Hortons will know everything you do (and you do it for free)
