As a tourist, indeed it's profoundly disappointing, unless you understand that Canada has much greater influence from Britbong culture. Consider Douglas Adam's comments upon British pub sandwiches:
>There is a feeling which persists in England that making a sandwich interesting, attractive, or in any way pleasant to eat is something sinful that only foreigners do.
>"Make 'em dry," is the instruction buried somewhere in the collective national consciousness, "make 'em rubbery. If you have to keep the buggers fresh, do it by washing 'em once a week.''
>It is by eating sandwiches in pubs on Saturday lunchtimes that the British seek to atone for whatever their national sins have been. They're not altogether clear what those sins are, and don't want to know either. Sins are not the sort of things one wants to know about. But whatever their sins are they are amply atoned for by the sandwiches they make themselves eat.
Likewise, Canadians eat shit and they know they're eating shit but it's somehow accepted as punishment for the crime of not being born slightly further south. There is a strong element of, "it may be shit, but at least it's our shit." (See also: Fidel Trudeau's reelection history.)

Yes we know it's vile. They've successfully marketed themselves as Yay Canada, people will sit in a drivethrough lineup for 20 minutes to get a giant cup of hot shit so they have something to hold onto during their kid's hockey practice, it makes them feel like they are partaking in Canadian Culture. You're not supposed to think about how fucking terrible the coffee or the food is, just buy it and fit in with all your associate employee contemporaries

Apparently it used to be better.

On August 26, 2014, Burger King agreed to purchase Tim Hortons for US$11.4 billion.[12] The two chains became subsidiaries of Toronto based holding company Restaurant Brands International, which is majority-owned by Brazilian investment firm 3G Capital, on December 15, 2014

It’s still better than Dunkin Donuts. I got stuck on a flight for 20 hours once. I wasn’t doing keto, so I was starving. I got off the flight and Dunkin’ Donuts was the only thing open so I just went another hour without food. That shit is NASTY.

Honestly love their famer's wraps and shitty cheese and egg muffins. Their regular coffee is disgusting, its true. But its all so cheap. And when it's averaging -25C outside for three months of the year the culture is to have a hot drink in your hand and in your stomach. Next time you go ask for a white hot chocolate with a shot of espresso - one of my former Filipina co-workers who used to work at Tim's got me onto it.

Came to say this. Back a few decades it was quite good, but especially since then it's tanked in quality and gets worse and worse. Also used to be when I was in high school a pretty decent job. My cousin worked there, learned how to bake and became a baker. But that was when the stores actually made doughnuts, not just have them shipped from factories.

Gun to my head I'd eat fucking Mac Donalds over Tims at this point which is rough.

The only leaf franchise worth visiting.

A burger place that has a topping & condiment bar like Subways, can't believe this model isn't more popular.
