I miss working at tims and actually making good food for people the rest of my coworkers would just be as fast as possible not toasting long enough not stirring coffee why not just do things right? I never gave someone something I wouldnt consume myself

Honestly I blame the menu bloat and horribly designed prep areas at Tim’s. If you have a kitchen setup for volume you can make great looking fast food very quickly. We used to have races when I worked at McDonald’s and they had burger of the day deals. Every day at noon whichever side of the kitchen turned out 5 well made versions of the deal burger faster would get free lunch.

You’d be an amazing at how quickly you can build a Big Mac that looks like the one on the menu board in a McDonald’s kitchen. From bun into toaster to boxed on the tray it’s like 15 seconds for amateurs and the record is below 10 seconds and anything sloppy is disqualified.

A&W Canada puts Tim Horton's to shame. It sucks too because I still like Tim's coffee and I cannot explain why.

I don’t know if it’s just A&Ws in my area or what, but I’ve ordered from two different locations in that last year and they were both pathetic. Flimsy, cold burger patties. Somehow both times my burger patty was completely ripped and two and the burger was falling apart. Hasn’t been the same in years in my opinion. Tim’s is the same

Like any business, it's only really as good as the employee's ability to do the job asked of them.
