Tim Hortons Points cards

Hello, my name is margaret, I live at 73 Alma st. Ingersoll, Ontario, N5C 1N3. ph: [protected].

I have gone to the tim hortons here in ingersoll 3 times and have been ripped off for my points due to the fact that the hiree was not experienced enough to scan my card. I would like to get my points added to my card and i am starting to get upset about this. I received the bill for one of the purchase I made so I should be able to get my points for it. This is a continuous situation with tim hortons here in ingersoll. Can you please help me? Please call me any time. I would like to have m 3 points renewed. Also when I purchased this coffee, the lid was not put on properly and it had spilled all over my leg.

Thank you

I know it is none of my business, but I should point out two things.

1. Tim Horton's will never see this review.
2. Everyone else who visits this site is going to see this review. This means that everyone, including the normal an the sick is going to see your full address.

Tim Hortons Food and Beverage Orders via drive thru

Hi there.. I am an active contributor to your husiness for many years as most Canadians and Canadian Residents. I particulary go to the tim hortons located at 1000 Victoria Street North in Kitchener ontario. i spend approx $6-$9 daily on my food and beverage order as i work nearby and this is the closest to me. I have always gone through drive through and have had issues with my order but as most people never said anything and just ate or drank what im given as i cannot drive back to have my 1.85 tea fixed. I had evasive surgery last year and cannot drink cream. It makes me violently ill and at times i have been given creamer in my coffee. I frist of all never order coffee. I am a steeped tea drinker. I constantly have my tea messed up and my beyond burger one time had a cold patty with all the toppings put on the bread so by the time i opened to eat it.. the whole burger was saugy and could not be eaten. I am so very dissapointed. The few times i have complained. I am given a free coffee voucher and apologized to. Please fix ur drive thru process. I feel my order is being compromised bc the staff needs to meet certain drive thru times. Please dont be a business tht forsakes cusomer service and quality to be a coffee giant that is just fast. I am very very upset at tim hortons and feel my business holds no meaning. My name is Mandeep Kalota. [protected].. my email is [protected]@hotmail.com. thank you

Tim Hortons Did not receive reward

I made a purchase for my coffee with my Tim's card on my phone (Tim's app). I was expecting the app to recognize that I'm paying through my app and give me my reward. However after the transaction went through I did not see the reward. After talking with the staff person I learnt that if I wanted the reward I was supposed to scan another code on the Tim's app before scanning the code to make the purchase. Is this really my fault or just poorly designed app or poorly trained staff? I would like my reward please and thank you.

The customer service is horrible at the Walmart tims in steinbach, Mb. The products are not filled up - they gossip with each other and they are so rude when we order our stuff. The manager is so rude and has no customer service at all. They never have decaf coffee made. I also order iced Capp's often and they say their machine is down or they have ran...

Tim Hortons original k cups

I have been a Tim Horton Kcup fan for many years .. I would drive out of my way to purchase KCups .. recently Price Chopper carries the cups .. I recently purchased a box and inside two were broke open and coffee grinds all over the box and on the other cups .. I've never had this happen over the years of purchasing such product .. I was very disappointed..

Tim Hortons service

It started off asking if the can make 2 dozen fresh muffins. The girl kept looking in counter . 2 times I asked her. I said can you have them make it. Then it clicked in what I was asking for. I figured she must have been new. My niece ask for a melt but can you make the melt with bread that has no seeds. I told her she is allergic to it. She just ask girl to use bread with no seed. Did not say she was allergic and to wipe down pre area or anything. She started to have a allergic reaction and we found seeds in sandwich. I'm not very happy. If someone says they have allergies at least tell the person who is preparing it so that they take the minute to wipe down area. Bad communication skills.

I always go there every day 3 to 4 times. August 16 2019 at 10.30 pm Went to buy coffee and steep tea and donuts. When I reached home. The steep tea was a coffee. For the third times in a month they made the same mistake. So went back at the drive trough and told the same person that he made a mistake. No apologies and just ask what I wanted. I got upset...

Tim Hortons lids

hi
i have been drinking your coffee for years, but honestly i am getting prepared to switch. These new lids are a complete disaster.
They leak, out of 5 i have at least 3 that leak.
The extra plastic is allowing the coffee to cool faster, i end up microwaving the coffee 1/2 way through i did not do that before.
As well, maybe becuase i dislike the lids, i feel i taste the pastic when i drink the coffee.
Regards

Tim Hortons beyond meat

I have noticed that your Belgian Waffle Sandwich no longer appears to differentiate between real meat and ground up peas, water, salt and artificial flavour and colouring aka Beyond Meat. After decades of demanding full disclosure, consumers were finally relatively confident in knowing what is in their food. This "meat?" substitute being slipped into your burgers and "sausages" is a huge step backwards. Beyond Meat is really not that much different than the ingredients found in Beyond dog food .. . For all we know this stuff could be a carciogen. The amount of salt is alarming. I'm going to McDonalds.

Tim Hortons employees dealing with customers

All the staff in this Tim Hortons location are rude. They need to be trained more on customer service. They would never say sorry if they commit mistake and would shout at customers if customers made mistake even if the customer already have apologized. Looks like the employees were not trained well in dealing with people.

One time I was ordering a sandwich.
Me: Hi, i'd like to order a Ham Melt.

Cashier: Ok what kind? (High pitch voice and she was looking at me like I dont know what I'm saying)

Me: Ham melt

Cashier: yeah! What kind of milk?! (She was already shouting at me)

Me: (what is she talking about? I looked at her confused)

Cashier: you said half milk! What kind of half milk?! (Shouting again)

Me: I want a sandwich (looking at her with my voice flat)

As a customer, i felt like she made me look like an idiot. My voice was clear, my pronunciation was clear the i wanted a "HAM MELT" which she should know because it is part of their menu but she shouted at me during the order taking.

Note: she had a hard time looking for the sandwich in the screen. She is not a new employee because i have seen her since the winter semester until this summer semester.

Another incident, the company have their rewards card which we scAn every order to gain a free coffee, donut or muffin.

I was ordering one time and scanned my rewards card while an employee is punching in my order (different employee from above)

In other branched it is ok to scan the card while the staff is punching in the orders. But in this branch, I dont know what is wrong with their till but if i scan the card while an order is being punched in their screen stops or lags for a second, i'm not sure.

I admit that it is my mistake to scan my card without her telling me, but she doesn't have to shout at me and then talk to other employees about me like i am not in front of them.

I apologized during that time but she did not even say its ok or she did not even smile.

Lastly, they are so slow. I know that it is always busy because of the flock of students ordering but in other tim hortons, customers doesn't have to wait 20 minutes in line to be able to order.

This is what I found in my wrap not expected something like that. It's even hard to recognize something wrong as it is a wrap and everything is squeezed in between. See that tomato is getting rotten (that big black spot) luckily I saw that. I am seeing this with my eyes and it looks gross. Atleast these kind of veggies should be given extra attention because they are usually enclosed in a wrap with sauces. Not happy at all

We went through the drive thru at this location. When we got to the microphone we said hello but there was no answer. We got a little closer and the person on the mic asked "do you want anything" in a very rude tone. This awful attitude seems to be the normal thing at this location and the one down the street. We came to this location because of the one...

I am complaining on behalf of the employees that work at the lacombe Tim Horton's. Over the past summer months my coworkers and I have been working in temperatures that get up to 33°c.

As a former business owner, I am appalled by the lack of EVERYTHING at this particular Tim Hortons...the service is super slow, inaccurate and in the end, no one knows who's order is whose. But the biggest complain I have is the dirt and filth. The bathrooms are unusable and seem to be never cleaned. We are retired and have nothing but time, to meet...

Tim Hortons rewards program

I go to McDonalds, I get one reward per coffee.I come here o Tim's and I get just one reward even if I order ten coffees.I forget my card or app for a second, and waiter says I cannot receive reward because order has been completed, even though waiters never ask or remind customers if they have a card or app.Myself and a friend proceed through drive through and he dont get his reward because we did not make two separate orders, this is totally unacceptable and totally ridiculous. How small minded can a company be, its like you offer a reward program but dont want customers to avail of it.

Please comment if you have had these bad experiences with Tims reward program.If everybody used separate orders while going through drive through imagine how waiting time would increase?, or even if they placed separate orders while in line up inside!Has anyone else even noticed this?

Tim Hortons very very bad service

I go to the same Tim Hortons every Tuesday and Thursday on my way to my husbands baseball games in Virgil, Niagara on the lake in Ontario. Not once have they ever completed my order correctly but today took the cake. I ordered a large earl grey tea double double with milk both bags in. The person who took my order at the speaker had me down for 2 teas so when I got to the window I let her know that I only wanted one tea double double with milk, she had to ask again what I wanted and again I ordered a large earl grey double double with milk both bags in. She repeated the order and a moment later handed me my tea. I got to my husbands baseball game only to find out that she gave me my tea black! What does it take to get an order right at this store? Please, please retrain the employees at this store I know for sure that I am not the only person who has this problem with the same store.

Please let me know how you plan to handle this situation.

Best,

Tim Hortons iced capp and decaf coffee

Hello,

I ordered 3 drinks, 2 of which consisted of a small iced Capp and medium decaf coffee at the Deerfoot meadows location in Walmart at 2:48pm. The worker gave me an iced Capp that was completely liquid with froth at the top and no ice at all and a decaf that was half decaf and half regular coffee because they had run out. The location was not busy at all and I was the only one there with 3 workers present therefore I find it unacceptable that products were not freshly brewed and ready to serve. I just wish this would not happen to anyone else because I wasted money on an iced Capp that I will not be drinking.

Also, I recently took the drinks out of the tray and both the hot drinks I got were both room temperature. Never going back to that location.
