Sorry, not a South Park reference… in the least! In fact, this article’s not even geeky it’s more of a general rant. Tim Hortons has failed me not once, or twice, nor even thrice! The amount of fail most definitely EXCEEDS! Now, why would I insist to keep coming back to a place that continues to fail? Could it be that I am an addict to secret ingredients? Could it be that I have been brainwashed by society that this is the one and only place I NEED to feel whole again? Do I truly believe that their tea is superior to the tea I make at home? OR perhaps it’s because I’m Canadian, and Tim Hortons is just our thing. Whatever it is, this fail still needs to stop cuz I’m not stopping going!
Anyways, what makes it so fail you ask?
Incident #1, Order: Steeped tea double-double with milk.
Fail Factor: They used cream.
Incident #2, Order: Green tea and boston cream donut.
Fail Factor: Gives a chocolate dip donut saying there are no other donuts so you have to have this one.
^^^ This one PARTICULARLY annoyed me seeing as I didn’t even have a choice. There was no donut opt out, they couldn’t even notify us before the pick up window, just here’s the donut take it because we really don’t care what you think.
Incident #3, Order: B.E.L.T., on everything bagel.
Fail Factor: Bagel with lettuce and bacon… no egg, no tomato… You can understand the disappointment. This isn’t a sandwich at all… This was the most disappointing of all of these, especially cuz this was my breakfast that morning.
Incident #4, Order: Toasted everything bagel, no butter.
Fail Factor: This one I can understand, though it is still incredibly illogical. A whole bagel, not sliced or anything… Toasted from the outside. WTF
Incident #5, Order: Large green tea.
Fail Factor: They must’ve confused it with the other things my friends ordered cuz my green tea had milk in it…
Incident #6, Order: Chicken club sandwich with honey mustard.
Fail Factor: Yes, I said in addition to any sauces that would normally be used but anyone who has EVER made a sandwich knows that the more sauces, etc that you add, the lesser quantity you put of each one. You do not pour ridiculous amounts of each one. This thing was so ridiculously saucy that I couldn’t even finish it. It was a sauce bomb…
These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head, and also these are just the ones that have happened only to me, not including the stories I’ve heard. Just cuz it’s a minimum wage job does not mean the people who work there should be allowed to be this incompetent.
If you have a job, do it to the best of your ability cuz there are people out there who wish they had the opportunity to do that job and do it right. I understand people make mistakes, but there is no other place I have ever had such a high concentration of fail. The orders are spoken simply, and are in some cases written on a piece of paper to enforce clarity. So tell me, is it really that hard to take a job seriously?
