Only in Mississauga I find this disgusting behaviour.

Why are people just openly littering. It never used to be like this. What happened ?

    well lets see, the food is trash, the way the regulars talk about it, the way regulars throw cups all over the town, the over the top "candadian" branding when its not even canadian owned, the coffee is terrible, the service is terrible, the pay is terrible and the job is terrible.

    surely theres other reasons, but thats a few

    the coffee is terrible

    I hear that a lot. I’m pretty into coffee myself; buy different beans, roast my own beans etc., and honestly their dark roast (when it’s fresh), is actually decent

    I get people have issues with the brand overall, but the coffee itself isn’t nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

    Everything else you said I agree with.

    The coffee is the worst part. It tastes like chewing popsicle sticks. Hardly a wonder the triple-triple is so popular. Not to mention all their frozen confectionery drinks making people fat and dead.

    The McDonalds coffee is much better or the A&W one. Dark Roast was Tims answer to losing their coffee supplier to McDonalds.

    I guess it’s preference and everyone has different palates. Personally I don’t like A&W or McDonalds coffee.

    I cannot drink Tim’s Original roast though, tastes like watered down coffee. Their dark roast is the only one I can drink.

    I would be surprised if the service was great when the pay is terrible. I guess that's another I'll scratch off my list. Months ago I was down in Mexico and the only choices were some no name location, Starbucks, and Tim Hortons. Since Starbucks won't grant meet the union on a fair contract, I scratched that off my list. The no name location didn't have any coffee taste even after extra coffe. Probably using instant coffee. Who knows.
    Tim Hortons was the best I had there.

    Tim hortons literally abuses immigrants and the temporary foreign worker program which affects everyone's wages in the entire country. I am Canadian and anti US but I would way rather give Starbucks my money than Singh Hortons.

    Tim Hortons, I believe, is a big reason why people are so racist towards Indians anymore in Canada. But what can you expect from them. Imagine being scammed into moving to this country and being paid less than minimum wage to serve people literal garbage. Meanwhile your visa is ticking down and you're gonna get booted out of the country anyway. I would give poor service too.

    At least the people working at starbucks near me seem to actually enjoy their lives. Lol.

    An example, I was on a road trip after a flight, Tims was the only thing open at a roadside stop. I ordered a multigrain bagel. It had zero taste and the texture of sawdust and cardboard. It was so bad I tossed half of it in the garbage. While I like good food, I will also just eat what is available, but this was so terrible I couldn't finish it.
