Official Rules For Visiting Tim Hortons
Tim Hortons - OFFICIAL RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.
1. When you enter a Tim Hortons and see a line to one side of the restaurant that DOES NOT mean that you can start another line on the other side.
PENALTY: TOO MANY LINES. People guilty of this infraction must buy coffee for everyone in the original line.
2. If you cannot see the donut you want available in the display you CANNOT ask for it since the server will then go into the back and eventually return to tell you that - guess what - they don't have it!
PENALTY: DELAY OF GAME. People guilty of this infraction must return to the end of the line.
3. The Drive-Thru is for ordering coffee and donuts ONLY. If you need to order a sandwich or soup get out of your car and go inside you lazy slob! It takes too long and they'll probably get your order wrong anyway's, so save some greenhouse emissions and remember - NO ORDERING FOOD IN THE DRIVE-THRU!
PENALTY - OVER ORDERING. People guilty of this infraction will have their tires deflated on the spot.
4. Cleaning the Hot Chocolate and Flavoured Coffee machines is FORBIDDEN during times of the days where there are actually customers in the store. What kind of business takes a product off-line in the middle of theday!?
PENALTY - UNNECESSARY CLEANLINESS. Staff guilty of this infraction will be forced to eat hot, spicy food, then placed in restraints just out of reach of a nice cool glass of water for an hour.
5. Placing the lids on the "to-go" cups so that the drink opening lines up with the crease in the cup is a crime against humanity since it has the same effect as gag dribble cups. Plus, exactly how hard is it to miss that crease when placing the lid on anyway's? Yet it seems to happen more than 50% of the time.
PENALTY: ILLEGAL LID ON THE CREASE. Staff guilty of this must drink all beverages out of a sippy cup.
6. Franchise owners who open up a store with a Drive-Thru that can't handle at least 10 cars in line are a traffic menace. Caffeine addiction is a scary thing that will cause people to stop dead on busy streets just to keep a position in line at the Drive-Thru.
PENALTY: INTERFERENCE. Owners guilty of this infraction will be forced to order their meals via the empty Wendy's Drive-Thru next door for a month.
7. Going on a coffee run to Tim's for five or more people in a
non-starter. Firstly, you'll never remember what everyone ordered correctly. Secondly, you don't have a hope in hell of carrying that stuff back to your car. Lastly, it will take too long!!! That nice person behind you in line was under the impression that you were just going to order coffee and go. BUT NO, you have to take 5-10 minutes of our lives while you botch the order and then juggle the cups back to your vehicle. Get some backbone - force others to come with you. No more than two orders per person thank you!
PENALTY - OVER TWO MINUTE WARNING. People guilty of this infraction will be forced to drink ALL the coffee they have ordered and eat ALL the food. Doing this same infraction through the Drive-Thru = public flogging.
8. During Roll-Up-The-Rim-To-Win time all cups left unattended and unrolled for more than one minute are free game to anyone else. Since we know all the really good prizes are meant for people in Ontario we've only got a limited shot at anything decent so watch your cups!
PENALTY: INELIGIBLE ROLLER. People guilty of this infraction must forfeit any prizes won past or present to the new roller.
9. Staff who fail to recognize that you are a creature of habit and
order the same thing everyday for a year at the same Tim Hortons and still meet you with blank stares and an indifferent "What can I get you?" are inflicting an inhumane mental torture. Isn't that what the commercials are all about? Where are the smiles and a hearty "The usual,Bob?"
PENALTY: INCOMPLETE RECOGNITION. Staff guilty of this infraction must be subjected to proof of identity and a strip search every time they try to pick up their pay check.
...and the final rule of engagement.
10. Showing up at your son/daughter's hockey game with a coffee from another outlet other than Tim Hortons is VERBOTEN! What are you - some kind of troublemaker? Don't you know the way we do things around here?
PENALTY: ILLEGAL COFFEE. People guilty of this infraction must clean the ice with their tongues between periods.
Hopefully if all Canada follows these rules we'll have a safer, more productive society.
Remember yesterday, respect tomorrow, live for today. Where is WWJD?

Re: Official Rules For Visiting Tim Hortons
Cute.
I don't agree with number 5. The seam is supposed to go in the opening. Otherwise there's a seam at the back of the cup and every step you take makes the coffee dribble out the back onto your hand or clothes. Your lips seal that seam on the front when you drink from it. If not, it's a lip problem, not a seam problem.

Re: Official Rules For Visiting Tim Hortons
Since i am an employee at tim hortons. that was one of the best things i ever read! I hate when you have 40 cars, and some A$$hole wants a soup and sandwich combo..COME ON!! I dont have time for that, and neither does the guy getting the simple large coffee behind you, who came into drive thru to get out quick, then i get yelled at while you drive away with your sandwich...ugh
Donuts not on shelf, if it isnt a boston cream or a chocolate dip, yeah we probably dont have it out back. Sorry, order something else, we only have a baker until 12, only two people working from 3pm on, if i had time, i would make more.
ONE THING I SAY
NOT TIPING IS A CRIME!!
~~Cuz' Love is what matters;after all~~

Re: Official Rules For Visiting Tim Hortons
Well regarding the NOT TIPING IS A CRIME
I don't agree with that what so ever. I pay for the service that is provided for me, you don't deliver my coffee to my table like they do in restaurants, etc.. I tip when I see it's fit to tip. Give me crap service and I WILL NOT TIP as my right. Tipping is to show appriciation for the service you recieved, if the worker cannot give me proper service (often I would get way too much sugar in my coffee after I would request half a spoon and I would watch them put a overloaded spoon full). If I have to wait at the counter for X amount of time, while the workers are chatting right infront of me with no other Customers and not doing anything but chatting (yes that does happen and I speak up when it does) why should I leave a tip ontop of having to pay for what I wanted from that store. I don't tip people at regular stores and I usually get great service.
I get tipping in restaurants because of the type of service you get. No offence to Tim's workers, I wouldn't be able to work there, way too busy for my liking. I do tip when the service is ok, good to great. But give me bad service and no I will not tip for having someone pour coffee into a cup and then charge me over a 1.50$ for it (it only takes a few seconds to make my coffee) with a crappy attitude.
Be careful what you write cause you can say boo and they will jump down your throat.

Re: Official Rules For Visiting Tim Hortons
I supposed if a person was in the drive through and asked for a donut they were out of then said "No problem, I'll just wait here til the next load comes in" had better have a good insurance policy.![shock [shock]](/emoticons/new_shocked.gif)

Re: Official Rules For Visiting Tim Hortons
I always tip at Timmies.....a dime, fifteen cents or a quarter.....depends on what change I have.
One time I went into the bathroom and found sh*t on the floor. Someone must have been squating and missed the hole for cryin out loud. I went to one of the workers and pulled her aside. I said I really hate to tell ya this, but ya better close down that washroom and do a little maintenance. I felt so sorry for her. I thought to myself, not only do they have to be right on the ball to serve coffee, a million cups a day and keep people moving speedily through but they have to take sh@t off people and clean sh&t up too.
I assed one of the workers once how much they made on tips on a average shift. A good shift will bring them $10 in tips.....a real good shift, that is. I assed a few others over time the same question and it was always lower.
So? mmmm......after reading Willi's post the other day, I'd haffta say tipping a dime is pretty good. It might mean the difference in a worker riding the bus to work or walking.

Almost the same thing happened to me but the person before me, and what looked like about 5 other people, didn't miss the pot at all. It was so full I decided to wait til I got home. I tried to flush it but the handle was broken off. I felt so bad telling the poor girl behind the counter about it.

Re: Official Rules For Visiting Tim Hortons
I can never understand why people don't flush.
Kids don't always but grownups? How come for why?
When my son was a little tyke he was guilty for not flushing. I have a rule in my house too......if it's yellow, let it mellow.....if it's brown, flush it down. Anywayz, I couldn't get him to remember to flush the brown, so one day after seeing he had fogotten, I assed him if he had a new hobby. "Nope why?" he assed. I said, "oh I thought you were collecting sh$t cuz I see you're saving it again." From then on all I had to say was, "working on your hobby?" and not very often.
A little while ago he told me his sons started a new hobby, hahahaha! Pay back!

I visited the Tim Hortons in Moncton once.
