Hello, I’m one of your local coffee girls. While I understand that the new changes the company has been making (lattes, new cup sizes, changes to old menu options, etc) can be bewildering, you should know that we are JUST as bewildered as you are! So please, when we have to ask the 3-5 FRUSTRATING questions to get you your order (“What type”, “what size”, “cream or sugar?” and “double-cupped?”) realize that “Can’t you just give me my fucking coffee?!” or “Jesus christ, I just want a friggen coffee!” is NOT an appropriate response, and just makes you look like a huge asshole. All I am is a university student trying very hard to pay my bills, and to serve you with a smile no matter how tired or shitty I feel after school from 8:30-4pm, then work 4pm-11pm. If you let me do my job then I promise I will then go get your coffee to you as fast as possible, and made right. Thanks. —Coffee Slave

Not that I go to that business often, but when I do, and ask for a “medium black coffee”, I am almost always met with the same size?/cream?/sugar?/milk? spiel, when I’ve already said as such, so I do sympathise with the complaining frustrated customer a bit, although I reckon this particular customer was just acting the douche, in which case, f him.
How difficult is right out of the pot in a medium size cup please?
I mean ,why do I have to learn a new language to go with your menu ? Tall ,small, grande are you just deliberately fucking with us ????????
Give me a cup of coffee in the medium range cup size ( you pick it…. I don’t fucking care …as long as its not a medical piss size sample cup or a gallon bucket…I’m good)
Seeing as I want nothing in the damn cup but coffee…how hard is it for you to grasp that ?
I shouldn’t have to refuse sugar, or cream/milk a double cup what the fuck do I need 2 cups for one cup of coffeee for ???jesus you are deliberately making it stupid????. I obviously want no foam, sprinkles or flavorings.
Just give me my Sandra Bullock coffee (hot dark & bitter) & lemme outta there !
Dark?
I’m not sure which sandra bullock you’re looking at…
perhaps you shouldn’t be wearing your sunglasses at night.
I don’t understand why a simple “jumbo” or some other similarly named size couldn’t have been added to the menu, instead of trying to chickenhawk forgetful people out of a couple dimes for a larger sized cup of coffee they didn’t want. Like Ron Joyce doesn’t have enough money.
Dotz…
Hot , as in looking
dark , as in hair colour.
&
bitter, as in how she should feel after Jessie screw up/fucked her over !
I’m waiting for the El Tubbo or the El Vataroonie so I can soak the tarnish off my silverware.
their coffee is gross anyway.
I had a mocha latte from there on my way home yesterday and it was… interesting. It wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t good. It was…. weirdly… nothing-like.
But it was really cold and my hands were freezing so the hot cup was nice.
I have seen coffee dispensing machines that can deliver 24 varieties of coffee with 12 buttons and 3 basic questions that the customer has to answer, so whenever you get up to question number 6 ot 7……i wll absofuckinlutely get mad at you everytime.
What gets me lately is the habit of asking if I want a donut, muffin, or breakfast sandwich with that…or better yet “welcome to blah blah….would you like to try our blueberry blah blah today?” If I want a fucking muffin, donut or anything else, I’ll ask for the fucking thing. Fact is, I’ve been sitting in a line of 20 cars and have had an extra 2 minutes added to my wait so your boss can have you spend that time trying to flog an extra $6.00 worth of fucking muffins for the day.
Thank the coffee gods…I’m headed back to the land of 7-11’s where I can get my damn coffee quickly, the way I want it!
OP you need to master time travel, so then we’d have unlimited time to get shit done and spit in people’s coffees. I have urged some Physics folk to work harder on it, let me know if you make a breakthrough first!
Lulz.
well if the tired cranky people who are waiting in line for there coffee they can’t go without every morning would have a little understanding for the poor server who probably doesnt want to ask all those questions just like you dont want to hear them but they have too cause its apart of the job just like your probably not feelin your job cause you would rather be sleeping instead of listening to would you like a muffin, donut and whatever else they have to say before you get what you want have some compassion
Give me my freakin coffee and you can have all the compassion you want 😛
I am a faithful loyal Tim’s customer. I will be patient as we work through all the new unanticipated cup problems. 🙂
Your funny I do not work for the Tims chain however if you want to know why you have to get your bloomers all in a knot to get your coffee in the morning visit this link and contact there marketing department ask them why the staff at Tims irrirtates you so bad with just trying to do what most people do at there jobs follow policy http://www.timhortons.com/ca/en/contact.ht…
You have to understand More that less than 1% of the customers they deal have their coffee black. Many of those that do want their coffee black have cream and sugar on the side. These girls are hit with a lot of different cream/sugar combos to begin with and add to that all these needless size name changes and you have a situation where they have to be very deliberate with the order-taking.
Earl Grey. Hot.
donk, time travel has been accomlished. i went ahead to next week, and i’m still a prick.went further ahead, and saw you and i making out. let’s start making the future come true.

I’m sorry but if you can’t answer a few simple questions in the morning before you get your precious coffee, you have a problem. Answering these questions will take a max of 10 seconds. Please forgive the workers for assuming you must have the time to answer a few basic questions about your order considering that you had time to wait in line at what is consistently the busiest coffee place anywhere. There’s too many dickbags out there using “I haven’t had my coffee yet” as an excuse to be a douche. No one gives a shit. Grow up already….that, or make your own at home.
You should get to know how to order after like 2 times.. when I go to Smitty’s, I don’t just order “eggs benedict”, I order “eggs benedict, pouched hard, side hash browns, white toast, Sprite, no coffee”. Takes 5 seconds as opposed to like a minute if the waiter/waitress had to ask me how I wanted my eggs pouched, what side I wanted, if I wanted white or whole wheat toast and what I wanted to drink.
I Heart You Tim Hortons!!:D You Guys are the Best!!:D I Heart the new cup size too!!:D as soneone who worked as a coffee waitress, it was annoying to me too when people just walked up to the counter and expected you to mind read, Then got mad when you couldn’t, instead of saying” large double double” 🙂
Mel, if you stick eggs in your pouch in any hard way, they will definitely break…
they’d be better pouched softly…
they’re great poached soft too…
how can you eat eggs benny with a hard poached egg?
ug… the whole point is the creamy yolk to go with the buttery hollandaise.
i like them poached medium, as long as the whites aren’t all googly, i’m gtg
Yuck, runny eggs are gross! I feel like they’ll poison me and the texture makes me gag. And ordering a hard benny is fun. Heh, a soft benny makes me gag, a hard benny doesn’t ;).
you naughty minx. sunny side up are not one of my choices in eggs, and hardboiled, well they’re really tricky to make^^
Mmmm sopping up soft egs yolk with toast or English Muffin is soooo yummy.
*egg*
Benny is one lucky guy!
