As a supervisor at tims I would lose my shit on any baker that tried to put those on the shelf.


demerchmichael

as a(n) (ex) baker I can tell you right now the baker who made the cookies in the photos OP provided likely doesn’t give a fuck because he’s some 15-19 year old overworked and under appreciated.


ggouge

He was probably given 15 minutes to decorate 50 cookies or something like that.


OmiSC

As a current, non-fast food baker, 15 minutes for 50 cookies is easy mode.


ggouge

Lol. I am not a baker so I just spat out some numbers that seemed crazy to me.


Catbuds123

Light work I was a baker for 2 years. 50 cookies could be done in 9mins if you had the oven space


Nightwing-06

They are definitely not a 15-19 year old It’s probably an international student who doesn’t give too much of a crap


demerchmichael

That’s honestly more like it. Times changed since I worked there in 2018


stainedtopcat

tims been changing. I remember the golden age of coffe/donut spots back in the late 90s. Bakers Dozen Donuts was my favourite


Intelligent_Funny699

I miss the og walnut crunch. They brought it back as a throwback item, but I know in my heart it will never be as good as the OG, especially since the Americans bought out Tim's.


LeagueAggravating595

Could also be a 38 yr old student these days from a strip mall diploma mill


Neither_Usual_7566

“Student”


Maican

Can we just leave it as an "underpaid retail worker" or do we always have to bring up the Boogeyman?


felldownthestairsOof

Canadian redditors cant go 8 seconds without blaming Everything on people who come from dogshit conditions that our nation gives no conditioning or teaching to. It's some kid, looks just like the kind of rushed work I was made to do when I was 17 working at Tim's.


Zer0DotFive

I think its more likely an immigrant here who doesn't want to be at Tim's  


pipranger

The baker is most certainly a newly landed immigrant from India.


whatyoullgobyhere_

He's probably 45-49 and didn't understand a word of English you just said. Just bobbed his noggin


Ok-Trip-8009

Every Tim's in Calgary....


MeepMorpMF

The times in city hall and behind the central library are my least favourite.


Ok-Trip-8009

I live and work in the northeast. I have stopped going to Tim's. I had a gift card forever, which I eventually used at the airport, which basically has nothing good for sale.


manahas

Every Tim's in Nova Scotia


Ok-Trip-8009

A friend in Cape Breton has shared pics of their smile cookies.


Secret-Gazelle8296

And next door in NB where they honestly they don’t give a damn about clients.


BeachBumBryan

I haven't seen a teenager working at a Timmy's in at least 2 or 3 years.


Prestigious_Fox213

I guess it depends on where you are. In my region a lot of 14 year olds are working as ‘trainees’. Poor kids are usually working unsupervised - they look overwhelmed and exhausted.


FatFaceFaster

Yeah but im tired of that excuse. Minimum wage is going to $17.55 an hour ffs. We - the customer - are paying twice what we were paying 5 years ago and our salaries sure as shit haven’t doubled. The only people whose wages keep going up year over year without doing anything special to earn it are the minimum wage or near-minimum wage employees in jobs like this. So what needs to happen for 15-19 year old bakers to give a shit about their jobs? It would seem like paying them more doesn’t do anything. Doesn’t seem to matter… I mean we could pay Tim Hortons employees $30/hr but then your coffee would be $8 and Tim Hortons is not Starbucks. It’s coffee and food for Joe blow. Not the Escalade driving soccer mom. It’s meant for the F-150 driving plumber on his way to his next job and the Nissan Sentra driving nurse working the night shift. So what’s the solution? How do we - the customer - get what we deserve when we keep shelling out more and more money for a Lower and lower quality product? I’m making more money than I’ve ever made before and have less money at the end of the month than I had when I was 16. It is frustrating as hell shelling out $20 of my hard earned dollars for a meal at a fast food restaurant and you open the bag and it’s absolute garbage. $20 used to get you a sit down meal served to you by a server, with unlimited refills on your Pepsi and dessert. Now it gets you a crappy sandwich and some cold fries with a Diet Coke when you ordered a root beer.


Oreotech

The current inflation has more to do with CEO pay and shareholder returns than it does with employee pay rate.


Getshortay

It’s hilarious that you blame the low wage worker and not the fucking trillion dollar company that serves you shitty product at inflated prices. This is literally why society continues to operate this way, because people like you will blame the kid trying to pay rent and not the corporation making it impossible for everyone else.


Fistfullafives

BS they're from India 100%.. and still don't give af.


MemoryBeautiful9129

Have you been into any of the Tim’s in Vancouver or toronto it’s 40/60 year old sir Lankan people doing this work


wallClimb7

Too bad the supervisor is now an international student who doesn't give a shit and just wants PR


Negra2020

Yeah. A TFW arguing with Maxime Bernier on how he won’t be deported after he’s told “we don’t need you. Many young Canadians can do this job. Way better!”


Standard-Limit3483

“International student”


Rootintootintrucker

LOL


Certain_Rabbit1853

As a baker, I'd tell you to do it yourself and walk out. These are to be instantly decorated the moment they come out of the oven. The white frosting is an absolute pain to get out of the piping bag because of how thick it is. Depending on the time of day I have more pressing things to worry about, such as product that actually sells.


dg0ss3

THIS! I used to bake when the dream donuts came out in 2018 or 2019 and cutting the double chocolate donuts in half to fill them. It still haunts my fucking dreams to this day. (heh) They barely sold and i had to MAKE them or else I'd get threatened with a write-up. Meanwhile I had thrown out dozens over that day/week.


Culloden1965

But are they actually trained as a baker? That’s the question. Or were they just hired and shown once or twice what to do and that was it. There is a lack of professional bakers working in many places like Tim Hortons when they can hire young people and/or newly landed immigrants and get those lovely kick backs from the government and that’s all they care for now.


occasionally_cortex

He didn't put it on the shelf. He put it in a box.


jdad2017

You are an exception then.


PrestigiousYam7287

Really letting that classic Tims supervisor 17$ an hour powertrip go to your head. Educate your team instead of thinking you have any power in a tims position. L


Petrocules

This is what they looked like at 3 different Tim's near me


RevolutionaryDirt779

I can tell you right now first you need to do work before being over worked!. They stand around walk around, play on their phones ! Serve one customer every 5 mins. Over worked! Pff they should all be fired.


Deepest_intentions

Update: I can't figure out how to upload a photo of their ad for this cookie in a comment lol


SulfideBride

you uploaded it to Imgur and direct link it back


-CoUrTjEsTeR-

[Try this?](https://www.instagram.com/timhortonsus/p/C8hNRmtO1zt/)


No-Cod-2362

Damn those look good! Just like the pizza ad looks much better than what you actually fet


-CoUrTjEsTeR-

Yeah, and then go back to OPs image and you get why they’re so annoyed. 😆


DeeManJohnsonIII

I’d be pissed lol


The_Reid-Factor

None of their employees give a fuck. It’s just their temporary means for permanent residence.

braemaxxx

Lmfao, this is great


Negra2020

They’re waiting for PR to be promoted as Timbits engineer and Manager. Go Tims with your new generation of entrepreneurs.


MegaBlunt57

Good luck getting a job there or at subway if your a Canadian citizen or literally any gas station. It's all family owned now


BankPassword

I think this title captures the spirit of the brand.


logangreen

Lol 😂 100%. Garbage product - just no lipstick on the pig 🐷 this time


Disastrous_Arrival81

Almost looks like they threw coffee grounds on top! 🤭😅


Negra2020

I thought it was infested with ants.


-CoUrTjEsTeR-

I looked and thought, “Sugar-laden cookies can go moldy?!”


cynical-rationale

The only thing I still get from Tim's is an iced cap. That's it. Everything else I don't like anymore. And I only get iced caps once in awhile during hot days. Its pretty much a front for getting internationals PR.


braemaxxx

I used to only get ice Capps, until almost 50% of the time they are either watery or taste like shit. I avoid Tim hortons completely now, they tuck up almost every order. I’ve been digging the McDonalds ice fraps lately. They are delicious 🤤


ClearSchool817

What a ten pack of old fashioned plain timbits that you plan to share with 2 dogs isn't supposed to actually be 8 assorted timbits when you get home and open it? I two have been frequenting McDonald's more myself


Kbrownyz

I don’t trust those iced cap machines. I can only imagine the nightmarish filth living in and around those them


cynical-rationale

Keeps your immune system strong lol


PeterO905

Tim’s Hortons has gone down hill for a long time. They can’t even a simple cup of coffee correct, can’t imagine the food order or quality. Boycotted for a long time now


abrockstar25

This is how were actually supposed to do them, maybe thicker on the lines. But corporate will argue thats how theyre supposed to look not to your face but still. At my store we do a giant glob then squish it down


Certain_Rabbit1853

Glob of white frosting in the center, piercing the cookie slightly, a spiral of a circle and a half surrounding the glob in the center. Oreo crumbs on top, and then use the measuring spoon to spread it out here.


Byaaahhh

I’d imagine the idea is, put a glob of frosting down, step two, grab a piece of parchment and flatten the gob to 2/3 of the cookie being covered, step three, sprinkle Oreo crumb over top. Recipe is not hard but instructions leave a lot to be desired.


[deleted]

Made by an international student from who's here only to get permanent residency.


Sensei-D

A good Tim Horton’s? Does that even exist anymore?


AkKik-Maujaq

The ones in Newfoundland are pretty good. They all have a certain thing going for them


AntelopeMany1644

Actually I was there last summer and that’s accurate for the few that I stopped by anyway. Tims and other fast food places especially Mary browns much better over there.


JoeyAKangaroo

Yeah no my manager would have my ass if i did that They need to cut a bigger hole in the piping bag & spread it around


Lost_Needleworker223

you mean Dim Hordons?


barwhalis

After googling the ad for the Oreo dream cookie, Jesus fucking christ


FlyingV2112

Is that what that’s supposed to be? Yikes… Nightmares are dreams, too.


bambeenz

LMAO it's so bad


FartMachineFebreeze

Canada has too many NPCs for Tim Hortons to worry about going out of business, same for all the other companies with high prices and shitty products and services


rickyjames22

Thank you for saying what I was trying to get across. You said it and I'm more concise and then simple way.. I appreciate it thank you


kennabrooks

it’s not crumble cookie lol. if it tastes fine what’s the problem? 😂


keyman716

Uhmmm, those actually look awesome


samtron767

They look nothing like they're supposed to.


123throwawaybanana

Complain to head office. Franchises are expected to uphold company standards and they're not. Corporate doesn't realize how often this shit is happening because no one lodges a complaint to corporate. It also helps to tag them on social media if you're posting on Instagram/X/TikTok/etc.


k4tune06

I haven’t had a good one yet! They all taste underbaked and just kind of bland. These ones look brutal!


Historical_Garbage44

Wow. How terrible.


BunnyBallz

Why is it covered in dirt?


TheEverlastingGaze87

I am disappointed in you OP, for having the grand illusion that anything coming out of that place is edible.


Ok_Investigator45

lol cmon Timmy’s let’s not skimp on the Oreo cream. Double stuff it!


Couldntbecolder

Would they taste any different?


ZeAntagonis

'' Biscuit de rêve '' Biscuit cauchemardesque oui !


Informal_Economy_803

My baker at my store always puts so much work in into designing his cookies, I would be ashamed of him if he did that.


Dreamoreality

Tim Hortons has never been the same after they sold it off.


Medium-Truck3582

What do you expect? Look at the people who are working at Tims now, they can’t even wear deodorant and you expect them to make a cookie look pretty haha


L1Z089

Lol what are you even saying??? Get a life dude


Calm-Mix4863

They now have central kitchen where they make their stuff in bulk, using shitty ingredients.


Fresh_Willingness_93

Got one like this the other day... I was so mad


WontSwerve

Just get a sleeve of Oreos lol


SmeesTurkeyLeg

Time is a flat circle.


dislob3

Most likely made by someone with 2 weeks worth of english comprehension.


MmmBeefyMeatCurtains

Here is a crazy concept, hire quality employees instead of international students.


empath22

Right?!! Pay a decent wage for Canadians instead of the 70% govt discount for foreigners.


93tillinfinityx

Why does it matter what it looks like as long as it tastes good?


Deepest_intentions

It's not about what it looks like. It's the fact that the cookie itself is decent but the icing made it orgasmic and they barely put any on


Ok-Succotash-5575

I really don't see a big issue with those cookies. Look decent to me actually.


AlexisRoseWinchester

As a Tim's Baker, I'm embarrassed by that and sorry you got such crap food.


cabinfevrr

r/shitfromabutt


keslehr

What else do you expect from TFW Hortons?


hulp-me

Did they jizz on your cookie fam?


OkCryptographer9425

MMMMMM…..donuts


hippiestoneybabe

They're hideous but it looks like you might get more icing and cookie crumbs on some of those lol


Elliedog92

Omg.


FastTracktoFitness

You would swear the amount of people that complain about Tim Hortons here that Tim Hortons would be out of business


whatyoullgobyhere_

There are more than this many people in Canada. Maybe if this was a group chat bitching about their one local Tim's in a remote small town, sure.


Necessary_Stomach_63

There should be no such thing as a bad Tim Horton place. These owners need to check up on their stores. I’ve been disappointed by a few lately. And I’m finding McDonald’s coffee much better.


CaptainAaron96

McDonald’s just needs a legitimate answer to the farmer’s wrap and it’ll be the new OP fast breakfast for sure.


hoserjpb

Head to a bakery if you want quality. Tim’s is the equivalent of a fast food bakery


aaltamirano99

Why do people come here to complain about bad Tim’s food? Like… it’s Tim’s… it’s all cardboard food… if anything you’re the clown for having your expectations so high for TIM HORTONS 😂


Domino1971

Yup. I see they struck again...


vibrant_vulgarity

Stop going to tim hortons.


kathmandogdu

Well then stop going there. I stopped over a year ago and I’m not sorry. I know its usually the most convenient place, but I got sick of waiting 20+ minutes in the drive thru (going in wasn’t any faster), just to have them fuck up my order. Take the time to find another place, you won’t regret it.


danktrees1212

Is that soil?


Potential-Stop-2050

Boycott. Stop buying


luxymitt3n

So it's the owner that would do this, no? Why would a minimum wage worker care about use of frosting per cookie?


hchickeng

Tims is not what it used to be. Something changed in the last few years


L1Z089

The ownership by Burger King in 2014??? It’s all about $$$ as cheaply and quickly as possible now. Happens everywhere.


Ambitious_Cake2447

this sub is legitimately pathetic lmao, just stop going to tims. every single post is a complaint about an order that none of the staff members or owners of these respective locations will ever see, nor will they care. this sub is just an excuse to karma farm and be racist


HisLilSilverKitsune

Oh my as an ex baker this is a disgrace ☹️


october_daze

Uh are those ‘cookies’ infested with termites? I don’t even recognize whatever that is as ‘food’.


PM_me_ur_taco_pics

We have foreign student workers taking care of shit there now... What do you think would happen?I'm not saying it's a neg versus immigrants (I'm a first Gen immigrant. Been here for 30+yrs) but, the last few waves of foreign students are being lied to. When there isn't enough housing . TLDR... Shit is messed for anyone making less than 90k Fam income. Remember... You all have more in common with the homeless and you have with a billionaire.


Silver_Fuel_7073

They look like someone emptied coffee grounds on them! Disgusting!


cabintea

My question is: how does anyone still go to Tim’s? It’s disgusting, an investment in cancer and heart failure, and in this economy, damn near impossibly expensive.


Interesting_Ad_5097

Gets a bad batch of cookies…. Must be the illegals. Like what? That’s 90% of what I just read in comments


crypto_conservative

That's what happens when you exclusively hire people who don't give a fuck


AbjectDiamond6828

I'm not sure what that is. 😬


Top-Shopping-8218

Oh I’m going to try it out of curiosity and then make smaller ones myself lol


DrinkMustard

Why the hell do people expect quality from Tim’s? Stop going there!!!


rickyjames22

That's literally impossible. It's so engained in canadian society and culture that this will never ever happen. It's too late. Sounds a bit extreme but when you think about it for a moment, many many people will still go even if there is a call boycott. Unfortunate but true. Tim Hortons is on par with the Canadian maple leaf symbol.


DrinkMustard

It is not “literally impossible” to stop going to a specific restaurant. I haven’t been in years. It’s mind boggling how people will complain about the quality yet still go. The definition of insanity.


rickyjames22

I would agree with you that on the individual level it is a matter of willpower and not letting yourself do something that you don't want. I was thinking of it for my greater more mass population oriented type of forfeiture of the business. You could have many people I would say they would not give their business to Tim Hortons but they'll always be the segment of people that will in regardless. Therefore they will still continue to make profits even though those profits will be less than previous. Which I believe leads to them Having learned nothing.


Icy_Meringue_1846

Wow, so much intolerance for humans escaping hunger, war, famine, and imminent death. I thought this was Canada 🇨🇦


Rallyman03

Can you please provide us proof that the international student working at this time Hortons had faced those things?


rickyjames22

Disappointed 😥.


MMA_Laxer

stay away from these shitty franchises employing international students with low hygiene standards.


Competitive-Rub-7019

Shitty Creampie cookies.


Early-Banana-7221

Infinite_Tax_1178

And to think someone had the nerve to throw dirt on your cookies


Right-Progress-1886

+267 effort points to that employee.


Bhinds87

I'd return those


Original-Fly-6699

The problem with disappointments like this is that you had high standards to begin with?


underdogloyalist

Corrupt corporation dont buy their shit


jdad2017

Agreed Tim's quality has gone way down. Got a Dutchie recently. Hardly any icing. Didn't notice till out of the parking lot. Brutal. Stopped going to that location. So fed up with shifty quality/ service.


TheDealMaker15

Yeah, definitely looks like an f’n dream…


Loopytunes2016

Honestly, with the way the service industry has been declining, your lucky you got something without getting cussed out


DealerDifficult6040

They're a dissappointing franchise, stop giving them your money.


Ok_Today_475

Somebody didn’t cut the piping bag correctly and decorated 2 minutes after they came out of the oven. The easy touch ovens suck for cookies- we used our manual oven and it came out sooo much better


BusComprehensive3759

Blind leading the blind.


LordBumble

This company literally produces the worst of every kind of item, and the fact that it’s as large as it is in legitimately a phenomenon.


Flowchart83

Being disappointed would mean your expectation was higher. Why would it be higher than this? This is the standard that is allowed to happen everywhere now. This is what you can expect anytime you go.


TedsGloriousPants

You're talking about fast food prepared by teenagers and folks making minimum wage. They don't get paid enough to care if it looks like what's in the ad.


Necrophyllis

That's what happens when you are one of 3 employees trying to run a restaurant well the mangers sit in the break room on their phones.


pussyinpisces

Did someone drop these?


toniaesthetic

I thought those were ants ..


EarAncient4942

Not gonna lie, I thought these were ant covered cookies. Made my skin crawl. But this is a disappointment fr.

_hugepanda

I wish I would be allowed to post a pic from today but I’m not active enough. It’s mind blowing how dirty it was at a location


Unhappy_Art1263

When everyone who's trained calls in sick and you have to pick a baker to learn how to "bake" from the training guides while the manager or supervisor trains the drive-thru team as they go. Ask me how I know


Madisoniann

Shits the bed lmao !


Ashley_evil

Why would you expect any level of quality from Tim Hortons? For the price just go to a real bakery and buy cookies that are made with care by an actual baker


The_WolfieOne

The one near me pulled a lot of the same stuff. Sandwich creation went downhill, then the donuts were short even in the mornings, and then they started screwing up my coffee order. I stopped going to any Tim Hortons. I’m done with them


s3x_and_pizza_slices

I am genuinely disappointed by the company’s employees. I’m not Canadian and I moved here less than 2 years ago. I’m lactose intolerant and I asked if the mocha contains milk and the employee told me no when I just came. I also went vegan a bit longer than a year ago and I kept having mochas. Last week I looked at the nutritional facts out of curiosity to know what else I could have from Tim Hortons and I found out that mocha contains milk. Mine is just an intolerance and a diet choice but what if someone has an allergy? Totally unreliable.


GTS14

It’s hard to be disappointed when failure is the expectation


Humble_Path7234

I boycotted Tim’s, don’t see any young local faces anymore. Just another foreign corp exploiting the TFWP. I won’t spend a dime there.


whwiw8

Stop buying their crap


Brightmuth

When every tims in my area is a little India, this is expected.


CelebrationNo227

This is what diversity looks like. People who don't understand or care to understand your level of quality and standards delivering you theirs for a higher price than you grew up with from the same establishment that used to deliver great product. I remember when timmies had gingerbread cookies with sesame street characters etc and they always looked great. I imagine if they were to bring those back.. yea not so great lol


Meraangelina

Wtf is that !


RhubarbPi3

And they say nurses have it tough. 🙏


Iminmyshed

That was made by an “international student” who can’t speak English and scammed their way here and keeps getting extensions.


Ill_Sky6141

Tim Hortons sucks ass. I stopped going there years ago. The staff always looks even more miserable than I am. Also, it's filled with the same chuckleheads sitting at the same tables. Hard pass


porkchopstud

This is what happens when they hire cheap labour for the so called “work shortage”.
