DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE IN A HURRY. They WILL make you late! Also don't go here if you are easily irritated or impatient, because they will push you to your limit.
I will say that the staff here are unquestionably friendly and nice. In fact, they are a little too nice. As reviewer Mike B says, there is someone here who tries to joke around with you early in the morning, but it's more annoying than funny, especially when you're just trying to get some food quickly and not be late to class. Seconds count when you have to deal with parking in the campus lots that are always filled to capacity.
So yeah, this place's employees often get your order wrong, but are just so SLOW in taking AND making it! I deliver my order fairly slowly to the drive-thru intercom, but they still usually cut me off multiple times and make me repeat what I just said, and overly confirm what I just said. There are inexplicably long silences that occur while you are trying to order. It just takes WAY too long. And, as I said, when I FINALLY get my items at the window, they are often incorrect; however, by this point, I'm usually running so late that I don't have the option to go back through the drive-thru and have them fix their mistakes, so I just suck it up, accept defeat, and eat whatever they've given me.
They also have this habit of throwing freshly frosted donuts into a paper bag with a napkin on top of the frosting . HELLO? McFLY??? Why would you do that?! Obviously, a dry paper napkin is going to completely stick to semi-liquid donut frosting! I mean, come on!
*note - the night shift workers are absolutely fine, and I've never had an issue with them.*
I was so irritated by the slowness and inaccuracy of this location that I wanted to contact the owner. But then, I realized that he is actually often working the drive-thru, and is perhaps the worst of all! You'll know it's him because he has a strong Latino accent and is so overly friendly that it about puts you into a diabetic coma right on the spot. Nice guy, but he still is like the rest of his employees - takes way too long to take your order, wastes time with excess and unnecessary niceties, and then often gets your order wrong. So, I don't know what to do when the stinkin OWNER is as hot a mess as his employees.
I understand and acknowledge that all the people who work here are SUPER nice and mean no ill will, but my god, some of us are in a hurry! I hate going to McDonald's for any reason, but that's where I go now instead of this place in the mornings, because I know they will be fast and accurate...hell, anywhere is fast and accurate compared to this Tim Horton's! Ordering here is kind of like ordering from a super sweet geriatric who is really slow, slightly deaf, going senile, thinks their lame jokes and prodding are really funny (but they're actually just irritating), but who is just not cut out to be operating a fast food drive-thru. read more
