Let me start by saying that I LOVE Tim Horton's. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. However, I am writing this review to tell you about the extremely rude manager that I encountered at this location. Instead of a review, I'm going to just write what happened, in order:
8:45AM I pull up to the Timmy's drive through window and place a large order for a work meeting. Then I order myself a breakfast sandwich: egg white, lettuce, and tomato on a bagel - NO cheese, NO meat (I repeat that last part about 3x).
9:00AM I pull into my morning meeting at work, take out my sandwich, and realize that it has a big ol' square of melted American cheese, and about a nickel-size piece of beef.
2:45PM (after all my meetings are finally done) I walk into Timmy's with my sandwich and my receipt, and start to politely explain the error to the associate, who immediately flags down her manager. The following dialogue ensues:
Me: Hi, I ordered a breakfast sandwich this morning with egg white, lettuce, and tomato, no cheese, no meat.
Manager: Where's the meat? Show me the meat (tearing into sandwich from every angle).
Me: (Finding the nickel-sized amount) Here.
Manager: Well that just fell off the grill! No one here has a magnifying glass!
Me: Well I also ordered it no cheese, which there's a lot of.
Manager: Associate (insert name)! Remake this. (To me) Do you know how many sandwiches we make each morning? Hm? Do you know how many sandwiches?
Me: I really don't care. I only really care about mine.
Manager: Do you want to see the meat? Huh? Do you want to see what the meat looks like? I'll show you.
Me: No. I've been a vegetarian for 20 years because I DON'T want to see meat.
Manager: (Having walked over to the meat and held up a piece). THIS is what the meat looks like.
Me: I JUST told you I DON'T want to see that.
Associate: Here you go (hands me the new sandwich).
Me: (To the associate specifically) Thank you. I appreciate YOU.
And I do appreciate the associate, even though she left the tomato off. I'm not going to hold that against her though, as she was in a high pressure environment, what with me yelling at her manager at all. Plus, at least there was no meat or cheese this time. I still love Timmy's, but in the future, I'll be going to any location except for this one. Now I'm going to stay at work for an extra half an hour, because of the time it took me to go back to Timmy's and then write this review. Anyway, happy eating! read more
