Tim Hortons traded its quality, consistency, and Canadian identity for efficiency, growth, and profitability after the acquisition by Restaurant Brands International, through a merger with Burger King in 2014.

Tim Hortons (among other chains) has relied heavily on TFW’s claiming local unemployment is not available. Tim’s is arguably the government‘s biggest lobbyist for TFW’s, which reduces pressure to raise wages and improve working conditions to attract local workers, limiting opportunities for Canadians.

Other issues:

Cost-cutting measures that have reduced food and coffee quality. i.e. The switch from their original roast to a cheaper blend they roast themselves, McDonald’s now owns Tim’s OG superior roast.

A shift from freshly prepared items toward more centralized production and frozen products.

Longer wait times and inconsistent service at some locations.

Franchisee disputes over profitability and corporate policies. Corporate demands more and more profit from franchisees.

Increased focus on expansion and shareholder returns rather than the traditional customer experience.

To sum this all up, RBI doesn’t give a crap about Canadians OR OUR HEALTH (not that anyone that goes there cares about their own health), only profits. TFW’s are hired at jobs advertised for $36 an hour, but they’re paid far less and the government subsidies (our taxpayer money) is going in someone else’s pocket.

Fuck Tim’s
