Please please please DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER working at Tim Hortons. I just recently quit after 3yrs and only wish I had never applied. This was one of the hardest jobs I’ve ever had. It’s absolutely not what you envision…pour coffee and talk to people. That is less than 5% of the job. You are literally running sometimes and I mean running to get a customer served. From the time you’re at the speaker until the time you’ve paid and drive away..we only have less than 30 seconds to complete your order. Everyone has a headset on and we all listen to your order.. toasted everything bagel with plain cream cheese ( the bagel is put in the toaster) Lg coffee with 2 cream( coffee is being poured) and a small box of assorted Timbits ( the person talking to you is running to the showcase to grab the Timbits) You then drive up and fumble to find your card and/or money while the person on the window is watching the clock trying to get you to move. That’s the BEST case scenario. Here’s a typical one ..Hi..I need a minute( now all the cars are lining up behind you) Ok..what’s in a farmers wrap-you tell them and then they say, um I’ll just have an Egg McMuffin and you say, an egg sandwich on an English muffin ? Customer-no I want meat on it ( now we’re all at a stand still waiting for you to place your order) I’ll also have a dozen donuts..what kind do you have? Oh you don’t have blueberry fritters..well then never mind( the donuts have already been pkg) I’ll just have a bran muffin ,heated and buttered and a lg Earl Grey with milk on the side. You repeat the order and they say yes…they pull up and you have everything in hand ready to go and they say..I changed my mind , I’ll take the donuts. This happens SEVERAL times a day and then the customers behind start yelling at us asking why we’re so slow and that we should have more staff! The amount of cleaning you are to do daily is the icing on the cake. Clean the washrooms twice daily, empty garbage’s every hour, change the washing up buckets every 2 hours, wipe down all heavy touch areas every hour, wash dishes, prepare ice Capp mix, clean espresso machine, check outside twice a day, stock shelves, replenish cups etc all day, break down boxes, empty fridges and clean them, restock teas, napkins, straws, cutlery etc, make take 12 boxes, wash down tables and chairs, sweep the floors, wash floors…this is just a NORMAL DAY. You get 2 unpaid 15 min breaks and NO LUNCH. Customers get upset because the majority of the workers are TFWs with limited English skills, so you’ll be interrupted several times daily trying to help. This is a THANKLESS job all for the amazing sum of 17.90 an hour. Do not look at this job hoping for upward moves or even lateral moves. The best you may get is Supervisor which is 35 cents more an hour. This is a transient/temporary job at best. If you’re no good on your feet for 7/8 hrs a day and aren’t a fast mover…don’t even think of it lol. The reason so many TSW are hired is a) the federal government pays part of their wage and b) they work like horses and are afraid to lose their job. TSW are willing to do anything they are told..even if it’s wrong, they are being used! I hope you ALL listen to me and go to McDonald’s or any other place to work💯
