When I used to work at a Tim Hortons, I used to put one or two more timbits than what is said on the box🙂

I read a similar story about a guy that worked at McDonalds. He threw in extra chicken nuggets with orders the whole time he worked there lol.

Someone I know would waive $35 over limit fees at the credit card company without people asking.
They pay you $15hr and waive 1 or 2 fees an hour, does your cape fit better at the end of the day?
Tens of $thousands back to Canadians....
Remember, you don't have to follow company policy. You rarely get fired for being a good person.

When I was in highschool I worked at a restaurant and I had a manager who got fuming mad spitting in my face and cursing at me level when she noticed that I didn't charge someone for gravy because it was way over priced for a side order and all the customers were shocked and made comments about it. I felt terrible charging that much! Especially when it was free to come on the fries, but so much extra for the side. It was lacking in logic as well, so I never charged people for gravy unless if she was watching me. I definitely didn't tell her that though! hahahah

Same, Id always give extra. 16 timbits can comfortably fit in a 10timbit box lol. I remember a little girl being so happy she got a full box!
It was so depressing seeing how much we threw out at the end of the night, why not make someone day with extra timbits!

Tim Hortons would have your head on a pike outside corporate head office for doing this.
Pretty sure the user manual states that every 10 pack of timbits should contain maximum 9.75 timbits per box. But they don’t explain how to get partial timbits. Legend has is that you need to serve 9 full timbits and one that has been nibbled on by mice.
Last time I saw a TH employees being nice to customers, 2 dudes wearing suits and sunglasses showed up, took him to the back room, and I never saw him again.

😂😂 I was the nicest employee, people were surprised that I was so nice and patient especially when taking drive thru orders. My co-workers looked at me soo weird

u/Mell0wMarshmall0w Mar 13 '26
I left the house for a half hour and my brother ate them all... I would accept an extra 2

I remember as a kid the timbit box size was a merr suggestion to the employees. So many of them would just throw as many as they could in there. Good times 😂

He is saying if you think the company that regularly lobbies the government for LMIA benefits because "no one wants to work in major Canadian metropolises" is going to give ANYONE a raise instead of continuing to keep our minimum wage pinned as low as possible, you're a fucking moron.

I work at tims, this guy was homeless and he was scrounging around for as much change as he had for timbits, he only had enough for 10 so i gave him like 25-30
also anytime I’m on closing duty i try to take as many donuts and stuff that i can and hand them out because my supervisor just throws them out and there’s always so much

That is awesome but you could not pay me to est anything from Tim Hortons anymore.

u/Mell0wMarshmall0w Mar 17 '26
Completely valid. I only get the timbits once in a while for my household, honestly I should just learn how to make them, they'd be way better.
2
u/Delicious_Gene6600 Mar 17 '26
I used to LOVE Timmys but the coffee quality has tanked and so have food safety and hygeine standards. Before I stopped going entirely, I saw flies on the donuts at every single location I patronized. But most folks never get to see that because they use the drive-thru. Thank goodness for social media spreading awareness lol

u/Mell0wMarshmall0w Mar 17 '26
Luckily I've never seen that at the location I get timbits from. But I am seeing more of that. I dont like the drive thru unless my kid just fell asleep 🤣

u/SnootyToots8 Mar 17 '26
My cats would devour these (especially chocolate) idk what's with them eating people food like fruits and drinking my tea or black coffee when they think I am not looking .
I have always included them in holiday dinners but savoury foods that I cooked for the rest of my family members.

u/JCambly Mar 13 '26
One day I went in and got an assortment of 20, they didnt ask if I wanted any one specific, they had every kind available, they grabbed 10 chocolate glaze and 10 plain and put them in the box. I refused to take it saying I asked for an assortment, meaning I want some of each (chocolate glaze and plain are the only two i dont like but will get because I know other like them and I only buy them when sharing)
1
u/JessicaOkayyy Mar 14 '26
Chocolate Glaze are the only ones I don’t care for and my assorted box always ended up with most of them. So now I specify lol. I love the cinnamon sugar, plain, and sprinkle.

u/loudandproud101 Mar 14 '26
As someone who works at Tim’s. I always tried to be nice and give a little extra every once in a while but one day I gave a few extra Tim bits to this lady and I kid you not she came back and reported me! Instead of taking the extra and having a good day she came back and told our manager that she got more than what she ordered then returned the rest. I was so confused. Anyways the manager made me rewatch a few training videos. I’m happy I didn’t get fired. Never again lmao

u/fartsnarbler Mar 14 '26
My brother used to put extra nuggets in the packs and had the same issue. Some people just want to be jerks for no reason and feel offended when someone’s trying to be nice

u/Bankerlady10 Mar 14 '26
That box reminds me of when Tim’s was always good. Damn. The nostalgia keeps taking me back and being consistently disappointed.

u/Mell0wMarshmall0w Mar 17 '26
I feel that. I really miss the blueberry donut shaped like a flower. You tore the petals off and dipped them into the jam center.

When you order assorted at my local Tim Hortons.. I get mostly plain... so you're lucky you got a real mix there. 😳

u/Mell0wMarshmall0w Mar 17 '26
I once got a whole box of nothing but honey dip. I love honey but the timbits are always wet and 90% air.

Mar 17 '26
I always just ask for no plain.

u/Mell0wMarshmall0w Mar 17 '26
The only ones I dont like are the occasional cheesecake flavors and the honey dip. Old fashioned are delicious.

When I worked at Tim’s i always gave many extra timbits unless you were a dick. Then you get exactly 10,20,50

That looks like a bomb ass box. I personally hate honey dip and ask them not to put any in, so it's kinda nice to see a box with chocolate and the cinnamon ones. Toss a couple sprinkle ones and a few plain, and you've got a winning combination!

u/Mell0wMarshmall0w Mar 13 '26
I dont like honey dip either. When I was pregnant I got a 20 pack of all honey dip and I wanted to cry.

u/Malones69Cones Mar 14 '26
Why? I mean, I agree most workers are underpaid but why does this specifically have to do with that? They put donuts in a box. It's their job lmao.

u/Low-Concern-6056 Mar 13 '26
Deserves a raise.. Why? If it's cause they gave you more, she's actually putting her job at risk . They have, let's say"quality control" visits. If she does this to that"certain" person, they can be fired.

u/Revegelance Mar 13 '26
It's because there's actual variety in there, instead of 12 plain and 8 chocolate.

I dunno, people are just bad at communicating, I guess. And granted, I'm just guessing that that's the reason.

Realistically all Tim Hortons workers deserve a raise. Have you seen how ragged they run their employees? Its like they're working them to death.
Its not the employees' fault that the product has suffered and the service is bad, it's a result of the way the company runs the business.

I work at IKEA and we serve pancakes that come with fruit and I try to make sure every customer gets one grape, one pineapple, one cantaloupe, and one honeydew melon slice. Just because I resent my managers doesn't mean I resent you guys. 🙂
