Wage debate aside. I haven't gone to a Tim's in years as the quality of the beverages and food slowly dropped while the prices went up. At a certain point somethings gotta give... Except for the name that company hasn't been Canadian for a long time. I still roll my eyes when people claim it to be the same old Canadian staple...no its changed and so have I.

You are correct Rukusu. With Burger King buying Tim Hortons, they changed their coffee supplier, which changed their beverage quality. Additionally, when the supplier was up for grabs, McDonald's decided to work with them (ie. McDonald's current coffee supplier is Tim Hortons' former coffee supplier).

You really believe that? Tim's was allowing for paid breaks, and giving more break time that labor laws require. This is the first time I've ever heard of a minimum wage job paying for breaks, because they don't in retail. Hell I don't even have a minimum wage jobs and my break time is deducted. Plus Tim's also allows their employees to receive tips, some employees in busy areas can make up to $40 a day in tips alone. Mcdonald's does not allow their employees to get tips. Tim's is just falling in line with Labor standards, all this is is a bunch of employees crying because their silver spoon was taken way. Most customer service jobs don't give the benefits Tim's was.

I haven't gone to a Tim Hortons since they took away employee breaks and benefits. It's a matter of principle, when your brand wears Canada on its sleeve as a marketing tool, you HAVE to treat employees properly. Throwing a pissy little hissy fit when the minimum wage inches closer to the standard of living, at the expense of your billion dollar bottom line? Nah du, I'll take my money elsewhere.

You failed to mention that before the wage hike, most employees at the 2 locations were making FAR more than minimum wage. They received bonus benefits with that large wage too (paid day off for their birthday, paid day off every 6 months if they showed up for every shift, 100% drug plan and dental). Removing their paid breaks and these bonus benefits is still within board and they are still providing more breaks than required by the Employment Standards Act of 2000; they are well within their rights as employers to do so.

The biggest problem was when they moved from corporate stores which had these standards to all franchise stores who didn't have to follow these things. Corporate stores had to follow the same rules as they do at headquarters. My cousin used to work there and he was doing well with all these benefits, pension, retirement planning etc. But little by little they started getting rid of the corporate stores and moved to a more franchise operation so they didn't have to pay these salaries or benefits. Tim Hortons, before, used to be considered one of Canada's best employers. Not so much anymore.

Ron Joyce, Jr. was the manager/owner of a Tim Hortons I worked at back in high school (mid 90s). It was in Oakville on Iroquois Shore Rd. He was lazy, verbally abusive, cut corners wherever he could, and a downright jerk. I see things haven't changed much in 20 years.

Tim Hortons lost me when they closed their store bakeries down and ruined their donuts. I never was a fan of their coffee. I do remember when they were a good Canadian change of stores. Back in '87 when I was pregnant and had cravings for whip cream, my local Tim Hortons would slice open and fill any doughnut I wanted with whip cream. Any time of the night or day.

I've never understood the love and loyalty many Canadians have for Tim Hortons, the food and beverages they offer range from mediocre to awful. Interiors are depressing. Now a slap in the face to their employees. I see the empire slowly shrinking, first the international locations will fold then some Canadian ones. God willing.

They've been terrible for a long time now, the food is disgusting, I simply cannot eat it without feeling ill. I'm genuinely baffled why it's still so popular.

Here's an idea, let's turn the low wage earners against each other! We'll make them resent the cashiers who get paid a few bucks more and when we take away their lunch pay they won't fight back because other poor folk don't get that either. If workers didn't fight we wouldn't have a weekend, or a 40 hr work week, or breaks, or vacation or holidays. Poor people fight for basic standards and other poor people scoff, "Huh, they want two days off a week! I get one day off a month and my granpappy never took a day off in his life! The very idea of increasing the living conditions of the poor at the cost of billion-dollar company profits just sickens me. Please Tim Hortons CEO, cut employee hours and wages because that makes me happier to know people will stay poor and miserable like me and the savings can go into more ads and CEO bonuses because they deserve it more."

Yours might be next.

Amen Rick, thank you for this!

Once Wendy's bought it out, and had the donuts premade in ontario, instead of being freshly baked (like the good old days), only to be 'prepared' in a microwave by their 'baking staff', to save money...that was basically the start of the penny pinching. Maybe it was Tim Hortons aka Burger king now, that abolished the penny after all.

They've lost my $15 a day. Since early December I've been patronizing another coffee provider, one that gives away their coffee for 4 months of the year, every eighth one is free, they give senior discounts, never screw up my coffee and they have carrot muffins, which Tim's never did have. Yep, best decision ever was to never give time hortons any of my hard earned money ever again. $5400.00 a year in lost sales from just one customer! 😂

Here here!! Well put Rick!!We’ve actually stopped going to Tim’s!! I’m sickened by this ! Outraged actually! It is hard enough to get by in this day and age especially making minimum wage, but to make it even more difficult?! Are you kidding me!!? These rich, elitist make me sick! When is enough money enough? I mean while we bust our assess making money for you while we make peanuts in wages, you won’t pay our breaks now?!!!!!!! Seriously?!!! All we want is to get a fair wage for an honest day’s work!! I mean what’s next?!, slave labour?!, perhaps it will harken to the time of factory workers being paid 10 or 20 dollars a DAY?!!!!

I had lunch once and only once at a Tim Horton... never again. The only sure thing about that brand is that their cups are literally littering the whole environment. It reveals something about the type of costumers they attract...

Way to go! I agree 100% and I don't even go to Tim Hortons. They'd better watch out because everyone's watching and that sentiment for their stores, products, and experiences wears real thin when it comes to the Canadian values we've been forced to defend more than ever: fair wages, treatment, and _political equality_ meaning we need to give each other a chance, not treat each other like dirt because our rights have been better established _by law_ Tim Hortons should be ashamed, and the rights of _franchisees_ should be determined based on how they honour or dishonour the Tim Hortons brand. Employee rights should _not_ vary from location to location unless the _government_ says so, so that _Canadians_ can take responsibility as members of their democracy, not have to fight their employers for the benefits they were given upon hire!

I love your show !!!

Tim Hortons sucks. Ever since they switched to their new roaster to save money their coffee has gone downhill. Well, that and when they merged with Burger Thing they literally laid off 1/3 of their corporate staff and expected them all the work 1/3 harder for no more money. Their donuts are all made in a factory in Guleph, frozen and then proofed in the store. Nothing is made fresh. Everything is pre-packaged and pre-made. It's just not good anymore. So when I visit Canada and I want a quick coffee to go, I go to McDonald's. They scooped up Tim's old roaster and in a blind taste test, their coffee won. And stuff like this just means you will never see me in a Tim's ever again.

Not sure if this is true but McDonalds coffee is so much better than Tim's. Watch out Tim's, if you continue your reckless way it may be costly.

Theres a Tim Hortons on every street corner and in a pinch people are going to give up any form of a boycott regardless, no amount of outrage is going to affect Tims unfortunately, I think its widely accepted that McDonalds coffee is better, but there are far fewer McDonalds in Canada, I feel like the only way to really even make Tim Hortons worry even a little bit is for McDonalds to start putting up coffee shops everywhere, and then I think long term we're going to have a McDonalds problem, I don't think the Tim Hortons problem can or will be fixed, but I think Canada is losing its embrace on the brand and we're no longer considering it to be a Canadian institution.

I have not spent a cent since working there I hate the company as I did complain several times with nothing coming from it.

My best friend works at Tim's and she was so baffled when the Coburg story hit the news. She told me she hasn't been getting paid breaks since last October. She's a shift manager, worked there full time for two years now. Still makes minimum wage. And don't even talk about the shit benefits she gets.

What benefits? My daughter had worked at one for years. No paid lunch or break and no benefits.

a 9 hour shift is entitled to a 1 hour lunch by labour regulations, this means employees are only paid for 8 hours. in a 9 hour shift. If he's paying them 8 hrs and 20 min, that would equate to more money for his workers. Unless they are not given a full 1 hr lunch, in which case there's more to argue about.

God forbid a business cease to provide a benefit when a minimum wage increase is implemented that provides the exact same dollar value to the employee as that benefit.

oooh that roast at the end

consider this folks ... if the government passed a law that increased your mortgage/rent payment wouldnt you try to find a way to compensate for the extra cost???

When a company has to suddenly pay out so much more for hourly wages using the current product price set, it equates to financial losses. I get it. So they either have to cut staff or increase prices to make up for the wage increase. Either way it will affect business. Some companies are moving towards a fully automated product: you know....like the sandwich and coffee machines at the hospital.....yum.

rick is my 13th reason

Amen

So when a balloon POPS do we blame it on the weakness of its design or the underlying Prick that caused it to burst in the first place?

Most employers handed out notice well before the increases in price were handed out. And paid breaks have been slowly been taken away from employees at store levels for years now. It was a 6 buck gain per employee since every other company typically doesn't pay for lunch breaks. This has been blown out of the water and only half looked into. Not by news outlets but by the people. Employers have to guve their staff notice of these changes 3 months minimum in advance. But this only became an issue jan 1st. Anyone elae see the issue here?

Many years ago, when I worked minimum wage jobs and other jobs, and at NONE OF THEM, did I get paid breaks. I agree with giving staff paid breaks but I never had them.

I miss Rick!

Please stop the camera tilt

Expect lots of automation coming for Tim hortons and other fast food chains in the future.

When it comes to being, inprovished, my understanding has been, Tim Hortons provides you a bread bowl of chili?

what is more sad is that those same Tim Hortons workers are paying tax on their low earnings to fund things like the CBC.

If you give consumers the choice between paying employees less or paying 5 cents more per cup, which one do you think they'll choose? The question is already answered. There's a reason we're not surrounded by $20/hr earning baristas. The coffee would be more expensive and a rival chain with a similar product would eat the market share.

Maybe if Mercer paid his camera guy more than minimum wage he could hold a camera correctly.

Mercer is out to lunch on this one. Most hourly workers don't get paid lunch breaks. Businesses can't absorb this type of wage increase without cutting costs somewhere. It's a very competitive business and raising prices drastically will cost them market share resulting in a loss of jobs.

I mean we, as consumers, are more than willing to pay more for our product so that those working the labor to give it to us can be paid more... or are we?

Yeah, I can see people giving up Tim's because they "care" about the workers. You can see people being treated like shit by customers and owner alike. No one cares about the plight of minimum wage workers except minimum wage workers and people trying to make money off them.

"Interference isn't the answer to what ails us my friend' - actually it IS...we saw the same thing for the first several decades at the outset of industrialization and early capitalism (where machinery and technology took the work of humans, and we had a big surplus of labor...ultimately they installed govt legislation that regulated worker's pay and hours, to address said labor surplus, and we ultimately saw the vast middle class we see today immerge THANKS to said regulations). "Ps just saw a autoteller at shoppers" - sure, and you're going to see plenty more...all this means is the 'shrinking of the work week' (we saw it back in the 1800s, were the work week went form 50-60 to only 40) thanks to automation...we'll likely see the work week shrink from the common '40 hours' to 30 or 20 nowadays, as well).

I opted to go to mcdonalds for a breakfast sandwich yesterday. Their sandwich was actually good and had what seemed like a real egg compared to the sponge thing at Tim Horton’s. Not going back to Tims. You stopped being Canadian a long time ago.

Thanks Rick! The way Tim Horton's is far worse than the minimum wage issues: they've brought in foreign workers, and stack them up 6-per room and take that off their pay! Mind you, it is a franchise, but their head office could renegotiate all contracts regarding human rights in the work place.

I heard of managers doing that out in Western Canada. My daughter and a granddaughter have both worked for Tim Hortons. My daughter could tell you things that make you wonder how people even buy from their.

they are not getting paid for their 15 minute-mid-morning-or-afternoon break.

Money does not come from nowhere, the video keeps mentioning the son of the the franchise owner, but they are not representitive of local Tim Hortons franchisees who had to dump a LOT of time and capital to even start the business and after 3-5 years of hardwork, maybe making $150-200k NET INCOME. Now, let's take the minimum wage hike from $11.40 -> $14 -> $15 next year, that's an increase of $3.40 per employee per hour. Let's say on average, you open from 6am to 10pm (16 hours) and need 5 people at any given time to operate, that's a $3.40 x 5 x 16 x 365 = $99,280 more annually. It's just simple math, who in their right minds would ever open one in the first place?? All that initial cost, time, effort, and risk just to make $50-100k 5 years later??

Unfortunately I had my first meal in a Tim Hortons for the first time in years only last week. Never again.

A lot of people haven't been paid for lunch, for YEARS. This is nothing new.

Haven't been to Tim's in months lol

Man Tim Hortons use to be so good. Now it’s just a place with bad service, bland food, and it just feels like there isn’t much love put into this place anymore.

And go where? McDonald’s? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I'll give a grandmother a t-bag! Oops did I say that out loud? lol

Don’t forget the fact that their coffee is hot water mixed with brown food colouring... Tim’s used to be good now it’s so inconsistent eww

I work there.. it’s fun at times :’)

I worked in Tim Hortons before. There are much more things that need to be done other than putting a tea bag in a cup... :/

When they started charging 50 cents for two teaspoons of whipped topping on a cafe mocha... I stopped going there.

Timmies is a Canadian icon. The qualith of the coffee well we wn't go there but their other ptoducts are good especially the bagels and soups.

The Tim Hortons beside my home has terrible service and quality... the joy of going to this place has slowly evaporated

🤣😂👍👏💖

I dunno man, with all the tips people make in tims, you get easy 2 and a half dollars per hour more than any other traditionnal minimal wage job.
