Has a fast food chain fallen from grace harder than Tim Hortons?

>>21638893 (OP)
Donkan Dognuts perhaps

>>21638893 (OP)
Angry employee?

>>21638893 (OP)
subway

>>21638925
>still mostly edible
>open counter store design lets you walk out if you see its staffed entirely by jeets
nah subway is the only fast food chain I still like

>>21638925
subwhey hasn't shrinkflated or cheaped out. yes it's getting expensive which is ridiculous but that's universal. I think if you liked subway 20 years ago you would still like it now. if you didn't like subway 20 years ago you still wouldn't though

>>21638933
>subwhey hasn't shrinkflated
correct, but that just means a foot long is about 13 dollars instead of 5

>>21638929
>>21638933
Did you guys forget about the Jared fiasco?

>>21638945
jared's secret degeneracy in no way has anything to do with the company, its employees, or its food anon. are you retarded?

>>21638953
nta but I stopped going to subway for a few years when that happened

>>21638893 (OP)
its pretty unfortunate, as a leaf
tims used to be a decent stop on a road trip or lunch in a pinch, a chicken noodle soup and half a turkey club split with my brother was a perpetual feature on the drive up to the lake for a weekend
nows its just complete dogshit and the coffee is worse than ever, iirc the supplier switched over to mcdonalds at some point after tims got sold

>>21638914
>Angry employee?
i imagine a big black woman trying to grab at the timbits with those long fake nails they wear, and just breaking them all up

>>21638929
>>open counter store design lets you walk out if you see its staffed entirely by jeets

In Canada there is about a 99% this is true, therefore I do not patronize.

>>21638933
when subway moved away from making the bread in store it was dead to me. fuck shareholders and fuck subway.
>we can boost profits if we remove things and slightly reduce the quality of the food
you shouldn't accept lesser quality. If a store cannot follow through than in my eyes they've failed the customer

>>21638893 (OP)
wtf are those eggs?! is it AIslop

>>21638893 (OP)
looks like the bottom ones stuck to the top layer?

A buddy of mine got e coli the last time he had a bagel there.

>>21639043
Of course, it was a bagel with a brown "schmear"

>>21639043
The authentic Indian experience.

>>21638959
that is the whitest meal i've heard in a while lol

>>21638955
why, did you think someone was going to walk up to you and scold you for eating pedofood? if anything, all the subway they ate on biggest loser made me think ill be seen as fat

>>21638929
You can literally make a sub yourself at half the price.
Why do you want to watch a wagie do it for you and sneeze all over the ingredients when you’re not looking?

>>21638893 (OP)
Pretty much all fast food has been wrecked by demographic change in America. Canadian posters here have convinced me this is true of Canada too. It seems much better elsewhere in the world.

My local Tim Hortons when I was in highschool
>Donuts and baked goods made fresh daily by dedicated baking staff
>employees 90% white
>restaurant is kept clean and tidy
>staff were all friendly locals
>Simple, decent food with nothing questionable on the menu prepared to a reasonable standard
>coffee always tasted fresh, albeit average
>Open 24 hours, always had your back when you wanted to eat chili drunk at 3am
>a genuinely nice place to sit around in and meet up with your friends, always busy filled with locals

Tim Hortons now
>Nothing is fresh, everything in the store is shipped in frozen, baking staff don't exist
>100% of the staff are indian and speak poor english
>unfriendly and careless service
>fuck up orders constantly
>menu filled with stupid products no one wants or cares about completely divorced from the "coffee shop" concept
>food is mostly inedible trash I wouldnt feed to my dog
>coffee is never fresh
>probably the last place you would ever want to meet someone at for a coffee and a chat
>all the baked goods disappear from the displays by like 8pm and its basically closed at 830pm and all they will make you are drinks

>>21640306
Assuming the surly bitching on 4chan accurately represents reality is foolish.

>>21638893 (OP)
Thats what happens when you let a bunch of Illegal Immigrants who wipe their ass with their hands in the food related business

how do people still buy dogshit school cafeteria-tier subway when either jimmy johns, firehouse or jersey mikes exist?
you can get a freshly grilled cheesesteak from jersy mikes for 10 bucks, there's no way anything from subway can compete with that

>>21640308
And yet boomers still line up everyday for their double double. Last fuck yeah during the twilight of Canada.

>>21638893 (OP)
As a Leaf yes, I agree with Tim's, but from my personal habits, Quizno's shit the bed harder.

>>21638945
Cool it with the antisemitic remarks.

tim horton's is bad but it has improved slightly over the last decade
wendy's has gone from top tier to bottom of rhe barrel dogshit

>>21638893 (OP)
Don't know, I don't eat shit fast-food

>>21638893 (OP)
>slowly but surely only jeets work at tims
>slowly but surely tims goes to shit
Really makes one think

>>21640515
Oh so you used to go to Tim Horton's before 2005?

Speaking of donut franchises that ate shit what happened to Krispy Kreme?

>>21638953
How did you get Wi-Fi access in prison, Jared?
Did you have to suck some adults cocks?

>>21640343
No, this is what happens when American people think they are too precious to work in a fast food restaurant.

You reap what you sow, a bunch of social media addled prices and princesses that won't work,but complain about Indians.
Fuck you all......

>>21640367
Fuck off Moshe,

>>21640518
I remember going to a combo Timmy hos and wendies regularly during that period. It was shit then too.

>>21640532
We are. By decreasing the amount of labourers you increase the wages paid. That or they go out of business. This is how you maintain a higher state of living.
>>21640326
I live in Canada. I can confirm it's true.

my fucking sides.

>>21640519
Riding cultural fads can be dangerous because investing capital into expansion ends up being a net negative when the fad ends. You have to be sure that your sudden cultural relevance isn't going to end as quickly as it started. Companies that expand when they become a fad often end up worse off once a new current thing comes along because they are burdened with the debt they incurred to expand and no longer have the sales volume to justify the higher capacity.

singh hortons in the diverse NE of Calgary

>>21640311
I don't even bother trying in the cities but you can usually find a chain staffed by white kids out in the countryside where I live and work.

all of them seem to have experienced the same extreme decline over the past 5-8 years. they're all staffed by the same foreign workers, prices inflated by the same central bank money printing and quality compromised by the same corporate assassin penny pinching. there are only a handful of franchise locations spared, and the moment the owner sells they get ruined overnight.

>>21640326
If you want an idea of how bad the problem is, they even talk about it on the most leftist subplebbits now and they support deporting foreign workers after a decade of calling it racist.

I never got to try tim Hortons when they were still good. Some Canadian friend talked about how good they were years ago but when I went there he was embarrassed to take me there because it was after they stopped making the donuts in house so he knew it would be disappointing.

>>21640583
>I live in Canada.
Cute. So do I. Tim's going to shit has little to do with the thinly veiled racism the above was talking about and was already going that way when they started leaning hard into abusing the TFW program. It's a symptom of the company trying to squeeze every last cent out of nostalgia and fake patriotism they can before it finally implodes, which, frankly, can't come soon enough.
>>21642056
Why would I give a shit what a subreddit thinks? They're (occasionally) more of an echo chamber than this place.

>>21642064
Before they got strongarmed into having everything shipped in frozen from fucking Brantford, a lot of the places were legitimately quite good. Nothing fancy, but solid.

>>21642067
You sound like you're still living in the 2010s. Be quiet and go back to watching CBC.

>>21642092
Not enough slurs for you?

>>21642092
why are you replying to the ragebaiting mutt, you mouthbreather

>>21642281
The thing that unites all cultures and peoples in the current year is absolute hatred of indians
Its rare I see someone that doesn't want to start a pogrom against them nowadays
the fucking shift

>>21638945
Why should I care that a pedophile likes the same sandwich I do?

>>21642076
Yeah it doesn't have to be amazing. Just predictable quality at a good price. I got the microwaved donuts and jeet customer service. It was quite bad

>>21638962
please when can we start locking women up for wearing those and fumbling around like retards with them?

>>21640308
Every old person I know has gotten sick or food poisoning going to Tim Hortons but they keep going back. They'll close after the day of the pillow.

>>21642749
That's racist.

>>21642760
Honestly, I hope the day of the SSRI cutoff happens first, you whiny fags have gotten somehow more annoying than boomers

>>21638893 (OP)
I never even really considered Tim Horton's a fast-food place. Its just a drive through coffee shop.

subway is the only one that comes close because of the sheer price bloat and being an apparent spawn point for jeets
tim hortons is actual inedible trash that will make you sick seven times out of ten

>>21638945
Why do you care what people do in the privacy of their own bedroom? It's not your business, stop letting lgbtq+map live rent free in your head.

No. No restauraunt has fallen from grace more than Tim Hortons. They have butchered the apple fritter beyond recognition. I know people back in 2010 who stopped going just because of their shitty apple fritters.

>>21638983
i member having to wait for my freshly baked herbs n cheese. shit was good

>>21640819
Pic rel isn't really a good example though. Everyone dropped Sriracha because the retarded CEO of Huy Fong (aka the only kind of Sriracha anyone ever used) got greedy and tried to fuck over the pepper growers that had been growing his personal crops since the 80s. They switched to a new supplier and it tasted like shit. Sriracha wasn't a fad coming to a natural end or something, it basically killed itself through poor business decisions. The almost exact same thing happened with Lao Gan Ma, but the original owner took back over again and made them start using their old chili supplier.

>>21640829
Saar, please do the understanding.

>go maybe once every few months for late night sugar rush
>always get a toasted coconut doughnut if they have them in stock (they stop reheating them after like 8pm)
>they only stock chocolate toasted coconut doughnuts now
Literally the last thing that kept me going is gone.

Who even still goes there?

>>21642760
The amount of institutions that are still around because boomers refuse to adapt is truly astonishing

>>21645024
It's not just boomers. People in general don't take care of themselves because they refuse to believe bad things will happen to them, and have some twisted idea that if something bad did happen to them, the odds of it happening again will be lower.
I have no idea how Chipotle is still around.

>>21638925
Omg this. Latest 90s early 00s subway was the tits now I cant eat it without getting sick

bummed out about tims, lots of fond memories of getting stuff from there whether it was hot chocolate on the way to hockey or grabbing those big bagel sandwiches when i worked with my brother

half the time i order something they fuck it up or forgot to give me a sauce or something. only reason to go is for the honey crueller

>>21640351
Subway is for people who fall for the "healthy food" marketing nonsense. Technically the veggie selection makes it potentially more nutritious, but then they ruin it with all the high calorie other components.
It's also faster. Jersey Mike's takes forever. Jimmy John's is better tasting but way too expensive for cold cuts.
>>21640356
Here in freedom land people back up the drive thru at timmies to the street. I haven't been there since I stopped find to Canada (only place I would her timmies as you don't have a choice sometimes.) I've never gotten it here, but people still do. I think it's the coffee. They're addicted and Starbucks doesn't have chocolate donuts.
I grind my own coffee at home now too.

>>21638933
Subway used to be about getting a meh tier but cheap sandwich.

Today it's still meh tier, but no longer cheap.

They used to have good coupons too, but I've noticed they just keeping getting worse each year, what was once 'buy one get one free', turned into 'buy one get one for $3', and now it's 'buy two get one free'. In five years it'll probably be 'buy two, get one for $5' or something.

>>21640308
This is what happens when companies prioritize profit at any cost.

>>21638945
Nobody cares about pædophilia anymore. We elected a pædo to the highest office explicitly on the notion of keeping himself and his pædo buddies out of prison. We literally handed them a get-out-of-jail-free car because we do not care if kids get raped. Who gives a fuck about some fat sandwich creep?

>>21638945
him being scum has no bearing on the product quality. whoever was in charge of marketing had no say on the suppliers they used
do you think jared was personally making all the food to put on the subs?

>>21640308
yes but anon the line went up, aren't you happy for that?

>>21640210
>watch a wagie do it for you and sneeze all over the ingredients
If it's a cute girl I will tip :)

>>21638933
Without the seafood sensation, there's no reason to go to Subway.

>>21638893 (OP)
Quiznos certainly tried with their spong monkey commercials.

>>21638893 (OP)
Subway staked their existence on a soon-to-be convicted pedophile, then got caught using yoga mat chemicals in their bread and using fake tuna. THEN, after all of that fucking up, and in a market full of competitors, they jacked up their prices to unsustainable levels to try to take advantage of the COVID crisis.

>>21638901
Same problem at both, the poos completely took over and bought every franchise location they could.

I was fucking ecstatic to find a single Brown's Chicken location that hasn't been pooed on. I go to that one whenever I need a fried livers and mushrooms fix even though it's about 18 miles each way.

>>21646401
aka the singing rats

>>21638933
their bread is as wide as a breadstick now and they cut their tomato slices in half

>>21638933
Yeah it's hard to shrink too much when you measure your food in inches(this is why the quarterpounder retains its decency). Almost no chains will actually honor 5 dollars foot long deals anymore though.

>>21643044
i miss the blueberry fritter so much its unreal

>>21645067
Maybe the subways around you just suck.

>>21638914
or yet another snotty kid pawing them with it's dirty hand just for shit and giggles

>>21646579
That would be every subway in the country. for the past 20 years

>>21638893 (OP)
Saar what do you be meaning only the finest of foods at the Horton of Tims.

>>21640308
B-But you have to understand, anon, the lines must always go up!
Concessions had to be made.

>>21638959
lol common meme myth. They haven't changed the coffee, you tool

I'll still go to Rimmies for an iced capp once in a while
>>21646561
This and the walnut crunch

>>21638893 (OP)
The real question how do MBAs and business people, the very people who are supposed to know "how businesses work" are behind it and cannot find a way to turn things around?

>>21647494
because they're brown too

>>21646545
Oh no, Brown's Chicken had been pooed too?

That is such a bummer to hear.

>>21647495
I don't know anon, i just don't buy it.
Browns can brown nose the owners as much as they want but balance sheets don't lie. If the owners see their profits going in the red i doubt they'll spare the manager, brown or black or white

>>21647532
>browns are going to hold other browns accountable for mismanagement

have you seen the state of India?

>>21638962
Its all old Indian women if it's Tim Hortons. Looks like a bunch stuck together and they're just ripping and selling them anyways.

>>21640306
You guys got the spics and nigs but we got the indians first and now they're coming to you. You should have listened.

>>21638942
$5 footlongs were a crazy deal back then, some franchises had to shut down because they couldn't break even with the prices

lol wrong thread
there's a tim hortons near where I live and the place is usually emptyish
not a good sign

If it wasn't for old people and construction workers they'd be out of business. I'd rather have gas station coffee if I needed a drink on the run.

>>21647494
It's cause the owners are Indian, and they love ethnic nepotism (aka invasion). The solution is to start a competitive chain, but Tim's has a religious following that will take decades to break.

>>21638893 (OP)
bloody fookin liberals

>>21644518
>Retirees who can't let go
>Labourers picking up coffee runs
>Function planers too lazy to go to a proper catering company
>Tourists thinking it's a big deal (they only go once)

Blue collar Gen X and younger workers tend to go for McDonalds for cheap coffee, not even my observation it's a statistical fact. Independent coffee places dominate for middle class office workers and female university students. Starbucks is losing popularity but Asians & Arabs still like it. 2nd cup, the other Canadian chain, is mostly wealthier boomers these days; too posh for blue collar but too lame for the hip crowd.

Leaf here. I haven't been to Timmies since well before the pandemic and I'm never going again. If you're American, I really cannot impress upon you how much Canadian fast food has been ruined by Indians. It disgusts me to even walk by one and see a sea of turbans and unkempt, oily black hair behind the counter.

The only chain I still go to is Starbucks, because they seem to exclusively employ flirty white women (though, of course, you'll be paying for the privilege). Sadly, in any urban environment, they also attract the homeless like a plague.
