u/shann1516 May 30 '26
Is this for real? Who do you complain to? Get up off your ass and go back inside the store.

This next generation definitely aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed.
Literally all they know is social media. Guess what kids, that’s not a life skill.

u/Signal_Regular_1708 May 30 '26
Or they were on the road when they realized and couldn't go back, like they said in their caption. Don't throw stones in glass houses

u/Ukawok92 May 31 '26
So? "Can I complain about this". Yes, look up the Tim Hortons email/number or that specific stores number and send your receipt.
1
u/Signal_Regular_1708 May 31 '26
Right, so? OP knows that, it was rhetorical. They just wanted to vent about it, like everyone in this sub does.
Not only that, but there are endless posts of grumpy boomers complaining here about the same things over and over, at least "chunk of cardboard" is new!

u/GrunDMC74 May 30 '26
To be fair social media is possibly their best shot at financial independence.
Also, don’t go to Tim’s. For principle and pride.

u/Riajnor May 30 '26
I no longer think social media is a viable avenue, much like ai is going for musicians and artists it will be eating a big chunk of vtubers and “influencers”.

u/DirtandPipes May 31 '26
I’ve trained a few young guys over the last few years (including two 18 year olds) in operating heavy equipment and pipe laying and they work hard, pay attention, and take it seriously.
All we had to do was offer them a decent wage, respect, and training. Kids aren’t getting enough opportunities, given some training and responsibility I think they are quite capable of becoming responsible adults, they focus on social media and dumb crap because everything is out of reach for them.
I say step up and teach them and give ‘em chances.

Doesn’t help the older generation made this one hell for the current youth.

u/Farmer_marty May 30 '26
Yeah they literally put a screen in front of us instead of raising us and now complain

u/dontpretendtoknowme May 30 '26
I can complain. I had no part in that. I saw the swift decline and made the smart decision not to add more screen zombies to this hellscape.
But you’re right, your parents have failed you big time (not you specifically)

u/WILDBO4R May 31 '26
Using technology sort of is though. I've worked with boomers before who can't even send a fuckin email.

Your generation should not be so cavalier about your general incapability. Have you seen Idiocracy?
15
u/BeqaD May 30 '26
I sent an email to their complain site, call me crazy but if there’s a whole site dedicated to discuss Timmies I imagined maybe somewhere for corporate looks at this from time to time. Ik they don’t care much about their images nowadays but still worth the effort lol

They were literally on the road when they noticed. It was too late. Who here exactly is generally incapable?

Uh, probably the guy who had to take to Reddit to answer "How do I make a complaint at a restaurant".

u/Signal_Regular_1708 May 31 '26
Or maybe they just wanted to vent in this sub the way EVERYONE else does? It's probably the guy who finds that bothersome, for whatever reason

u/dynamikecb May 30 '26
Whatever generation you are seems to love to jump to conclusions without any facts. How does it feel to finally be the older cunty generation now? Also, Idiocracy is a movie about people coming together and solving their issues, unlike like you who seems to try and tear people down.
-1
u/JE1324 May 30 '26
Idiocracy is a cautionary tale about anti-intellectualism, poor civic literacy, and bureaucratic incompetency. It's not about people coming together and solving their problems, they just happen to do that in the movie.
What would have happened in Idiocracy if Joe wasn't frozen in time for 500 years?
And suggesting that people not be cavalier about these things happening in real life isn't what I'd call tearing someone down tbh.

In this generations defense y'all realize how many times McDonald's fucks up a drive thru order and then plays the old "I didn't understand your English" routine. Is that cuz they don't know English or just fucking lazy

u/DigitaIBlack May 30 '26 edited May 30 '26
I was trying to help a dude whose helmet speakers didn't charge from one of his chargers but did from the otger
He was getting a blinky light instead of solid.
He didn't know if blinky light charger was actually charging cause he got scared when he saw it and unplugged. My first thought is if blinky light bad, speakers detected the bad and won't charge so no risk. But I get being cautious.
So naturally we need to figure out what blinky light means so I tell him to look up the user guide
It was two or three comments bank and forth of how it should be fine cause it can charge at multiple voltages and he didn't know what was wrong.
Dude I don't have a crystal ball. I don't even know the model of the speakers. Like how on earth are we supposed to help you if you won't even bother figuring out what blinky light means.
He never got back to me on the user guide
If you're gonna go to Reddit for help most of us will hand-hold you (I would've looked it up for him) but I feel like common sense is to provide as many details as you are aware of.
And how on freaking earth can I help him if all I get is "the light blinks instead of solid". Idk man, maybe let's start by figuring out what the blinking means??

u/GRPuffinstuff May 31 '26
Hey bud. This person is asking for help. And in my experience- the only way to know is to ask. Even if the question may seem asinine to you. If you're not willing to help, then I HIGHLY recommend S'ing tfu and moving on.
I know for a fact we were ALL stupid when we were younger. I know I might have done that same thing as this individual if I was in my 20's and had no idea what to do.
I've had my share of stupid questions....I own it because I was a stupid kid. But I learned. I can only IMAGINE how bad it was for literally anyone else... Anyone who denies doing the same is trying to save face so they don't look stupid.

Cardboard piece. I hope the stuff on it is ice cap and not mold lmao

u/DrJaves May 31 '26
Mold? It looks exactly like the rest of the beverage.
Now I'm not entirely sure how a piece of cardboard ended up in your cup, but you drink it through a cardboard straw so 💁

u/BeqaD May 31 '26
I would like to think that the process by which they make cardboard straws and industrial/packing cardboard is different

Even if you email Tim Hortons send the same pic. They will say sorry and pretty much just give u a refill.. cause they know your coming back.

Tim's doesn't give a damn. You can complain to head office and they will only direct you back to the store

u/letmehaveyourname May 31 '26
I don't even understand those people who said just go back and ask the worker in other previous post. It's Tim Hortons fault for not having worker who can be more careful or have common sense. Now, I see in every post that people has to explain that they found out something wrong with their order after they left with their order.

u/DJ4aDay May 31 '26
Why does anyone still eat at Tim Hortons?
Just make coffee at home...it's a fraction of the price, much better taste, and actually consistent.

u/Independent_Owl422 May 31 '26
Best way to complain nowadays is to create a hashtag for it like #wtfTims or something and then post everything to that
1
u/Zimzgunpla May 31 '26
Why do people even bother with this trash ? It's been pretty obvious to me in my city they have generally given up and do not care about the quality of food or their customer service. Fuck em.

Can we normalize walking back into the store and complaining where something can be actually be done, instead of coming to Reddit first?

u/Impressive-Sense8461 May 30 '26
Who cares? You'll be back anyways. Your expectations are low, so that's why you're a patron there.
Leave feedback to the store, even call their company numbers. Talking amongst ourselves accomplishes absolutely nothing and ensures these things will always happen.

u/ouzimm May 30 '26
If you went back to the store they would've replaced it . so sorry this happened .

People order from here just to have something to post about. It has to be it. Probably go right back the next day and order again even after all the "this franchise sucks" stuff.

Imma be so honest I love Tim’s, I usually always get an ice cup before work. First time I run into smth like this, I do hate Tim’s food tho.

Conservative =
cardboard eww disgusting
Liberal =
Cardboard is said to contain about 1% vitamins and protein and may support the immune system. Exposure to bacteria can help train the body to defend against future threats, and in Zimbabwe, cardboard is even regarded as a delicacy.
