The biggest Tim Horton's drive through nightmare is in Strathmore, Alberta.

Trans-Canada Highway (!!) backed up by coffee conjestion exacerbated by an abortion intersection as designed by a traffic planning doofus and approved by a bunch of overpaid town councillor meatheads.

STOP THE INSANITY!

Here's a thought....you should only be able to buy coffee and items that are already made, such as donuts. If you want a sandwich, bagel, etc., then you should have to go inside for those items.

i actually work at a Tim hortons and our drive thru is no where close to the road so theres nothing for people to complain about with that second you are waiting in the drive thru for that amount of time due to the inconsiderate lazy people going through getting sandwhich after sandwhich and the think about it the toaster cant toast things in a second and we DO have a coffee line the coffee is always prepared before the car is even at the window. our times for every car average on 19-21 seconds. Its not the staffs problem you are waiting it is the people in the store and driving thru. Honestly if its that big of a deal and you guys are telling people to stop being lazy than you complain about waiting in line then make coffee at home dont be lazy get up that 5 extra minutes and make it. AND if there WASNT a drive thru god imagine how many all you would be bitching than how busy it is inside and how the lines out the door think about it thats just stupid you need the drive thru to split the rush. people are in a rush and YES many of you dont think that drive thru is faster but it is because there is more than one person making everything. And its not our fault like i said how slow people are we cant tell them to hurry up especially when im training and its a persons first day it clearly says on the name tag that they are IN TRAINING dont be so rude think of what we have to go through when people are rude to us we try to maintain the traffic flow and keep people happy but dont ruin our days because your in a bad mood MAKE YOUR OWN COFFEE AT HOME!! Talk about lazy if you cant even do that buy tim hortons coffe grains if you want tims in the morning. Now you try being on the inside its not as easy as it looks espcially having to deal with the many that commented on here. Make my day write me back this is ridiculiouse!!! but really i do have too agree with the drive thru line it does get big and it shouldnt be near the road at all.

No the idiots that leave two carlengths in the line up as they read their paper or talk on the cell phone are the problem.

Ok some Timmys are not placed well for extended lineups. easy... force the company to put a traffic guide at end of property to tell them to go park. The line up is full!

Tim Horton's Drive-Thrus (ALL OF THEM) are the ONLY place in Thunder Bay, Ontario, you will actually witness a traffic jam!!

Once you turn in the driveway, you are COMMITTED.

If you change you mind or God forbid-I have seen this: forget your coffee at the window or they screw it up...you have to re-live the nightmare! You HAVE to go THRU no matter what.

Forget about parking in their lots! They are TOO SMALL and with the drive-thru lineup in the line of parking...why would you try?!

PRAY that the person in front of you isn't ordering food too!! UGH!!

Timmy-Ho's makes it so you pretty much have to use the drive-thru.

I agree that the people who typically prefer them are the ones that pay big bucks for gym memberships and then wait for a half-hour in a parking lot to park near the damned door! WHAT is up with THAT?!

The left turn into the Tim's I drive by everyday creates a traffic hazard.

Other Tim's stores are similar, with cars backed up onto the street trying to get in. Tim's should pay for turn lanes when they adversely impact traffic flow.

Personally, I don't go to Tim's. I have better things to do than stand in line to spend my money. 7-11 coffee is just as good.

Drive-thrus are passionately used by those same people that wait for many minutes for that parking spot close to the store. They drive SUVs and vans because their enormous buttocks don't fit into anything else.

Lazy suburban drones and drive-thrus go hand in hand.

DEFINITELY COFFEE ONLY AND A QUICK MUFFIN AT DRIVE THROUGH...the problem is inside, if they had a coffee line only would solve the issue. it's no fun waiting for everyone to order food just to get a couple of cups of hot brew.

Drive thru's should be outlawed. Get off your lazy ass, park your vehicle and come in to the store. Too much pollution!! What did we do before drive thru's were invented???

The company discourages walk-in business by concentrating staff at the drive-thru windows. I walk in most of the time and watch as they serve 5, 6 or more people at the drive thru in the time that it takes to serve 1 or 2 walk-ins.

That should be addressed.
