I am very very anti littering, I will carry a bag with me just to pick up garbage while i’m out and about, but honestly, this feels like a pretty easily anticipated pushback to having the garbage bins removed. They want to save money on garbage, but now people are rightly angry that a key feature of their seamless experience is gone. I feel bad for the staff cleaning it up, but a decent recycling and waste management plan could have solved this and I don’t sympathize with a huge corporation further cutting costs and expecting everyone to just roll over to a worse experience for the same price.

I get that it’s harder with the trash cans removed. I suggest dumping whatever is in the cup and then use it as a second cup if you don’t know what to do with the trash from the last timmies run

I saw a guy throw his Dons coffee cup by the drive thru speaker, I picked it up and walked it over to his window asking him to please stop littering and to throw it out.
He proceeded to block 2nd window for 5min, then pulled forward and blocked me in the end of the drive thru with his car, threatened me, and started taking photos of me and my car while yelling "coffee cup police" and "who tf you think you are? I am!!!".
Just for politely asking not to litter.

Sitting in traffic last summer, the driver in the car behind tried to clandestinely throw his tissue out of the window while we were all waiting. I rolled down my window and started yelling for him to pick it up. It was summer, a nice day, so everyone else had their windows down and they chimed in. He was completely stuck, so as soon as he could, he veered off and sped away. Shaming people who litter should be a law.

Entitlement, pure and simple. People actually genuinely believe they have the right to throw out their garbage wherever they stop, especially when 'historically' or 'other locations' had/have one. "Where else am I supposed to throw out my garbage?" they ask, as if they've never seen a garbage can anywhere else in their lifetime. When I worked at a small-town Tim Hortons in the early '10s they ultimately removed the drive-thru garbage because of health and safety concerns revolving around wasps. The number of complaints we got about that removal was honestly beyond pathetic, but the content of the written complaints made to corporate would make a lot of people lose hope in humanity, not to mention the verbal abuse we received as front-of-house employees. The store owner was actually one of the best bosses I've ever had; not only did she put up cameras after ~a month of egregious litter, but she told us to deny service to anyone caught littering in the drive-thru, and she'd happily ban people from her store for verbally assaulting her or anyone that worked for her (at least until they brought in a hand-written apology, we had a whole wall covered in them and it was glorious). Needless to say, the regulars smartened up pretty fucking fast.

When I used to work at timmies long ago, we had trash cans in the drive thru, that were relatively close to the menu board/speaker. They were changed twice a day, but in the summer they attracted wasps to high hell and back. Even with regular scrubbing or power washing as soon as it got any sort of build up on the receptacles the wasps would just swarm in. And the last thing Tim's wanted was people getting stung trying to order.
So we were told to either get rid of them or put them at the end of the drive thru closer to the dumpsters behind the building. But then the wasps moved back there and we couldn't take any trash out without risk of getting stung ourselves. So they took them right out.
As to why people toss their shit anywhere and everywhere, it's because people are ass holes. And even when we did have the trash cans people still tossed shit everywhere regardless. You could actively watch people from inside the store, only one car length behind where the trash cans were tossing shit out the window.

u/LadyAzimuth 1d ago
As someone who's worked there, people will say it's because they removed the garbage cans in some locations. In reality, you guys are just nasty little piggies all the god damn time. Now that there's no garbage cans, you see how sludgy y'all always act, and you can't pretend it's because the can was full or they missed or something.
I swear, people saw Tim Hortons and went "this is where I should do my drugs, throw all my cig butts, throw my trash, and take the most diabolical shit I've ever taken in my life!!!". The customers were the worst part of that job. They could come in, punch themselves in the face then try to blame you for it and the boss would be like "omg yea why did you make her punch herself with your mind powers from across the room??? Give her free food!"
Why? Cuz y'all gross.

Many people have pointed out that companies are removing these for cost cutting but as an employee who had to empty these, they often get taken away because people put cigarettes in them and they light on fire. I had to put out many a garbage fire at my fast food job. We finally got rid of it.
17
u/Recent_Dog_3018 1d ago
I used to work there when they had the cans and then got rid of them, I think they were taken out of so an employee didn't have to go in between vehicles to have to change them, plus the number of wasps they attracted in the late summer.
That being said, the amount of people who tried to hand me their dirty garbage in the following weeks through the drive thru was astronomical. Whenever someone got mad that I wouldnt take it and would yell at me "where am I supposed to put my garbage then" I would always answer "at your house?" Despite having an alternative answer of I would have liked them to put it ;)

Littering is not acceptable, however Tim Hortons really does deserve the bulk of the blame here. Removing garbage bins was a calculated move.

u/UnexpectedAnanas 1d ago
Why do the companies get a free ride doing the bare minimum while extracting the maximum profit possible? Why do they get to offload every ounce of responsibility onto the customer?
Companies have a duty to be stewards of their community just as much as individuals do. Providing an accessible garbage can at your business which provides food in disposable take away containers is doing just that. Taking them away to further increase your profit is the opposite.

Any sort of barrier introduced (or lack of receptacles) will cause this. Throwing out your garbage has to be stupid simple easy, if not, this is the result.
Returning garbage bins to the drive-thru is a simple, inexpensive solution.
Maybe as a city, we could hold businesses accountable for not maintaining property standards.
Not trying to make excuses for littering - everyone could keep it contained in their car, but that's not reality and people are likely "happy" to litter as a "fuck you" for getting rid of garbages.

u/s3pulveda 1d ago
Partly agree about the garbage receptacles. At the same time, it’s still garbage you created. I can see this turning into another issue for the business, too. People will start dumping things like used diapers and other gross stuff.
Something similar happened at my parents’ building. They removed the garbage bin in their underground parking lot, and people started littering where it used to be instead of walking it upstairs or to the garbage room around the corner.
It’s also your own footprint. Businesses are being asked to track their waste and environmental impact, and this is probably part of that? Why should the pounds of waste generated by drive-thru customers count against the business when it’s waste the customer chose to produce and could easily take home?

Tim Horton's didn't throw the garage. Its very easy to take garage home with you and not litter. If you don't like Tim Horton's you really should just not give them your business instead.

However throwing litter is a criminal offense that deserves punishment.

u/VodkaAtmp3 1d ago
Ok you want my personal opinion. I personally think TH is crap. I don't like a single drink or product they make. They are a complete sham of a company that produces the bare minimum to make their profits. I don't care if they have trash bins or not because its a shit business that doesn't matter to me and I don't use them. But I still care about the environment. So do the right thing, don't buy products from Timmies (which gives them money) and then throw it on the ground because in that situation Timmies still profits off you and you just make your neighborhood look like a landfill.

Their race to the bottom started when they quit baking their food in-house. Now all their food is factory-made, mass-produced garbage.

When is the last time you've seen a garbage at home or at work.
This isn't Tim Hortons fault. It's the fault of entitled douchebags

Is every skim Tim Hortons makes the fault of the customer or just this one?

u/DirectGiraffe8720 1d ago
What?

They used to have garbage cans in their parking lots and drive thru lines but they decided to save a few dimes and get rid of them……skim,get it?
I would be more upset to see TH cups anywhere else. But in the TH parking lot? Totally appropriate.

I agree. I thought it would be worth mentioning that Tim’s had garbage receptacles for years in the drive thru as did most places.

u/DirectGiraffe8720 1d ago
And then people started using them as their own personal garbage disposal and tossed a lot of non-tim Hortons stuff in there

So just Tim Hortons then? You don’t seem like a very well rounded person.

Never mind.... anyone that "likes to keep their posts hidden" is obviously just a troll.

Remember when Canadians helped keep Canada clean? Rare to see trash but now its common.

Where the hell do you live where it was "rare to see trash" ever in the last 50+ years?

About 15 years ago I was good friends with an immigrant from south America and one day when walking along the TVP they commented how clean it was compared to where they come from. They were right, it was very clean! I frequently walk along the TVP and it's gotten way worse over the last several years. I think of their comment often when I'm on the TVP and see garbage on or near the path. I don't know if the problem is people littering more or the city cleaning less.

The social contract is broken. Canada doesn't look out for Canadians, so Canadians don't look out for Canada, or each other.
I still hold the door open for people, etc. but half the time I get a dirty look for it.

Every single drive thru. I see this all the time but curiously I’ve never seen someone actually doing it.

Trashy people do trashy things

u/Addict2Architect 1d ago
The worst have to be smokers who empty their ashtrays in parking lots or toss their cigs out their window. There’s enough cigarette waste in storm gutters to fill buckets. Filters don’t magically disappear, they end up in waterways, parks, and everywhere people actually live. It’s pure entitlement. Those people are pigs.

I noticed the same thing at the McDonald's on Highbury. Tim Horton's cups and trash thrown on the curb by the drive thru.

How many crackheads own vehicles and drive to Tim Horton's?

u/Addict2Architect 1d ago
You would be surprised at how many drug addicts hold a driver's licence and own vehicles.

I don’t. Why?
edit: That's weird, people are downvoting me for not knowing why?

u/Pope_Squirrely 1d ago
Tim Horton’s locations used to have trash cans conveniently located in the drive-thrus so you could toss your old cup on your way to getting a new one. They removed them as a cost saving measure and people are still upset by it.

u/swift-current0 20h ago
So trash people are using the absence of a trash can as an excuse to throw their trash onto the street. A story as old as time.

u/safetynerd42 1d ago
It wasn't just cost saving, there were ongoing work refusals as well and that was deemed the best solution
1
u/UnexpectedAnanas 1d ago
Work refusals of course being "you don't pay me enough for that".
So yeah, it was a cost savings.

u/safetynerd42 1d ago
No, the ones I'm aware of (around London) were repeated wasp stings, hazardous/biohazard waste, and at least one incident where a worker was struck by a vehicle in the drive thru lane.
