Tim Hortons drive thru policy...

[yanks_rinks]

Hi all,
I went to a Tim Hortons in Brampton on my Motorcycle with my girlfriend and they refused to give me coffee at drive thru. I dont think it was appropriate. Has any one had same experience as of me? Saying that I did got coffee at other location in Mississauga at Drive Thru Tim Hortons on Motorcycle. I am not sure what their drive thru policy is.

Did you ask what their reason was for refusing you?

[STARSHIP]

Did that on or bikes 25 years ago in California or our bicycles and they served us.

My friend and I pulled a prank back in high school where I activated the sensor at the speaker box, then I would pretended to drive up to the booth. But, instead I made a turn towards the parking lot and my friend got out of the car and walked up to the booth. I will always remember the expression on the girls face. However, she still served the coffee we ordered. That being said, I dont think they have a drive-thru policy. I could be wrong ....

Triple triple for me if you're going again.

Thay had a Time Hortons in Cali 25 years ago?
Just messin with ya.

I know Rotten Ronnie's here in Markham won't serve ya late at night if your not in a car. Last summer, I was passing by and helped a couple of kids get food in my car cause they wouldn't serve them. I don't see what the problem is.

Yeah lots of places do that, I'm guessing to reduce the walk-thru robberies lol.

Though I figure if someone wants to rob a place, can do it just as easily from a car as you can walking up to the window.

[joy]

maybe they didnt want the liability of a biker spilling hot coffee on themselves? but then again, you have those big bikes with the cupholders, so that doesnt really make sense.

When I had my Goldwing - cup holder equipped. Never had any problem with Tim Hortons drive-thru's. Should send a complaint to Corporate head office and see what their reaction to the complaint is.

Your Goldwing probably has more features than a standard car, no suprise there that they serve you everytime.

I worked at Tim Hortons for 5 years and at first we weren't allowed to serve anyone that wasn't in a car, then it turned to we serve anyone with a valid license plate, then it was half the managers saying no and half saying yes, I always served them whether I got in **** or not :P

What was the reason though for not serving anyone not in a car?

I told the girl at drive thru that I had coffee at drive thru bfr also, she said that her supervisor told her not to give any coffee or food to any one on bike and motorcycle. I have a cup holder in my bike and moreover I was not riding alone. I went to Tim Hortons website and I cannot find any specific drive thru rules written also. I think I will call their corporate head office and ask them about this.

I would suspect it's just a legality (read: the stella award) issue. IE if you ride off, and hte coffee spills (cupholder or not), and you burn yourself, it probably can be spun to say that they never should've given you a coffee.

I'd be curious to know which Tim Hortons in Brampton? I worked at tim horton's for 4 years in Brampton. I would have no clue as to why they wouldn't serve you though.

Please let me know

[teflon]

Two words..


POWER TRIP!


and obviously you dealt with a *****..

Get real!

[zacm7]

i know that mcdonalds wont serve you if you walk up on foot because of security issues...tried it in high school once because it was a 24h drive thu and they denied us, makes no sense that after 12am if you dont have a car mcdonalds wont serve you.

[Declan Gunn]

how the hell would you have ridden off with your coffees without dropping it or your girlfriend? be reasonable and use your common sense.

there's a reason why m/c's don't have cupholders

What was the reason though for not serving anyone not in a car?

Because its a DRIVE-through.... not a walk through. if you're walking, use the door.

if someone was standing by the DT window and a car came around the corner...

[vrus]

There are options for cup holders in the year of 2010.
