I tried Hortons for the first time around 2017. It was shit then.

Peak Tim Hortons was probably the early-mid 2000’s, it got purchased in 2015 and got even worse at that point. So by 2017 it was already downhill.

Agreed. It was a dependable choice until like 2013, but had already started to slide in some areas (like the coffee). There was no going back after it sold.

I worked there from 2006 to 2012 and the downfall was insane. Completely lost the identity

It's unbelievable being from buffalo. What the actual hell. Shocking. I hear the Canadian ones are still good.

Nah, the Canadian stores are garbage too. It's been awful for a long time now.

I used to get it every time I visited Edmonton. Nah, just total shit tier everything now. Somehow worse than Starbucks or Dunkin which is already a really low bar.

The first Tim Hortons I visited was in Kandahar, Afghanistan in 2010.

I thought it was great! Not much to compare to though.....
