Tim Hortons customer tries to be nice and is slammed by Reddit users

All one Tim Hortons customer wanted to do was thank a person for “paying it forward,” but was slammed by Reddit users instead.

Tim Hortons isn’t the most universally liked franchise right now. While the queues (and all five in my local area) are still busy, there’s been a lot of negative press. Should it really be that surprising that Reddit users slammed one person who came online to thank someone for “paying it forward?”

One user shared an experience after letting another car in front of them at the drive-thru. That other car paid it forward by paying for the user’s coffee.

However, rather than praising the goodness of humanity, other Reddit users took to the social media site to slam Tim Hortons for all sorts of reasons, including the bad coffee. Many suspected this user as an employee of the franchise, or a marketing person disguised as a customer, sharing an ad for the franchise.

The customer came back to explain that it really was a thank you post and they hate the coffee too. It turns out Tim Hortons is just the only place to get coffee on the way to work.

It is a shame that the thread turned into this. After all, it was a shout-out to someone doing a good thing. Surely, we should all be grateful when someone is good and make a note of the positive things that happen in the world. However, everything just has to turn negative.

One thing this Reddit post does prove is that Canadians hate Tim Hortons. Even if there are queues out the door! On a plus note, a lot of the negativity was towards the coffee and that annoyingness of being stuck behind someone who orders the whole store when you just want one coffee.
