I would bet that price is the reason the majority of people put up with Tim's.
The second thing Tim's can be good at is speed, depending on the location, and what the typical visitor is buying.
When I did my undergrad, the Tim's near the big lecture halls at my university was staffed by three middle-aged ladies: one on food, one on drinks, and one on cash. They had some kind of rhythm cultivated over years going on. The lady on cash was a 5 foot tall old Asian lady that would yell "Next!" like the Soup Nazi to get the line moving. It helped that all the students just ordered double doubles (no fancy drinks or food heated up in the microwave) and paid by swiping student cards loaded with cash. A Psych 101 lecture would let out with 1,000 people and they could clear a line of 100 students in a matter of minutes. Unbelievable stuff.
No matter what Tim's you go to, the food is all the same crap, so I find that the poorly-reviewed locations mostly boil down to how quick the service is.
