Inconsistent toasting is usually a result of the quartz heater tubes getting dirty and less heat reaching the bagels. Managers are also quite adept at ignoring equipment issues until catastrophic failure.

The age of the belt has no bearing on the belt speed, if the potentiometer on the toaster is wearing out, the belt speed can be different at any given setting than a brand new unit. If the sprocket on the gearmotor or the gearmotor itself are wearing out, this can also cause speed issues, though usually manifesting as random stop/starts on the conveyor.

Also at play is the fact Tim's uses a few different brands and models of toasters currently, usually Holman QCS2 or QCS3, and as more stores undergo their mandated renovations, the Nieco solid state control Toasters.

Timmies calls are the highlight of my day, they're usually a pretty clean location to work in, and then someone like you tries very hard to give me free coffee on my way out.
