Skip's Candy Corner — Local services in Buckingham Township

I used to love this store. Great candy and a nice, old time vibe. Yesterday I was there with my sister shopping around. We had half drank beverages with us in plastic cups. That the village now serves. As I shopped around, an older, female employee felt the need to scream across the room that “Open beverages are not allowed in the store” and that we had to leave. As everyone turned to stare at me, I looked around for some sign that stated this. I saw none. As I walked out with my sister, we again saw no signs informing customers. I understand not wanting drinks in stores bc of the fear of it spilling and ruining products, etc. I respect small businesses so I get it. But I really felt like this employee went out of her way to try to embarrass us. Pretty poor customer service.

I have been reading other reviews that state the same thing, and the owner claims to be speaking to the employees about it, but apparently nothing is changing. So I am thinking three strikes...

This place is a little slice of heaven. It’s somewhat comparable to walking into Honeydukes for me if I were Harry Potter. Feasting my eyes on all the delectable sweets. The smell of pure sugary delight. I didn’t even notice there was a downstairs my first time, I was too distracted! There was some cool sodas and every candy you could imagine down there! What I ended up purchasing was chocolate fudge. Great consistency and taste. Also got a box of dark chocolate assorted truffles…omg worth the price! They’re all delicious. I love supporting a place like this rather than getting something like Lindor truffles for someone. Gift them something from this store! You...
