Alamo City Popcorn Company — Local services in San Antonio

I normally do not leave reviews but since I’ve noticed two reviews stating they were mistreated due to their race I feel like I must say something on the store’s behalf. I have NEVER once ever felt that anyone has ever treated me or made me feel uncomfortable due to the color of my skin and I have been getting popcorn here for YEARS!!! Everyone has always been friendly and answered any questions I had to the best their knowledge and considering the employees seem fairly young they may have not been aware of what was being implied to them so it is possible that what someone was expecting one to do may not have happened but that’s when you ask directly since no one person is a mind reader. Now me being someone older with more experience as being a person who is not going to just buy anything, I would ask questions directly instead of making hints to someone or ask if they are providing samples if I’m unsure of what to buy. I would also be the type to stare at children who are behaving like they are playing in a playground instead of being in a store with manners. I love this store and the popcorn!!! They are accommodating and they are always trying their best to have options for everyone but it is so irritating when someone has to include race in the mix when it has nothing to...

I've seen this place many times that I've visited Dollar Tree and Big Lots but only stopped by this past Thursday. I was doing a photoshoot yesterday and thought maybe having some popcorn would be fun in the photos.

There were a lot of different promotions offered on the chalkboards outside the store so it gave me some ideas of what I could get. The store was very colorful with different tins and packaging. In the middle of the store was a variety of candies as well. Not only the sights very appealing but the sound and smell of popcorn popping really will get you to buy something.

I decided on getting 6 mini bags for $15. There were so many flavors to choose from. It was helpful to see the best sellers list. I decided 2 of the bags would be a combo of red (strawberry), white (kettle corn), and blue (blueberry). My friend I'm photographing is in the reserves, it's Memorial Day weekend, and so I thought that was appropriate. The other flavors I got were caramel coffee, churro, fiesta, and strawberry. I was giving these to my husband for his birthday.

I've sampled the churro and caramel coffee so far. I like both but prefer the caramel coffee. I'll definitely be stopping back to try the more savory and...

Smelled good. Rude staff. No thank you! Hire people that are helpful and want to be there. Small business starting out needs good people.

Manager or owner replied to my comment ⬆️- My response to you is that we did understand your policy about grabbing candy out of a jar. We actually did not see her doing that until your best employee pointed it out. (She was doing her job) That’s not the issue. Paying .50 for 3 pieces of candy is not the issue. Your best employee was rude from the start. We went in inquiring about different flavors of popcorn. She could not be more bothered by us asking about different popcorn. We genuinely wanted to buy some bags. She also didn’t even offer us samples to try, even though we were asking how some flavors tasted. 🤷‍♀️ if that’s your best employee…😶😶😶 also, If the manager/ owner is the one replying to this review, then I did speak to you when I returned to give a complaint. Plot twist: She was actually nice to my face….smh. And rude behind my back I...
