Disappointed with the experience today.
My child had been looking forward to this popcorn promotion all week, so we walked in excited and smiling, ready to enjoy the deal.
Last year, I went to the New Caney location, and they actually filled our container all the way to the top. I understand there is a 400 oz limit, and I completely understand that Cinemark has a lot of people to serve during a promotion like this. That’s not the problem.
It’s just disappointing when something is promoted a certain way, you walk in excited expecting that experience, and then it’s not quite what was advertised. That excitement and smile you walked in with kind of goes away.
I brought two containers, paid $5 for each, and neither was filled to the top. They were even filled slightly differently, with one having less popcorn than the other.
I was actually ready to show it off to my friends and tell them, “Look, the deal is legit! Go get yours!” 😂 I was also excited to bring the popcorn to our Labor Day BBQ with the family today and show everyone what we got.
I’m not trying to make a huge deal over popcorn. I understand there are limits and a lot of customers to serve. I just wish our experience had matched the excitement we had going in, especially after looking forward to it all week.
Well, now we know. Maybe next time we’ll try a different location and see if they fill them to the top like New Caney did last year.
