I drive from Dallas, Texas faithfully every year to Tennessee to Chicago to the world's GREATEST POPCORN GARRETT"S POPCORN!!!!!! (During the 4th of July, "Taste Of Chicago") I've never disliked this great tasting popcorn from the first day I taste it, now I will agree customer service is horrible, but if you know what you want before you get there it should knock off a few disappointments. Now prices may be high but I never complain because everyone has there own option to buy or not to buy and I choose to BUY IT!!! I even order from the internet when I go back home when I run out because I love it just that much. So I'm telling you the wait in the long line is worth it especially for the Buttery Chessey Popcorn ( You can never go wrong)... It's always fun to bring someone with you that'll keep company while waiting because I always take my whole family because its like our every year spot, and if you enjoy just walking the city, then it won't be a problem. Also for the people who don't like spending that much, you can always get a bag of the popcorn at a very nice size for about $6.00-$7.00 and it'll last you for a coulple of day's (But that depends on if you can stop yourself from eating it all : )....So for all the negative things said look over it because the problem is with the customer service and not the popcorn and with all the complaints people still come back FAITHFULLY!!! So to make things a little easier go online and check out the different popcorns they have and pick what you would like to taste and then go wait in the long line for a long lasting tast.... I LOVE GARRETT'S POPCORN!!!

Pros: GREAT POPCORN!!!!!!!

Cons: BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT LIFE GOES ON.....

There is no doubt that garretts popcorn is delicious, but I have to agree with some of the consumers the staff is clueless and rude and show no compassion to the consumers that wait in the long line for sometimes over a hour. I visited the Michigan Ave. store about a month ago and at 10:10 p.m. on a Saturday the guy said, "We are out of caramel corn for the night!" But the store closed at 11:00 p.m. so after hearing this we got out of line after about twenty minutes. There are a bunch of kids working in these stores that have no self respect and the owner needs to hire people that are more responsible and understand the definition of real customer service. Good Popcorn! Terrible staff!

Pros: Good Popcorn

Cons: Terrible customer service, long lines
