Five and Dime General Store - My boss was Mr McGee

I got my first real six-string, I bought it here. I'm Canadian, by the way…read more The man said it right. It's sad that not alot of Yelp users come to places like this and give them a review. Just the fancy restaurants and the tourist hotspots which don't really need a review where your review will get lost in a sea of 20,000 others. This place is super cute with a lot of great stuff and fun stuff and I've stopped in here on several occasions when coming to San Antonio, and I'm sure they will come back here on many occasions in the future. And they have the word five in their name so what rating did you think I was going to give them? This store is a dime.

I marvel at the fact that so many stores -- mere spitting distance from one of America's most…read morehistoric places (The Alamo) -- get no love, nor even attention, from Yelpers. Here is a general store across the street from a site with more than 2,500 photos, almost 1,000 reviews (and an inexplicably low 4-star composite rating) and has a paltry EIGHT reviews and 4 photos (which I'm going to double today). Maybe I just love general stores with the amalgam of touristy stuff, toiletries you forgot to bring, and temptations of the sweet and salty kind. They sum it up best with their motto, "Travel necessities. Hometown setting." First, yes, as you would expect, there is PLENTY of Alamo-related stuff. Neither cheap nor chintzy, there are plenty of Alamo t-shirts, cups, magnets, mugs souvenirs, and other ephemera at prices (at least based on my experience) a bit less expensive than at other establishments. An, if you want to show some Texas pride, there's plenty to buy to remind your friends where you're from and what state not to mess with. And yes, it has the feel with the old-time pharmacy catch-alls, from medicines and ointments to phone chargers and travel bags. The convenience of an airport gift shop without the high prices and drab formulaicness. Five and Dime ain't for the cynic. You'll find the kind of cowboy hats you'd find on a sorority girl at a Saturday night party. You'll find the kind of sombreros you have lying around awaiting the moment when your friend passes out drunk and you can place it on his head and Sharpie a Zapata-style mustache on his upper lip. Yes, there's plenty of humor in the Five and Dime collection! In the end, Five and Dime is a great store for both local and tourist alike. Their hometown philosophy can also be found at their other locations: On the San Antonio Riverwalk, on the Landing in Branson, in Old Town San Diego, Market Street in Charleston, Old Town in St. Augustine (FL), Cannery Row in Monterey (CA), River Street in Savannah (GA), and the Historic Plaza in Santa Fe. All great places, and all where I'll be making a stop at the Five and Dime when I do. See you there!

Self-Check Out I…read morelike the option for self-check out. That made things easy for buying a few drinks. Very clean store, to include the restrooms. Nice food options too, with seating.

Anna, if you want to be competitive, visit a circle k. TXB .14 cents a gallon off (limited 20…read moregallons) doesn't fill up a truck or any other vehicle I own. Your 3.99 breakfast taco is a joke. Taste like the eggs are from a carton and the size of it is not worth $3.99. Come visit me, I would love to buy you a competitive $4.00 breakfast taco and a cup of coffee. Eggs are cheap and TXB acts like they are still $6.00 a dozen. And you cant tell me the cost is labor based because your labor cost is no different than anyone else who sells Breakfast tacos. What everyone is paying for is the TXB branding. Take a look at all the TXB merchandise, crazy price! From ball caps to t-shirts to taco and drinks. People dont expect Walmart pricing but stop robbing people. Two words I would like to share, QUALITY: Make sure you are selling a product that is worth the dollar. QUANTITY: when your selling a $3.99 product make sure the people are getting their money's worth. So please do not insult my intelligence when it comes to TXB wanting to be a competitive market. TXB is looking out for themselves. I see window decorations, TXB calls it daily specials...Does TXB have some of the cleanest stores, yes, No doubt! You can hang that $25.00 cap on that! When TXB started opening stores in my town I was proud of yall. TEXAS IS BETTER THAN THIS! TXB proudly advertises as a Texas based store, Everything is suppose to be bigger and better in Texas, right? Take a look around and ask yourself if TXB lives up to that, and im not referring to the square footage of your stores. One more thing, stopped in a TBX while heading to the lake, How in the heck can TXB feel good about themselves selling ice for 4.00 a bag? Im guessing the bags are $3.50, because water used to make ice cant be anymore than .50 cents a bag. The bags are nice! Customer paying for TXB branding maybe? I walked 20 feet with that $3.50 bag, opened the bag, threw the ice in my ice chest and the bag went straight into your trash can. Believe it or not a lot of people do the same thing! No one else ever sees that nifty little bag TXB is so proud of. Hope you having a good week. Thanks for listening, Greg B.
