re: What do you remember about going to the movie rental store?

I worked at a Blockbuster for about 2 years. I had two goals at that job.

First one was finding the best softcore in the place. We were allowed to rent 5 movies at once, so I went through almost the whole store. Got to watch a lot of things I would of never watched. Blockbuster didn't have hardcore, but the Eros branded softcores seemed to show the most.

Second was pissing off the lying arse customers. You know who you are, the ones that always blame the late fees on us (employees) or the computers. Your lies were shite and I loved making you go off the handle about them. Little known fact about Blockbuster, your late time that we told you was in fact about 12 hours before the actual late time. Usually you were told a midnight late time, well the real time was noon the next day. The morning shift would go through the return box and make sure everything was checked in and there was nothing in the box before we opened. If you got a late fee and tried to fight it with me, I would just laugh and make you pay. I had people talking to my managers often, but they thought it was hilarious because they knew I was right.



It was also fun looking up what people rented in the computer system.
