I worked at Blockbuster through college and for a while after I graduated. The free rentals were nice, but the customer's were a pain in the arse. People would feel personally insulted if we didn't have the one movie they wanted to rent that night.
If you were nice, I would take care of your late fees for you. If you were a dick, there were ways we could frick with you.
We had a lesbian couple who would make baked goods from scratch as a hobby. They never paid for rentals as long as they brought me brownies.
And if you were a cop, you got free rentals. And I would tell them that if they ever wanted to hang out in the store in uniform, I would give them a free rental and a coke. We rarely had problems with shoplifters. And if I ever had to call 911, half of the JP police department would show up to make sure we were ok.

My best friend invited me over for his birthday and his mom rented a whole SNES for the weekend. I stayed both nights and we played MARIO world and madden all night
Thought I'd died and gone to heaven

You worked in a cooler Blockbuster than me. Management was always all over our shite to get every dime we could out of people. No way we could give out free rentals often. Occassionally the decent managers would give us some of those free rental cards to hook certain people up, but we had to keep that shite quiet. They were even all over our arse about our free rentals making sure we weren't getting them for friends/etc.
