I was an assistant manager at the Blockbuster on Clearview and W. Esplanade in Metry.

But going back further, as a kid there was few things better then being able to wander around the video store and pick out any video you wanted. That was your video for the weekend and you could watch it as many times as you wanted. Add a Nintendo game, and it was pure heaven.

We likely know one another. I worked at 22043, 22073, 22081, and I can't remember Cleary and Vets #.

Stories from the other side of the counter include the realization that the public is everything Randal Graves says they are: idiots.

"Its too bad you have to work today(xmas, new years, thanksgiving, Mardi gras, you name it, open 365)" "Well, I wouldn't be here if people didn't come in."

"Ummm, is today two for Tuesday?" "Well sir, its Wednesday. So……"

"You're full of shite. I returned those movies, ON TIME! They're here, you're lying."
"Ma'am, are you sure you returned them to this location? You have to return them to the Blockbuster you rented from."
"I know that! You think I'm stupid? Whats your district manager's #?"
:picking up ours from/and dropping off Hollywood's videos that end up in the return bin: Thinking, she's stupid alright.

At the time, many nights I despised working there. Looking back, and having a career now, it was a pretty good gig.
