I can't imagine anyone wanting to exchange DVDs with strangers and lift that nasty cover and rub your fingers all over that gross touchscreen.

I haven't used Redbox in years. Surely wouldn't now.

They have a digital platform but im sure this is hurting them. I mean honestly you could just wear gloves tho n redbox wouldn't be a problem so you would've thought everyone being home wouldve been their dream scenario. Theres probably enough people that think the virus is a hoax to keep them afloat

I passed a redbox yesterday. There was a huge sign stating “This device cleaned hourly!”

There’s a double Redbox outside of the Walgreens on the corner of Jefferson and corporate in BR. Then again, there are a ton of old people in the area

edgy reply, but these still do a booming (no pun intended) business or you wouldn't see one in every walgreen's parking lot.

Mostly for hot chicks who know that if they ask some nerd to set up streaming or whatever he'll get needy and try to score with her.

Probably will kill the actual red box’s you see outside of store. But we use Redbox streaming service quite a bit so I think they’ll be fine.

Remember everyone use to watch Netflix via the US Mail. Streaming is the future for all media.
