I’ve noticed our local Blockbusters are always empty of customers, even on the old busy times Friday and Saturday nights. The new $1 rental vending machines at grocery stores seem to be getting longer and longer lines.
We have an entertainmart store here where you can buy movies cheaper than they can be rented. That, the internet, etc., the old local rental store is just not a viable business model anymore.
Blockbusters can choke on their DVDs, BRDs, VHSs etc. For a couple of decades they ripped off eager customers, hitting them with ‘mystical’ late fees and gave them bad service to boot!...now, they can take their rightful place in the buggy whip museum. Every one I see brings a smile to my heart.
