My Blockbuster Video Stories 

It's been 84 years.

“ Nudity, Adult situations, Blood, and Violence did I mention that it contains a nudity?” 😂

“Let me read you the ratings really quickly...NUDITEE...adult situations...BUH-LOOD and violence...”

Blockbuster: You took everything from me...

Kids don’t even know about when Netflix used to mail the movies to you

Yo your mom is the real MVP. She had your back throughout all of this.

I remember on the vhs “Be kind an please rewind”

Used to work for BlockBuster way back. I can definitely say that there were times I had to call parents of young children when they were trying to rent an M rated game or an R-rated movie without their parents around. Only time I would call for PG-13 was if they had a memo in their file saying "Please call if so-and-so is renting". Most of the times I just asked the parent when they came inside the store with the kids, and if they said yes, I left it at that. As for late-fees, my place was one that made it MANDATORY that staff check the drop off box three times a day, once in the morning, middle of day, and before close so such mistakes like that NEVER happened, almost never mind you. Nothing worse than embarrassing yourself over not properly checking in the returns... though lots of times I would have to call people about them returning just the empty case... and lots of times people did still have the movies or games, despite saying they didn't only to later come back once we told them exactly how many copies we had and the one copy that wasn't in the system was the one that was last rented by them and saying "oh, I just forgot." or "I must have mixed it in with my own collection." Wiped everything save a week late fee fine for wasting our time if they were shitty. Also true about the Netflix scenario... my manager was shaking his head saying "our company is run by stubborn idiots". Best job of my life... shame it came to an end.

Nothing like renting golden eye 2 for the PS2

No one:

Blockbuster was the shit I literally cried whenever I saw it go out

“

Stacy's voice is EVERYTHING 😆😭

“Your son is here trying to rent a movie. It’s an ‘Japanimation’ movie”

I love the message that goes with this video! We need to embrace change and not be scared of it or run from it! The world around us is changing!

I used to work at a blockbuster for a couple of years. Since then, I'll never forget tax on $4.99.

This went from relatable animation to meaningful, emotional talk real quick.
