I worked there in high school. $5.75/hr + 5 free rentals per week. One of the best CSRs they had. Was approached about a management position but was leaving for college. Oh, if only I started on that sweet Blockbuster ladder, where would I be today?

It’s crazy to think that, if humanity makes it to the 24th century, this would be seen an invaluable piece of cultural history.

The 5 numbers after the 2 were the store code, the 5 numbers after that were the member number.

Blockbuster will return from the ashes, crush all these streaming services, and return to its rightful place on the movie rental and video game rental throne. Mark my words

Idk... With how streaming is fragmenting and being shitty, i’d check out a new rental place.

I grew up in the blockbuster era as well and it’s still a good conversation point to reminisce about.

My first job!

Everyone was confused and derisive towards DVDs when we got our first delivery. They were only for sale, not rent at that time.
