Blockbuster Video

Came in the other day looking for a copy of Inception and to my surprise, this place is indeed going out of business. You can’t rent from here anymore but they are selling everything for dirt cheap so if you are looking to buy, this would be the place to go. However, they don’t seem to be getting newer releases to sell.

In a world of full of Netflix-​inspired craze and competition is there anybody left who prefers the old school method of video rental?
I gave the online rentals a try and it’s just not my style… I’m too spontaneous for such a medium. I find it impossible to project the mood I may be in when I finally manage to free 160+ consecutive minutes in which to watch a flick.
While it is heartbreaking that, back in the day, Blockbuster and the like forced nearly every ma & pa video rental business to close their doors forever :(it should be noted, such an event was inevitable especially considering the video rental concept is fading fast and will most likely be obsolete in coming years. Once all of us traditionalists either die or embrace the technological bandwagon in all of its ever-​changing glory… who knows what will be next.
The point amidst my evolutional theory is this particular store deserves kudos for the lovely people hired to work the LJ branch on Fay. One of the most neatly organized video stores I’ve seen and boy do these guys (and girls) know their movies. Seems there hasn’t been one movie to which I’ve inquired that the staff is unable to offer opinion or a better alternative. It’s quite impressive really… like a live episode of Siskel & Ebert (when they were in their 20’s i imagine).
Customer service is muy importante in my world… so sad it seems to be losing significance at a rapid rate. Thus, it’s incredibly refreshing to feel appreciated as a patron and the employees at this store go above and beyond. Three stars for the staff… less two for the misleading «no late-​fee» policy which is actually $ 1.25.
