       @lowqualityfacts The catch was that to qualify for a free rental, you had to rewind 10 videos. Naturally, this made them highly uncompetitive with the likes of netflix, who sold DVDs that could rewind dozens of times faster than old cassettes.

       @lowqualityfacts Blockbuster used to be my Friday night ritual, leave work, go to Blockbuster, pick a movie, maybe two & call for a takeaway while on the bus homeIf I timed it right I'd be ready just as the food arrived

       @lowqualityfacts I miss the video store in general. The 90s were a simpler time.

       @lowqualityfacts I heard Netflix beat them by "renting & refusing to return every single copy of Green Lantern ad infinitum"

       @lowqualityfacts This one actually sounds plausible.

       @lowqualityfacts Oh, I got to work for Blockbuster at the end. I sorted valuables out for corporate and crappies for employees to take home. I did my best to do a poor job and confuse the directives...you're welcome.

       @lowqualityfacts - That wasn't a thing, you were just robbing your local BlockBuster. No judgement! I did the same thing with Chi-Chi's "Take A Taco Off A Plate In The Back Kitchen Wednesday's" ... which, in fairness, I should have known wasn't a thing based on the name alone.

       @lowqualityfacts One of the first casualties of the "we'll make it up in volume" capitalist theory
