I tried explaining what a video store was to my daughter. She can’t fathom not being able to just stream something.

@WanderlustCat Something that the youngsters of today would never fully comprehend.

@WanderlustCat It was kind of funny how blockbuster put most other video places out of business but then the same thing happened to them.
Jenny76 · 46-50, F
@WanderlustCat It is such a foreign concept to them

One of my first jobs was at a Blockbuster Video store.

One of the perks of the job was that at shifts end, I would get to rent videos for free.
Sidewinder · 36-40, M
@chasingMonday Then some years later, after Blockbuster went "belly-up," that store in my hometown eventually became a Salvation Army Thrift Store.

It was from that very store, that I would buy movies on videocassette from for a dollar each (50 cents, if they were having a sale) and build up my own personal video collection, so in a sense, it's like coming around full-circle.

@Sidewinder that's cool :)
Sidewinder · 36-40, M
@SpectralMourning 🤔... I'm not too sure about that, as it was only a part-time job I was doing in my later High School years.
SpectralMourning · 41-45, M
It was fun times working there through the years I was going to college.
chasingMonday · 41-45, MNew
@SpectralMourning I'm jealous, I always wanted to work there
StarLily · 51-55, F

Sidewinder · 36-40, M
@YoMomma Family Matters Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy are among my favorite shows of the 1990's, along with Home Improvement, The X-Files, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Rescue 911 and Unsolved Mysteries.

My kids loved blockbuster when young
Poppies · 61-69, F
I found mine too, about a week ago! I cut it up and threw it out. We need to become ruthless about the junk!
HoeBag · 46-50, F
We owed our local blockbuster like $60 in late fees but they went under before we ever paid.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
Never had one -- we boycotted Blockbuster because of their right-wing hiring policies.
Thatsright · 61-69, M
@ChipmunkErnie politics ruin everything
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@Thatsright Not sure if it was politics or not -- no x-rated videos, no earrings allowed on male workers, no more than one earring per ear allowed on female workers, etc. Indian woman working there had to remove her nose piercing or be fired, etc.
Lol, wow. Definitely a blast from the past.

Were you kind and did you rewind?
