I was in Bend a few months ago and swung by the last Blockbuster. I rented a movie (and bought a t-shirt), and had to sign up for an account. I received a laminated paper Blockbuster card with an account number scrawled in Sharpie on the back. I wouldn't have guessed that the store was still calling out to these old servers; that's pretty cool.
The movie cost 99 cents to rent, which I thought was surprisingly cheap. The clerks were talking about how people come in to take pictures (no surprise there) and were usually inconsiderate about including the clerks in photos.
It smelled exactly the same in there. It was neat.
- dannyisaphantom 4y agoThat's so cool and sounds like an awesome experience. I keep my Mom's original Blockbuster laminated card in the back of my iPhone case :) Just checked the print date and its from 9/24/04. Great piece of nostalgia.

- tantalor 4y ago> inconsiderate about including the clerks As in, rudely excluded the clerks, or rudely included? Either way makes sense me to me.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 4y agoI would presume rudely including - I can imagine that those clerks have to deal with touristy photos on a daily basis and everyone wants to have the employee captured in their "Blockbuster experience" photo.
- davidw 4y agoI live a few blocks from that place. It's kind of weird all the attention it gets.
- boring_twenties 4y agoMan, this job would be great, if it wasn't for the fucking customers!
- ThePowerOfFuet 4y agoIf all they're doing is taking pictures and leaving, they're not customers.
- tadfisher 4y agoIt is a reference to the film Clerks, which features a video rental store employee who utters this quote.
