I'm sure some of these will come to the surprise of no one, I mostly linked this because the descriptions from this guy are hilarious. Plus what he says about BB vs Netflix is interesting and probably true.

7. ?Theft is bad?


Like many other corporate chains (Target and Wal-mart come to mind), Blockbuster must appear to despise shoplifting in all its shapes and forms, whilst doing pretty much nothing to stop it.


If you stuff eighteen DVDs, a Grand Theft Auto strategy guide, and a box of Red Vines into a backpack and walk out, congratulations ? you?ve just committed the perfect crime. Even if the metal detector by the door goes off on your way out, you?re fine. Even if the security camera catches your face, you?re fine. Even if DVDs are literally poking out of your dungarees at the feet and waist, and even if every step you make is punctuated by the loud, repeated clapping of plastic case against plastic case, and even if an employee personally comes up to you and asks to see all the items you are carrying, once you leave the store you?ll still spend the rest of your arrest-free night watching your stolen copy of Red Dawn.

On my first day, my store manager asked me what my favorite movie was. After responding, ?Blade Runner? and watching her nod in faux-understanding, I asked her what her favorite movie was. She replied, ?Rumor Has It.?
In retrospect, I should have quit right there.
When I later asked her why she hadn?t seen any movies of historical or artistic significance, she used these exact words:
?Gas station attendants don?t need to know how to work an oilrig, do they??
No, but they do need to know the goddamned difference between unleaded and diesel. Jesus.

Every person I have ever known that EVER worked in retail, of any kind, comes away with a very similar attitude about the industry as this guy has about BB.
