$3.25 to rent a movie, $4.33 for Nintendo, $2.17 late charge per day, $1.25 for candy, $5.41 for membership if no credit card was available. I recall I had to complete a form if I wanted to rent at another location. Good old 90's.

What is to prevent some idiot stealing all of the contents in these boxes?

[@jacksong8131]

They are probably depending on the fact that most people don't do physical media anymore.

and when someone loved the movie they saw for the first time, they kept it

Call it box buster

[@jacksong8131]

As a Blockbuster fan myself, I do not like them using the "Blockbuster" name or logo either. It's a misleading title.

Will get trashed and stolen.
