End of an Era!

So I'm an entertainment junkie!! I love movies and television! I'm a longtime fan of renting movies from Blockbuster Video or Hollywood Video, etc. Due to economic times and technology, those days are long gone! With business closings and bankruptcies, customer service reps and face to face interaction is going to be missed in my life. I returned some movies today probably for the last time to a Blockbuster store that will be closing next week. It was one of the few left standing.

Am I alone in wishing that Blockbusters were still around? Am I the only one who doesn't mind interacting with the customer service reps? I am a leader of the digital age and I love streaming but sometimes I miss the customer service (face to face) approach. So now I move back to NetFlix and wait for movies in the mail.

  1. We still have 2 standing and I'm always asking if they're closing. I will miss just going in and looking because I don't usually know what I want, I just know I want a movie and I like browsing. So yes, I will miss the stores. They do have boxes out at some service stations just like Redbox, I just haven't used one yet.
