	+ ------ + ''2009-10-22 01:09:04'' [[nbsp]] I worked at the downtown location a few years back. All ya'll customers need to realize some things before you start ragging on us employees. First of all, the pay sucks, and none of us ever got a raise. Instead they kept hiring kids and each of us got less hours to work. My store manager was a total bitch and took out all her problems on us. On the other hand my assist. manager was the coolest person EVER!(Rock on Jose!) Secondly, the computer system is the WORST system I have ever used period. The computers are huge, bulky, OLD as dirt, all the wiring is completely screwed up, and we have to input everything by key commands. To put this into perceptive, I had touch screen computers when I worked at Round Table Pizza! COME ON! I remember for like a week straight our systems were down because damn roof rats chewed through all the wiring. I sat at that damn store until 3am once because of this. Thirdly, some of you customers can seriously be the worst. You think we enjoy our job? You think we enjoy having to reorganize those damn shelves every 5 min. cuz you guys can't take the 2 seconds to put the movie back in the right damn spot?? You think we enjoy having people scream at us over the phone and the counters about how they don't wanna pay the $1 overdue fine cuz they couldn't handle the responsibility of renewing or returning the movie on time?? You think we enjoy customers talking to us like we are 5 year olds because we can't find "Sahib Bibi aur ghulam" because we have NO idea how to even spell that and the customer can't help either? JEEZE. People, be a little bit nicer to minimum wage employees yea!? USUALLY, we are trying our best to just work our 6-8 hour shifts and get the hell home and study for that physics exam the next morning too. And for pete's sake, its just a movie! --["Users/allwalksoflife87"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-07-24 11:08:07'' [[nbsp]] The downtown location's selection isn't amazing- a lot of the time I can't find the older movies I want, but hey, I guess that's expected. I don't like the new layout either...it doesn't make for easy scanning both because of space issues and because movies are always out of order! But I do like the employees there- they may not always be chipper, but a lot of the time they chat it up with you and they always say "have a great night" or a similar variant of that. --["Users/Kiran"]

Blockbuster fires people without hesitation if a report even half as serious as this is made. So stop being pathetic and find something better to do with your time. --["Users/Jerrica"] - - - You are just sticking up for him because you have been romantically linked to Joe, he made no secret of this. And if I remember correctly, there are specific rules against this. I did quit, I admit this; but when Joe filed the paperwork he, by his own admission, marked me as "fired, ineligible for re-hire". So regardless of if the employees know I quit, in the eyes of Blockbuster I was fired for "that letter you [sic] wrote" (Joe referring to the 2 page hand written letter outlining Joe's discretions to the District Manager). - You just need to stop defending your former boss whom you gave hand-jobs to (his admission to me and an unknown amount of co-workers) and maybe should take your own advice and "stop being pathetic and find something better to do with your time" besides defending your former 'fuck buddy'. --["Users/BrandonMinow"] - - -I've been watching this from the outside for quite some time now, and I'm not sure how much of any of this is true. However, if what ["Users/BrandonMinow"] just said was in any way false (including his "fck buddy" comment), then I believe it counts as ["Libel" libel], and if this is the case, then Mr. Minnow could end up being the one slapped with a lawsuit. Oh, and before he jumps in with his "I said 'fck buddy' in quotes" defense, he should know that technically, he didn't use quotes. He used misplaced apostrophe's, and regardless of how he used them, they were used with malicious intent. - - - Wow, you just made this worth my time, Brandon. First off, Marcus was my boss. Second and most importantly, anybody that knows me...or has been around me for 30 min....would laugh in your face at what you've written. I've never...let me repeat, never even SAID the "F" word, let alone actually been a "F" buddy (that's quite classy of you, by the way). Thank you to the previous commenter who pointed out that Brandon's mouth can get him in trouble as it has before. Brandon, I'm sorry that you are so upset about losing your amazing job at blockbuster. It must be especially upsetting since Joe has been investigated by Blockbuster and proven to be in the right...oh and guess what, he's even been promoted. But, you have a chance to keep whatever dignity you have left by...well, let's just say it bluntly: shutting up. -

It's just very small, and their selection of many genres is practically nonexistent. I suppose it's better than nothing, but those who want a good selection might be much happier using Netflix. Also, I found that the rental prices at this store were significantly higher than other stores that I've rented from over the past several years, although I should note that those stores were not Blockbusters, so I don't know if their prices are in line with typical Blockbuster prices. --["Users/IDoNotExist"]

I learned a lot about life when, as a young man, the first Blockbuster opened in Chico. The rental price was twice that of the local stores, but everyone started going to Blockbuster. In the past, the stores did have unusual items for rent, good "Classics" sections, etc. This was at the beginning of the DVD revolution. Now the selection seems less good.

You can likely rent more than just 3 movies a month and it will more than make up for the initial $4.32 cost over Blockbuster. Obviously, they charge for the convienence, but with some forethought, you won't have to deal with this bullshit. --["Users/JohnNapier"] + --Yes, the prices are very high. I learned a lot about life when, as a young man, the first Blockbuster opened in Chico. The rental price was twice that of the local stores, but everyone started going to Blockbuster. In the past, the stores did have unusual items for rent, good "Classics" sections, etc. This was at the beginning of the DVD revolution. Now the selection seems less good. It keeps trudging along, though, allegedly because of its ability to secure umpteen copies of every blockbuster Hollywood film.--["Users/MisterProfessor"]

Never mind the difficulty in getting there on time to exchange a blockbuster online rental which would of been very nice to have exchanged right then and there.

I would call asking if they have a title, they first make me spell it for them 3 times, then they repeat it to me (Correctly) three time, and then spend a minute looking up the title on the computer just for them to say "Nope, we don't have it".

As soon as I walked in the store I was greeted by an employee who then helped me find the list of movies I was looking for. It seems their current crop of college-kids are actually on the ball. I did make the mistake of going on an ulta-busy Friday night, but it must have been under two minutes before I was at the register and out the door. The employee who rang me up did need my credit card information, but kindly explained that they update every three months to keep things current. She also explained that it helped prevent charges from having to go through the collection agency (which I appreciate). I was suprised to find out that they had done away with the late fees that can accumulate very quickly at other stores. Instead, you have a seven-day grace period on your rental before the movie charges to you. Even after that, you have a chance to return the movie and have the money refunded. In total it was something like thirty seven days you get to keep it for only the rental price plus the restocking fee. Sounds good to me! --["Users/BusinessCritic"]

From the downtown blockbuster, I rented movies several times. Recently, they charged me for a movie that I returned long ago. When I asked for help in resolving the matter, they weren't even that helpful. They simply said, "our record shows that you didn't return." BUT I swear to God (with all due respect) that I don't have the movie. It just really upset me that I had to pay 25 dollars for a movie that I DON'T even have, and this is not even the first time that this had happened. What upset me even more is that the employee there or even the manager does not try to help me the problem. I hope nothing like this ever happen to other people...because it is really upsetting to be accused of something you didn't even do. --["CarlieYang"]

I've never had a bad experience at the North Davis one, and I've been living about 200 yards from it for the past 4 years. The employees have always been both friendly and helpful. I also started doing the online service, and I love it. $17.99/month for 3 movies out at a time, like NetFlix, but you can take those mailed DVDs back to the Blockbuster store to exchange for any rental, for free. Basically, it nixes the turnaround time. I do agree that Blockbuster's regular rental prices are too high, and that their in-store selection is mediocre. With the online service, though, it's not an issue. --["TomGarberson"]

I've walked in, spent 2 minutes picking out a movie, and then another 40 waiting in line, arguing with the clerk (I try and use the coupons/blockbuster rewards to save money) and then finally renting the movie. It's awful. I hate this place and am going to write the manager to tell them how awful it is. --["AmyGoogenspa"]

I rented 3 videos last week (1 New, 2 Reg) and the total came out to $13.67, before tax. That's a pretty shitty deal, considering I only bothered watching each movie once. Contrast that with Netflix's $17.99 for their 3-movies-at once plan, with "unlimited" rental time. You can likely rent more than just 3 movies a month and it will more than make up for the initial $4.32 cost over Blockbuster. Obviously, they charge for the convienence, but with some forethought, you won't have to deal with this bullshit. --["JohnNapier"]
