I used to work there. Once, a lady came in and wanted to open an account. I gave her the form and told her we needed an ID. She made a huge scene, started screaming and told me that I was "a racialist cracker" and the cops had to be called to remove her.

Because I needed her ID.

Oh, it was always a hassle to make an account. We needed two forms of ID, which would send people into an instant bitchfest. The staggering number of people who claimed they didn't have a drivers license, but drove to blockbuster anyway was alarming.

My favorite part is the casual racism.

Yea, 2006/ 2007 me didn't cater to people's delicate sensibilities. How times have changed.

As most of you are aware I am currently employed at BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO. There are some parts of the job that are pretty good: I work with alot of cool people, FREE RENTALS! and discounts, A chance to force my superior film taste upon others. It’s really not that hard of a job.The biggest drawback of the job is this:I HAVE TO SERVE THE GENERAL PUBLIC! Probably the fattest, most ungrateful, disgusting, and just dumb group of people to ever walk the earth. The American General Public. Especially kids! Abortion should not only be legal, it should be ENFORCED! Sure, you have a few cool customers that rock, but overall most of the customers I want to punch in the face.

A harsh, but accurate portrait of the American consumer.

Racism is bad, fuckwit

It would be an overreaction to call anything in the blog posts racist. Crawl back to your safe space.
