So maybe they've heard the SM say I've been in this place for almost 30 years. I personally just think it was a dumb ass fucking thing to point out. Who the hell cares?

I do. That's why I asked. I wasn't pointing anything out; I was asking a question about a point of fact that confused me.

Thanks to the people who had thoughts on how it was possible.

My last day at Blockbuster, we closed the doors early and had a party in the backroom. I scheduled my favorite CSRs and a friend that was a SL. We ended up closing about 2 hours early and got a little tipsy in the back room. Lots of fun!

I say open all the pickles and put the juices all over the blue book.

I knew a SL who skrink wrapped all the keyboards, staplers, tapes dispensers, phones, etc on his last day.

Another one turned all the movies on the wall upside down on his final shift.

My dream was always a bit more grandiose: sneak in after close and move absolutely every single product up to the roof.

Shrink wrapping things would be awesome. that way, no permanent damage, so they can't pull anything afterward and say you damaged things. too funny.

How about slipping a few sardines in the back of the computer towers? lol

While I understand all of your desires to "go out in flames", I must assure you that Blockbuster DOES NOT condone these actions in ANY way.
If you plan on terminating your employment with Blockbuster, please feel free to use the company's "WORD HOTLINE" at your convenience.

Worked with the company for 30 years? I am going to go with "made too much money." That's the real reason they go after seasoned vets in this place. Any other reason they give is just pure bullshit and don't pretend it isn't. I've heard of high paying SMs getting fired over something as small as opening a Coke before they paid for it. It's all bullshit. It's just a way so they can save money.
