Cool BBI Top Ten Mistakes

1. Accept checks for unlimited amounts. Once I got one for $800 and of course...it bounced. It only took them 15 years to realize it was a mistake.
2. Not pay Over Time to store managers. In California BBI had to pay back ALL OT with interest for time they stole from SMs.
3. Hire Antioco. Pay him and his cronies over 100 million to run the company into the ground. He's got a ranch... while BBI lost money last five years and adds up in the billions. Need I say more?
4. Just cut labor...to make up for mistakes; after all is a controllable expense. Fuck the customers and fuck the employees.
5. Give a Million Dollars a week. remember that? Those sons of bitches did it all summer.
6. Rent unlimited number of games to VG accounts. Again, it only took about 15 years before they got tired of losing millions.
7. Eliminate late fees. Real bright to give away 25% of your revenue.
8. Keep games live. Out there...hoping that they would not get slashed. Again...time to learn...15 years.
9. Let Hollywood Video take the lead....and Netflix...and Gamefly...and EB Games...and Walmart..get the picture???
10. Lock all dvds and games in easy to steal cases. Slashers paradise!!

I got more....but sooo little time!

Yeah, but multiple days on the rentals didn't hurt just BBI, it hurt the ENTIRE industry. And if you remember correctly, HV actually started down this evil path with their 5-night rentals on EVERYTHING (including hot new releases).

EOLF was strictly a BBI-created boner, which very few have thankfully replicated.

Just like you, the only BBI agent I am is agent provocateur
