Genius BB employee...

Blockbuster truly employs the cream of the crop.

I don't get it. No, I understand that some idiot thinks stabbing himself is a viable alternative to calling in sick, but I don't get the point you were trying to make. I'd say it's "Kawliga thinks Blockbuster is a shitty place to work," but wouldn't you have said that instead of 'Blockbuster employs the cream of the crop"? From your own post you seem to make the point that BBV hires mental defectives. True, because you used to work there, too, but is your point that ONLY Blockbuster hires mental defectives? If so, may I have a moment of your time to direct you to other places that also employ mental defectives: fast food, retail, sales.

Oh, so you say, those are all low class, low paying jobs, and only untrained, blitering idiots can be such... well, idiots.

Howzabout postal workers? Obviously disgruntled employees who shoot not themselves but others are certifiably sane people, right? One could even make this argument:

So, again, what's your point? That Blockbuster sucks? Yeah, yeah, yeah, the ol' broken record. Are you going to get around to posting something insightful, useful, or actually containing a shred of thought and not an unglorified FARK link?

Theres two faces to this story.

-one face is where everyone sees blockbuster has a place cover peoples shifts.

-second face is where blockbuster employees see why this person went to great lengths just to get out of his shift because its sometimes so freaking hard to get it cover.


in the end this guy made a poor decision.

Angry?...no...that has never been my gripe with this company. My problem with BB has always been that they are constantly following the competition...never leading. Therefore failing.
In layman's terms, just watch "deathbydanny's" posts. He never initiates a post of substance, he only posts a 4 paragraph response/tirade whenever someone says anything negative about BB. He NEVER has initiated a post of a "good idea" that BB has done...all he does is try to defame the posters that speak ill of BB, or at his best, spew a few "live in your mom's basement" jokes to make all the newbies on this site chuckle a little. Just another sad follower...not a leader.

Do you realize that there isn't one person on this board who "INITIATES" "great things" that BB is doing?! Doesn't that seem odd? Why are all the topics an ANY board on this site negative of BB? Strange isn't it?...Why aren't there any topics titled "Thank you B for doing X" or "This is an awesome idea that BB started". ..The reason that you don't see them is because there are none.

Yes, yes "danny" I realize that this is one of those "4 paragraph" rants that I spoke about earlier...but seriously..

BB may be able to make it in the digital age but their days for "brick-n-mortar" are over...that is what I've said from the beginning (look it up)...and I was doubted.
Deathbydanny and (to a lesser extent) Zooworker, HAVE to be either shills for the company sent to this site to "put out the negativity fires" or at least the dumbest posters on here for believing that anyone who speaks bad about BB has NO VALID POINT whatsoever.

(Angry?...no..."Just a little pissed?"...well..yea...but that's just me.)

Case in point: Chris owns this site and speaks ill of BB. Have I ever defended the company to him? Nope, because he has a valid point. I think the issue is more with the employees in question than the company as a whole, but that's neither here nor there. In the end the employees ARE the public face of BBV, and yes, them being fucktards indeed makes BB the fucktarded company in their eyes. And for the record, I in fact did list the good ideas BBV had (since you're big on sending people to look at old posts, feel free to look at mine.)

Being serious for a second, dropping all pretense of flaming you because you're stupid or whatever, I believe Blockbuster is on life support. You can still be viable on life support, and to show a little bias on my part, I happen to work in a district where the stores ARE doing well. Not a single store save one in a 50 mile radius here is getting closed. And yes, we would know far in advance, as it takes months to properly close a store.

My point is, I defend my job to the extent that I like it. I'd be defending Hollywood Video had I happened to be working there because, rather than have to sit in an office, or a cubicle, or whathaveyou, I actually get paid a living wage to essentially talk about and watch movies. I'd think I'd be just as gleeful to be, hell, a video game programmer who gets paid to play and discuss games all day, or why not, a porn star who has a shameful occupation but still comes home at night with some gorgeous women under his belt. Do you not enjoy your job? I don't find mine too hard, nor too retardedly easy. I don't find it too demanding or anything. I have said it before-- BBV is a sinking ship, but while it's still sailing, I'm enjoying the seas.
