Eh, the video is actually pretty solid basic sales technical. You need to know your product, listen to your customer, understand their needs, and find creative solutions with your products. It’s just retail without good commission is just not worth the effort. This girl doesn’t seem to know her products and wasn’t really paying attention to customer’s issue.

@@fanzhang5568 No she was going her job as expected but the video wanted her to be pushy. Blockbuster like most other failed companies pushed for aggressive sales tactics from their employees but didn't pay them for it. It's impossible to know every actor or every crew member to every movie. This video suggests if you learn such information then you could push more content. Now it is a good idea to have some knowledge but better to have a reference to fall back on. Personally I felt this girl was doing a great job but the boss kept finding more and more issues with what she was doing. Hell most my memories from Blockbuster was their limited selection, ridiculous prices, pushy sales tactics and employees who hated their job.

spiro revelis Alright, Mr. High-and-Mighty, I am glad you haven’t had to work a minimum wage job, otherwise you’d be bitching about it like the rest of us average folk. As a Baby Boomer, you are probably unaware, but there is this thing called inflation that effects the prices of everything we need to buy in order to live. Things that would’ve been say 1.05 back in the 70-90’s are now close to 3.50 today. This means that making scrapes wouldn’t cover all of today’s cost of living. Yes, there are a portion of young people of my generation and the one before me that don’t have a work ethic, but for the most part every young person I know gets up to bust there ass at a 9-5 rat race job just to save enough money in order to further their education and skills to land themselves a better job. However, Someone has to clean the toilets and rooms at the hotels you stay at, or flip those fast food burgers everyone likes so much, and someone has to work the register at the store you buy groceries from. We are always going to need people to the grunt work that people who are “made of better stuff” such as yourself, don’t want to do. Those people deserve just as much respect as anyone else. People like us, that work hard at what we do, deserve to be able to buy the basic necessities and take care of our families. Is that honestly too damn much to ask for? I get it, you’ve never work these kinds of jobs so you obviously don’t know what it’s like. If you really are better at things and have worked hard for your success that’s great! However the more likely scenario is that you came from a wealthy family, had your college paid for by your parents, and now work a high paying career. Which is fine, as long as you aren’t an asshole about it. Get the fuck of your high horse and take a good look at our reality. You didn’t even have to say you’ve never work a minimum wage job, your inconsiderate and just plain cruel opinion of those you deem lesser has spoken volumes for you.

For most of my life we had three major video rental stores in my hometown, Block Buster, Hollywood Video and Hastings. At one point when I was pretty young I remember one or both of my parents having an account with all three of them. We honestly used Hastings way more than the other two but sometimes the other two might have a better selection at that time. In my town Hollywood Video was the first one to bite the dust, they went when I was around 16ish in 2004, Blockbuster was next and held out until around 2008 or 2009 before they sank and Hastings held out until just a couple of years ago. We truly lost something from this era, it was a family affair for us to make a night of going and spending an hour at Hastings looking at stuff to rent, it may have been less convenient than the Netflix and Hulu we have today, but it was one of those little experience's you take for granted because you think naively it'll always be that way but one day...It'll change. I will always be thankful to have the memories of those evenings with my family.

I miss the 90s. Growing up in the 80s must have been great too.

amazingabby25 You have to realize that the VHS player dictates the quality of the playback. The quality of the VHS tape. It's physical quality also will drive the quality of the presentation. Magnetic tape media degrades fast and doesn't like to lay on top of itself. As technology changed I change with it as was about to transfer my VHS to hard drives. My converted video collection is perfect without any pop, clicks, or distortion from bad tracking. The only difference is the aspect ratio is smaller than by today's standards. VHS wasn't bad at the time. I know for a fact that most people didn't know how to archive and increase the VHS shelf life. In the end I used my VHS for computer backups before we hard terabyte HDD's. There was software on OSX that allowed you use magnetic tape for backup. I got into the game and worked on what later became known as secure digital memory storage, aka SD cards.

I saw all this stuff from the start and helped to create a few compression schemes. My point is that there's always people who are ahead of the curve and then it becomes mainstream. The real meat of information is not publicly known. That's why you have to learn how to do things yourself, ask questions, and don't fit in because it's what's expected of you. HACK THE PLANET!

Rest in peace video stores. Back in 1990 I went to the video store wearing ugg boots that I forgot to change. I felt embarrassed to be wearing them while choosing a GI Joe, wrestling or Police Acedemy movie. Little did I know of the wacky clothes I would wear in the future.

Nobody actually did that. We hated it when people asked us what to rent. We'd just tell the customer whatever they had in their hand was good because it got them out of the store more quickly and we weren't allowed to badmouth any of the movies we carried anyway. It was a terrible job with terrible pay but not as bad as working at a fast-food restaurant.

This is so 80s even though its 1990, culturally it's still the same as the years 1988 and 1989 but a watered down version. Things don't just magically dissappear once a new decade hits. The 80s did not end as soon as 1990 hit!!! it spilled through just like how the late 90s spilled through to the early 2000s.
