Looking back on it, what was the purpose of this psyop? Just let the customer who rents it next rewind the video and then you don’t have to print these stupid stickers anymore.
Looking back on it, what was the purpose of this psyop...
you are one of the bad ones
Hold on babe, let me just rewind this tape, before we can get to Blockbuster & Chill
I guess you also think there was nothing wrong with plugging in the HDMI-cable.
If she couldn’t wait for you to rewind the movie, she wasn’t the one.
then you don’t have to print these stupid stickers anymore.
did you read the small print?
if this label is broken, then you must purchase this video.
It must be some kind of anti-piracy measure like the breakable tabs
It's the same thing as returning the shopping cart to the pen after you're finished shopping, there's no incentive to do it other than being a decent person and not a sack of shit.
It’s not the same thing. With shopping carts there is automatically a wagie who is expected to return the shopping cart to its original destination.
That's also the wagie at the counter that has to rewind it.
No Tyrone, just because a bike isn't locked up doesn't mean it isn't stealing if you take it
You dont have to rewind just like you dont have to be a good person
Oh so another example of wagies wanting customers to do their job for them? Fuck that
if you didn't have a race car rewinder you were poor white trash
Just let the customer who rents it next rewind the video
Rewinding creates a ton of wear on your machine.
that's why they sold pic related
he didn't have the race car one
naw
I had a VCR that slowed the rewind instead of just coming to a jarring stop. Didn't really help.
Right before Blockbuster made the switch to DVDs completely, my VHS player ate a Blockbuster VHS tape. I took the whole thing to the store and was like "now what?" And the dude who worked there was a total bro who said something like "I'm sorry one of our tapes damaged your VHS player" and then there was this form I filled out, and a few days later I got a call saying that my new player had arrived, along with a free rental. I went to the store and they handed me a VHS/DVD combo player! I rented Saving Private Ryan on DVD and that was the first DVD I ever saw. But the BEST part was that I could record anything from the DVD player to the VHS player. Some of you might be too young to remember this, but when DVDs started coming out, you could go to thrift stores and buy Richard Simmons workout tapes for like $0.50 for 10 tapes, or even buy blank VHS tapes for real cheap at Circuit City. Every time I rented a DVD from Blockbuster I made sure to make a VHS version. At my parent's house I have virtually every movie ever worth watching on tape...I just need to get my hands on a VHS player that works.
Post skin color
common decency. coloureds wouldn't understand
Only good movie Jack Black ever starred in.
Exactly. Everyone has to rewind at least once. When you first rent the movie, you have the greatest motivation to rewind.
your parents already threw them all out and you only had actual dogshit like spielberg slop and forest gump anyway.
this made boomers shit and piss themselves with laughter
so you want people to have to wait before watching a movie when you could just hit a button when finished and do some other task while its rewinding. after the movie it requires no active time from you, you're life isn't being delayed because some nigger was discourteous
Ideally the wagie would rewind it at no extra charge because that’s his job.
Out of curiosity OP how do you feel about cats and dogs
off topic post
Clean it up, janny
Nah man I have the best shit. I even have an entire shelf of just MTV and Howard Stern when he was on E! I even have the entire episode of Lindsay Lohan from "Upick Live" when she was wearing the pink shirt (that's considered lost footage btw, but I remember recording it).

QRD?
I rewind my dvds
rewind
why didn't boomers just design them so that they play in a loop?
if this label is broken, then you must purchase this video
why
VHS player
Nobody called them that. They were referred to as either:
VCR
Or
Tape player/machine/deck
So Blockbuster can make money
This is actually valid. The doomers in the advice board on this site beat themselves up way too much over a girl that was genuinely not a good person to OP.
Yes you're right! Dude WTF? How did that just leave my brain? Aw man. Thanks anon, now you depressed me. You're absolutely right....why in my memory can I imagine the guy at Blockbuster calling it that? "VCR" is probably something I haven't heard in over 20 years. Damn dude. Now I'm sad.
Although I don't recall anyone ever calling it a "deck."
NTA but as I remember "deck" was more of a word for audio cassettes rather than video tapes.
Facebook still exists in 2025. Boomers are fucking cavemen.
Cassettes and floppy disks had a floppy protection tab that set whether you could copy the data to other storage media. The label was to prevent people from messing with the copy protection.
So they would rent the movie, copy it, then return it? I guess that makes sense. More convenient than buying the movie, doing the same thing then reselling it.
Blockbuster would charge you a fee if you made the wagie rewind.
Sweetheart, I have a dedicated tape rewinder that's shaped like a Corvette, it will only take a minute
Omg that's so practical and fun, let's fuck
shut up fatso
Rewinding creates a ton of wear on your machine.
fuckin what?
Also I had to stop a cart from almost hitting a guy's car, it was really windy and the cart started moving on its own. This is why the cart holder is important not just for helping wagie
WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY YOU SHIT HEAD
AT LEAST WE USED TO
it's a tamper-evident seal dipshit, read the bottom text. the rewind thing is just a silly bit they added to the empty space
They wouldn't do shit
