Blockbuster Bankruptcy: Shares collapse, will they go bankrupt?

Blockbuster is going under. I work for them currently and i can tell you from the bottom of my heart I think that they should. Not that all those people that work for blockbuster should go with out jobs, but this is a company that cares for no one. Netflix has more movies than we do and it costs 5 dollars to rent a movie at blockbuster the same price it costs to rent one on demand. With the switch to all digital blockbuster is done. And they know it. We try to sell anything to anyone. The rewards program is stupid and no one should get it. They have made me lie to so many customers over and over again about the rewards program. But if i don’t lie i do not get hours. They keep telling us that it will only be 10 dollars for one more week then next week it goes back up to 20. I have said that so many times. And it never goes back up. Our new dollar a day late fee is stupid. We went from no late fees to a dollar a day just like red box. We are basically told not to help anyone. I mean really we are told not to help you if you have a problem. If you come in and your movie didn’t work and we don’t have another one and you ask for your money back it counts against us as a credit. Every time someone comes in with a problem we are already reluctant to help because if you make us do anything that requires us to give you money back for anything we will are told to try any and every way to not help you. I have told people many times there was nothing i can do for them when it was blockbusters fault the whole time. I have to tell them this so that I will get hours the next week. I have to sell rewards, movie passes, and confection all the time just so i can get hours for the next week. And they keep track off all of that. If you get the wrong movie and come back and ask to get your money back we will probably either say “NO” or ask to just give you store credit. If i have to give you your money back it looks REALLY bad on me. Its a big business so i know they are not supposed to care but they really, really don’t care. It is not a good company to work for or to be a consumer for. I have not gotten a raise in more than a year and i am in fear for no hours every week of my employment.

Then quit dumbass!!!

Blockbuster is just too big. Maybe, they should convert those big ass buildings into something useful like soap kitchens for the homeless or indoor shooting ranges/gun stores.

You big whiney crybaby, you deserve to not have any hours. Why don't you go over to facebook and bash the customers some more? You 20-somethings are nothing but a bunch of entitled brats. If you lose your jobs, you have only yourselves to blame!

blood!!!!

blood!!!!

I absolutely hope they do go bankrupt. My local blockbuster has recently started trying to charge late fees even when films aren't late! So you rent at pretty expensive prices then get screwed over again by the debt collectors – all for a measly £5. And if they can't track you down it ends up on your credit record!

Thank you for your insight. Your well written presentation is appreciated. Keep up the good work.
