Yea, that's not good...and thanks. My question is how do these criminals do it when it seems every redbox in town has a 24/7 line of people...lol.

I went to one last night and there had to be 10 people waiting. Oh, and it didn't disapoint because at least 1/2 of them were "shoppin" the machine. I wish everyone would reserve online because it's no fun standing there 15min. watching a mom and 3 kids go through the whole inventory 5 times!

Default Redbox ROCKS!

We love Redbox! We use their website, find what is available, reserve the movies we want (that are available), then go right down and pick them up. It is a great deal!

She's the same chick that will wait till all $212 of her groceries are totally rung up and bagged, and then she'll whip out the checkbook, dig for a pen, come up with a tampon, giggle, put it back, finally find the pen, and then proceed to write a check and compete for a prettiest penmanship contest at the same time. Um, hello? There are 14 people behind you, can you wipe some of that 1980's off and get out of our way, please?

At least it's only a buck.

Sometimes while the stuff is being bagged she will do a price check on every other item too.

Yes exactly guys and gals!! Typically she is also a mid 50's aged kindergarden teacher, or a older female Realtor. The ones who wear the super large dangly ear rings, and excessive makeup ( A little Coo Coo for CoCo Puffs). Smells like a mixture of $10 perfumes, and Elmer's Glue. She is a frequent of the "code blue" at the local HEB aka. lost unatended heithen children. Anyway, im sure I have now offended a large population of San Antonio with my steriotyping...lol...I just call it as I see it.

Well, THAT one's not me. NOT mid 50's (yet!! ), never been a kindergarden teacher. Tho I am "older" and female and previously was a Realtor. Dangly earrings? Define "dangly". Excessive makeup? Does Amy Winehouse style eyeliner count? $10 perfumes ~ uhhhhhhh..... does the patchouli oil from the head shop count? Lost unattended heathen children? Well, they're not "lost".



ROFLMAO!!!!!!

Question ~ is Religilous at the local Redbox yet?

Yep, that was me...RedBox has now installed metal "thingies" just above and below the card reader, making it nearly impossible for this to happen again. Of course, you definitely want to look first!
