(Please forgive me for taking up your valuable time, but I feel that my comrades in Lego should know what can go on at a large (overly-large perhaps) and ubiquitous retailer.) Blockbuster claims that I failed to return a DVD. They are in error. That's bad, but it happens. They are rude and inefficient, which is as avoidable as it is inexcusable. I encourage you to get your videos from somewhere else than Blockbuster. I'll happily go across town to a good store. If my complaint inspires you to cut up your Blockbuster card in front of an especially clueless clerk, please let me know. If you want to tell this particular store that you heard that they are circus clowns but not funny like circus clowns, their number is 206 522 0397. (Don't bother asking for the manager, he may not even exist.) You can call Kristi at 206 568 2100. She's a middle level manager of some sort. You can also call 206 748 0800 and leave a message at their district office. It would be swell if you could take a moment to pass this along to your video renting friends. Let's not encourage the corporate entity that has created this slackerly and cynical environment.

(...) Although, I only rented from a blockbuster once(1) in my life, I can sympathize with your distrust of this corporate entity. Maybe a better boycott would be because of that egotistical hamster and his bunny friend carl and their antics that (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Bad form to respond to self but: Blockbuster issue resolved by Higher Power. No, the manager wasn't hit by a bus (although that would be altogether acceptable), my girlfriend paid the store a visit. There were no problems after that. I expect that (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
