I found the (mortar and concrete) Blockbuster a mess. I entered the
store with a list of 18 movies (one movie is Robinson Crusoe 1954,
another TV Twilight Zone), spent 20 minutes, and left empty-handed. I
had to guess what category that Blockbuster decided to put on a DVD,
then look in that section. If a movie is "drama," "comedy," and
"family" where do I look? Why can't video stores just alphabetize all
the titles? Why can't these stores provide a searchable list? I saw
movies "on the new releases" wall that are dated 2004. <rant off> With
Netflix, I found 15 out of the 18 movies I want in less than 5
minutes.
