This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The first time was fun because I had a good manager and Netflix was still seen by them as the upstart and not a real competitor.

A couple of years later and things at a different location under a coke head manager made for a very different experience.

Fencing stolen goods between our store and a GameStop that was run by a former district manager of Blockbuster, plus her husband was a cop.
