NetFlix laying the smack down on Blockbuster
Times aren't faring well for my former employer, as Blockbuster Video Entertainment is apparently getting killed by NetFlix, both in online membership and the fact that NetFlix has no debt, while Big Blue evidently owes a billion.
I knew that "no late fee" policy would be huge, sink or swim. Gosh, I used to work there when rentals were $4 for new releases and good for 2 days, 3 nights, and we still sold - GASP! - laserdiscs and had the free rentals for community service videos like "What's Happening to Me? - A Guide to Puberty" and "Winning Bridge with Omar Sharif".
My behavior these days is to only rent new releases in real life, and get everything else from NetFlix.

That puberty video sounds like a video that Troy McClure from the Simpson's would narrate! "Hi, I'm Troy McClure, you might remember me from such videos as "What's Wrong With Me? A Guide to Puberty."
You can get Netflix in Guam too? Cool!
