Red Box Etiquette


I might be the last person to discover Red Box, but I love the way it works. Go to any of the MANY locations, walk up pick out a movie, swipe your card for the $1 nightly fee, your email will pop up (if you entered it previously for that card) just confirm you want the receipt sent there, out pops your movie and off you go.

The next day return it at any red box you happen to see... So easy and so cheap...

BUT, there should be a code of Red Box etiquette. Ideally, have some idea of what movie you want. You can see what is available online and can even reserve it! If you don't know do not stand there for 10 minutes when someone is waiting behind you (especially when said person is already short in patience because they had to fight through traffic due to a big concert at Blossom.) If you don't know and someone has been waiting a minute or two, step back, let them go and look at the movies on the board. Don't stand there for 9 minutes (that we timed) and read description after description! We can probably guarantee that if you are a 17 year oldish girl you probably won't like a movie about resistance in the forests of Germany during WWII...

my last visit to a redbox was five minutes, but my record is seven. i count every time...aloud. maybe we can pass some overbearing legislation that outlaws such crude conduct!
we are part of the Greenfield CSA, i hope we can still be friends.

Was there a line when you were done? If not then we have no disagreement. But either way we can stay friends...
