Red Box Etiquette
So after some frustrations with the formerly glorious red box, I’ve compiled a few tips on red box etiquette.
1. Have an idea of what you want before you get to the front of the line. Nothing is more rude than standing there and reading through every description of every movie available when you spent the last 10 minutes in line chatting on your phone instead of looking over the list.
2. Don’t stand so close to me that I can feel your breathe on the back of my neck. That’s weird and you’re all up in my bubble.
3. Don’t impatiently tap your DVD case with your finger. Chances are that I’ll take even more time to find the right movie.
4. Learn how to use a touch screen! Why should it take you 10 minutes to enter your email address? Haven’t you used a keyboard before?
5. Don’t think you can just jump in line because you’re “just returning”. That takes just as long as renting.
6. Don’t ask, “Does this just take credit or can you use a debit card too?”
7. Don’t read the titles over my shoulder.
That’s all I can think of right now. Feel free to add yours if you think of something that bugs you as well.
yeah here’s one-
don’t let your seven year old hold up the line by letting them use the dang thing. they take forever to decide between Enchanted, Spongebob: Pest of the West, or Farm Kids. And they can barely spell, much less type.
you know you can also go to redbox.com and reserve your movie in advance, so you don’t have to worry so much about waiting in line and deciding.
