i wouldn't work there unless there was some sort of extra perk you want, like discounts on stuff.

just wondering, why blockbuster then? the company is not entirely healthy and it doesn't appear to pay that well.

tommyboy81 · 10-20-2008, 06:37 PM

guess ecause it's easier to get some extra money. Let me guess. Christmas Presents?

Its right next to my house, only want to have a part time job for like 2 months on top of my fulltime for extra cash for the holiday season. Free movie rentals.

Yeah, basically use the check from blockbuster (if I get the job) to buy gifts and what not.

you should steal BDs by the truck load, empty them all out on your bed, and roll around in them naked

If not there you can always go to a grocery store and be a bagger or stocker for the holidays. Our place has already started to do it. Kind of early if you ask me.

Never work retail. I worked retail for 4 years before starting office work. You are 100% replaceable in retail.

circuit city pays tv associates starting $10 plus commission and some good discounts.

But after you get a raise or two, they push you out and replace you with lower waged workers.

It's a revolving door. After 8 years of retail I would rather be unemployed and broke than work in that joke of a industry again.
