Soooo like those annoying videos at the gas station/petrol pumps.
I was at a gas station a few days ago and the videos were all out of sync. It was a horrible cacophony. I was glad I was just running in for a drink and not pumping gas for a few minutes surrounded by that.
Wait, Redbox is still a thing?!
I frequently see them in places where people of lower income shop. I guess because they can't afford a setup for a streaming service or don't know how to do it? I'm not sure. It seems like it would be more expensive.
This was my first reaction to the article as well. The only one around me suddenly vanished a few months ago.
I almost used one when our internet was down for 2 weeks and we only had 3 DVDs lol
TIL Redbox is owned by Chicken Soup for the Soul.
So now you'll not be able to pass them without being shouted at. Great.
Our Redbox kiosks are in high-traffic locations where millions of people frequently shop, such as grocery stores or value retailers.
*Doubt
Praise Jebus! It’s only 10% of of their kiosks.
So now you'll not be able to pass them without being shouted at. Great.
