Please Redbox Responsibly

We love the redbox. It's so great and cheap and easy. Unless you're behind someone who didn't get on the internet first to reserve the movie(s) she wanted. Maybe she has a promo code. Even so, everything would run much more smoothly if she would look online before hand and write down a few movies she wants to see instead of slowly browsing through all of them at the kiosk (and if it's a Friday or Saturday night, they're not going to have any new releases so she shouldn't tell her kid he can get the new mario movie, because most likely, he can't.) This will save everyone a lot of time and heartache. Also, she should know, that she doesn't have to do a separate transaction for each movie, unless, again, she has 2 or more promo codes. But someone should also tell her that those promo codes you get online rarely work and if she wants to go down the list trying all of them, maybe she should do so on a day or at a time when there aren't 5 people in line behind her standing in the cold snow waiting to either pick up their reserved redbox or return one, which takes about 20 seconds.

Screw red box! I hate that thing-not because of the idea (i like it atcually) but in a college town you must wait atleast 30m in the freezing weather. We got netflix which we LOVE!!!! you should do the free two week trial and see how you like it. LOVES
