Video Store Clerk


Jack Black in the movie Be Kind Rewind

A video rental shop/store is a physical retail business that rents home videos such as movies, prerecorded TV shows, video game discs, and other content. Typically, a rental shop conducts business with customers under conditions and terms agreed upon in a rental agreement or contract, which may be implied, explicit, or written. Many video rental stores also sell previously-viewed movies and/or new unopened movies.

One of my first jobs was working at a video store, back when there were still lots of them around. Unfortunately for the video stores (but luckily for consumers), video streaming and video-on-demand services have taken over the market, and there aren't too many video stores left today.


Congratulations pjmpjm

Wow! I'm afraid I thought this interesting contest had folded up! OK . . . well, give me a day or two to come up with a new occupation . . .

[raindrops]

pjmpjm found the answer - thank heavens - in 18 questions which earns 90 WRZ$ and may run the next round.
ams_chick tortured everyone for 75 questions and gets 375 WRZ$.
pjmpjm is invited to start the next round with the subject he sent me...
