Blockbuster Video, “Every time you come here, it’s always a pain in the ass.”

Got the fark out of Dodge a bit today. Went down to Miami to the Lincoln Road Mall and had some Cuban food. It was a bit hot for the mall and of course the traffic was a pain in the ass, but all in all it was a pleasant experience. On the way back my daughter wanted to stop and get something from Blockbuster Video (or as I like to call it Ballbuster Video). Now it had to be something she really wanted, because she knows just how much I hate the freekin’ place. I’m a big advocate of Netflix for renting movies. You select what you want and they mail them to you. Easy as pie. But unfortunately Netflix doesn’t have video games. So we cruse over to the Ballbuster Video (while all the time I’m mumbling under my breath how much I hate the place) and she gets the playstation game. Of course when we get home it doesn’t work. The little twirp who had the game the last time had taken a razor blade to it or something and hacked it up. So we head back into the car (while all the time I’m mumbling underneath my breath how much I hate the place) and get back to Ballbuster. The place is a freeking madhouse. It’s Saturday night and every gay couple and single without a date in Fort Lauderdale (And let me tell you there are a lot of single hetrosexuals in FtLaud. Hell, 99 and 44/100 % of the population wouldn’t even stand next to the opposite sex in this one horse town) is renting movies. After waiting in line for 10 minutes the idiot behind the counter tells me he’s credited my Ballbuster account. I tell him I don’t come there often enough to use the credit, I want my credit card reimbursed. He, of course doesn’t know how to do this. I have to stand in another line and get the dough back on my credit card. Not to mention they don’t have another one of the playstation games that she wants to rent available. So then we jump into the car to the next Ballbuster Video three miles up the street to rent another one. The moral of the story: “Avoid Ballbuster Video at all costs, and always use your Netflix account.
