Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

What good is Blockbuster when streaming exists?

What good is Toys R Us when kids don’t play with toys anymore and I definitely can’t afford to obsessively collect toys like those who came before me?

Jesus - no

RadioShack was a niche tech store with niche tech stuff. No need to wait an absurd amount of time for random stuff online.

I miss video rental stores.

The exploration, the smell of fresh popped popcorn, the excitement.
