Dish to close 300 Blockbuster stores, 3,000 jobs may be lost

[Shadowflash]

1. I never am happy about anybody losing their jobs

But this couldn't happen to a more deserving business.

I live in Michigan and four, or so, years ago on a cold, snowy January night, we went into one of their stores here to get a few movies for the weekend. My 5 year old daughter and I had just come from having dinner and swung by on the way home.

After spending about twenty minutes in the store, and having picked out a movie or two, my daughter decided that she needed to use the bathroom, as most small children do after a meal. We went to the bathroom and the sign said not for use by the public, however, as anybody with small children knows, they don't mention they have to use the bathroom until they REALLY have to go.

I pleaded with the staff to let her use the bathroom but they absolutely refused. they expected us to bundle back up, get in the car, go somewhere else for her to use the bathroom and then come back to finish our shopping.

Needless to say. I didn't go back to finish picking out movies, EVER, and I've never been happier to see a chain go out of business.
