As far as engineering their hands into your wallet, I hate to burst your bubble but many companies do that, probably in ways you don't even realize. Seems strange to hold a grudge against Blockbuster for that. You must've been suckered into buying a lot of starburst with your movie rentals.

i get it and you are both right ... however, i support companies that earn my money by providing value and customer experience. clearly BB missed out on that and while no they did not go out of business because they made me stand in the candy line, it was a by product of them focussing their "hands in my wallet" strategies in the wrong place.
