i wish i had invented redbox





there's been a red box located in our harmon's neighborhood grocery store for about 2 years. every time i walk into or out of the store, there is a person at the machine and about 3 people standing behind them, waiting their turn.

now they have installed red boxes in front of two of the maverick stores we frequent, and i don't think there's ever, EVER been a time that i've pulled up where somebody is not using that blasted contraption, and others are waiting in the wings. whoever owns red box is laughing all the way to the bank.

Don't you hate that? I was going to start a candle business in AZ kind of like Salt City when we moved here, but someone in my ward was two steps ahead of me. They are now millionaires. Me = :(

I'm with ya sista! I did a post on the fabulous redbox a few months ago! It pisses me off that I don't come up with these brilliant ideas! I want to dress like the character in your picture!

I have never used the Redbox, but you are so right! There are a ton of them, and there are always people at them. Damn other people's success!

The first time I saw a red box I thought, "what a dumb idea. It'll never last."

Kind of feel stupid now.

If I had a NICKEL for everytime I thought this SAME thought, I would be able to dress like Patrick too. No worries though! We still have a chance to invent the NEXT best jackpot!
