No we didn’t. Blockbuster was the soulless corporation that killed all the smaller stores, which were actually good. Fuck Blockbuster.

The only ads in the store I remember where card board signs similar to what you see at the theater. That's not at all the same as 1 or more 30 second unskippable add.

there were also these TVs in the store. sometimes we'd get to watch movies, sometimes they'd have these ads on them. one summer i was working 3 or 4 jobs i can't remember (it was a summer) and one of them was blockbuster.
