After work yesterday I went over to my local grocery store to return 2 dvds at the red box kiosk. I was hoping for this to be a quick process even though we know that sometimes redbox can take for ever. When I got there, there was a man probably in his 40's trying to dispense his dvd selection. I thought to my self, " Ok, this shouldn't take long, I can wait it out." Just as I said that, the man stats to teeter back and forth and started mumbling profanity at the box. I immediately knew he was clearly intoxicated due to over whelming stench of hard liquor in the air.
By now 5 minutes have gone by and I am still waiting behind this guy. It was too funny and frustrating at the same time because he had to keep restarting the whole procedure and kept mumbling " I don't know my f*cking email." I wanted to help him out so much but yet wanted this drunk guy to keep getting frustrated with the machine.
Eventually after 10-15 min. another redbox enthusiast came to the rescue! I say "enthusiast" because she had 3 dvds in her hand, which probably means she watched all three in a night or it maybe took her a week, I don't know. If you not familiar with Red box its a dollar per night per movie. To me, renting more than you know that you are going to watch in a night is just pointless. Anyways long story short the man received his movies and stumbled on his way out.
At least there's a happy ending to this story. As I was leaving the parking lot I spotted the drunk man going home or the bar, on foot. And just let me say drinking and redboxing do not mix.
