It's like, wtf does this have to do with renting out movies? Basically all the questions are reworded and presented to you in a different order. Really retarded.

The people that make this online app. (Unicro, I believe) also use this same dealie for the Best Buy Online App.

Talk about a waste of time.

seriosly, is there like 1 or 2 questions they go to to see what you checked then consider you based on that? 99% of those are fucking lame. i would make my own checkable option for 99% of those: fucking lame then i would check it and move on. then i would add 1 more question at the end: you should hire me. then i would check: strongly agree. then i would make one more: u r gay. then i would check: strongly agree.

Somebody probably got paid big bucks to come up with that questionnaire .... oh_no:

That's probably one reason why their fucking rentals are 5 bucks a pop now - wasteful well-meaning bullshit like that.

the super duper video next to my house was pretty small but games and movies were $3 for 3 days. new releases were $1.50 for 1-2 days.

now it got changed to hollywood video and while it has bigger selection movies cost $4 for 5 days (no cheaper options) and games cost 6 fucking dollars to rent.

When will these people realize the only people who apply for these jobs are collage students, or people looking for a part time for extra money, and dumbasses who have no ambition period. Who the fuck is going to take a job at blockbuster seriously, :rolleyes: I had to fill out a application like this for my job but it was also a technician job where I have work on millions dollars worth of equipment.
