I knew someone who worked at Family Video; part time.
The DEMANDS on Minimum WAGE Employees were;
R I D I C U L O U S ! ! !
I CHOOSE to NEVER Patronize that Video Rental establishment,
AGAIN !
I am curious, what could they possibly demand at a video store that you think is ridiculous? You know. Things like showing up on time. Not playing on your phone on the job. Being mildly pleasant with customers. Tough RIDICULOUS stuff! Phuck you Family Video! Redbox all the way! Where they treat their EMPLOYEES RIGHT! |

I don't think how much money a person makes has anything too do with demands.....(policy) every place has policies.

JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS ; Aye?  Dress CODE; Females; Black Flats (shoes,) Black slacks, White button down shirts, dark socks, 100% Knowledge of Every Video in Stock; ON The employees own time. (the colors might be incorrect, this was within the 2nd. - 3rd. yr. of opening in Streator)
Males; the same attire. Each employee Was / Is expected to learn each video in the store.... on their; " Own TIME." Each employee WAS / Is expected to CLOCK OUT, though there was a lot of WORK remaining at the end of the night before closing. Employees Were / Are expected to make a Sales Quota of; Candy, snacks, and Lottery Ticket SALES.
THIS Company; Exploits their employees who are; mostly High School / College aged Students, Some to add to their Family Income. A Minimum Wage Paying; JOB...... Cynicism comes to mind

I asked two people that work there. None of what you say is or was true . There is also nothing wrong with a dress code. Most all places of employment have them or uniforms. And why can't you type in a normal fashion instead of all of this kind of stuff that is annoying as hell.

I see nothing wrong with black slacks, a white blouse, and black flats. Those are basics. Who doesn't even already own that?
Most jobs require that you complete your assigned tasks before your shift is over.
And why wouldn't an employee be expected to know their product?
These policies seem consistent with most thriving businesses.
Minimum wage jobs should demand as good a work ethic as a high paying job.

And it takes alot of freaking time. lololol (editted to say that.) |

Netflix is going to kill video rental places. Think BLOCKBUSTERS..... We can both watch good films on our tv or kindle tablets.
All for just $7.99/mo.

We don't rent as many movies as we used to anymore either . Watch a lot of netflix. I think they still have good business there though. Every time I drive by I always cars in the parking lot.

We also watch UTUBE on the blu-ray. Has most of our DVD pix, plus old tv quiz show like "What's My Line?". Most of all, we have "discovered" pix that were made long before we were born on TCM. Now that is a great channel! Plus! No commercials! Thank You, Ted Turner.!
