"mom n pop?" What are you talking about. Blockbuster, for some strange reason, killed off the mom and pops video stores. Then, Walmart came along selling DVDs for $5 or less. I never understood why people chose to pay $4 for the same rental available at the "mom and pop" store for $1. People have finally come down to their senses and realizing that rentals should not cost more than $1. So, I guess we have RedBox to thanks for that. Netflix has been my favorite for the last few years. I keep on going back and forth with Blockbuster Online. But, their service is proving to be a disappointment time after time.
