That video was definitely retired by the time I worked at Blockbuster. Not that I can remember much of the training by now, but that one is especially dull. The one I can remember? The one about not talking about how much you make with your coworkers.

I got paid my minimum wage to watch a lot of these videos when I was hired at Blockbuster in highschool, I don’t recall this one, but after about 3 hours of videos I don’t know that I was really paying attention.

Love how they did a whole section on material safety data sheets just so employees would know how not to abuse the liquid paper.
