This week I discovered our local Ingle’s grocery store has a new vending machine – Red Box. This may be one of the coolest ideas ever.
Completely unattended, there’s no annoying teenager who either knows too much or too little about movies. I don’t have a lot of older selection, but Red Box lets me rent new releases for a dollar the week they come out. I keep them for one night, which is all I need anyway. Plus, it’s only a buck!
Be sure and visit the Red Box website first if you intend to try one of these vending units. If you give them your e-mail, they’ll give you a free rental. Or, skip that, and just use this code: BREAKROOM when checking out your movie, and you’ll get it free. Just be sure and check the machine for the return time – it seems to vary from location to location.
