Even as a child, I never really understood this concept and I am old enough to remember going to video stores a lot. But you’re rewinding one way or the other. Why does it matter if you’re doing it when you just get the cassette or when you’re done watching it?
If everyone does it, it improves the overall experience of everyone, as you said, at absolutely no additional personal cost, financial or otherwise. You get home from Blockbuster, insert the tape, flop on the couch with the still warm takeout food, and begin your movie night without any friction. At the end, you placed the cassette on rewind and switched to cable to watch something else until you dozed off, or kid’s bedtime came or whatever.
The other experience, you insert the tape, flop on the couch and…wait, the VHS says the videotape is at the end. Ok, then put the VHS into rewind, it was usually slow, then use the rewinder. You have to get up, take the cassette out, put it in the rewinder, wait a few minutes. “Daddy I want to watch the movie now.” “Patience, just wait a minute.” “Honey, the food is getting cold sit down to eat.” “Wait, the rewinder is do…shit, it swallowed the tape again.” Take it out, clear the jam, manually wind the tape, put the tape back in the VHS, it is gentler. Wait some more. Now start the movie. At the end, should you rewind?
It was just one of those things that, are simple, nice and cheap for everyone. Not doing it is just a mild annoyance for others, but it costs you nothing. It was truly a test of morality back then. Good people are those who still do the right thing even if no one is watching.
I guess if those particular scenarios happen in abundance… But in reality they were few and far between.
I don’t know man… It was so benign to me that I don’t even remember if I did it often or not.
Yeah, that’s kind of the point. It was benign, you didn’t have to do it. If you didn’t do it, you wouldn’t hurt anyone. But if you did it, it displays a modicum of kindness towards an invisible fellow that speaks of a considerate moral character.
I wouldn’t say it’s the equivalent but I kind of enjoy this…
Have the day you deserve.
It’s not pleasant if you’re an asshole and a grumpy fuck. And it’s great if you’re a good person…
Seed after torrenting?
Yeah but you have to call your isp to open up ports and all-…
(At least in my country)
Be Kind, Rewind was released in 2008. I 100% was torrenting and seeding back then.
Had no idea it was a movie, was a slogan at video rental places (that were pretty much out of business by 2008) before I was born. Seeding torrents is a p deece analogy for the benefit it provided
Its jack black and mos def iirc. Fuck jack black, pirate the movie.
What’s wrong with Jack Black?
Trumper. Thin skinned ass hole
Maybe about plugging in devices to charge when you’re done with them? Schools use laptops a lot now, but don’t think they’re communal ones on carts anymore.
Put the grocery cart back
It always baffles me that this seems to be hard for many people
i used to work retail, what annoyed me more that the cart stuff was when people just left refrigerated items they didnt want anymore on shelves. is it rly that hard to walk a couple extra seconds to put it back? just spoils food, attracts bugs
just spoils food, attracts bugs
and legally, it cannot be put back it has to be thrown out.
Retail, not restaurant. Think groceries. It’s packaged. It’s fine to put back if it’s still sealed.
Lmao a gallon of milk sitting in sporting goods for unknown amount of time is not going back in the fridge.
Literally not what I’m talking about. Holy fuck think before you idiots type.
Lmao 🤣 you a little burthurt over replies?
Not if it’s been left on an unrefrigerated shelf for an unknown amount of time.
I think this might be locally decided. When I worked retail we always put the food back and pretended nothing was wrong
You should catch a slap for that Bullshit.
You misunderstand. I didn’t mean, “it’s fine to put random crap you find misplaced around the store back in the fridge”. I meant it’s fine for the people who put it on the shelf to instead put it back in the correct refrigerated/frozen section.
OFC you shouldn’t put now unthawed crap back in the freezer… That should be common knowledge. I assumed noone would be dumb enough to take that interpretation, but here we are…
At one of the bigger groceries I’ve been to, the wheels would lock up if you got too far from the store. Well, we’d parked outside that range so the wheels locked up and I had to awkwardly drag the full cart to the car.
Being a good person, I went to drag it back to the return spot. The wheels did not unlock. Dragged it all the way back anyway.
But given this, I can see why someone might just abandon their cart if the wheels are locked.
My Dad tried to argue “it creates jobs”.
He really didn’t want to accept that trolley pushers aren’t given more time to fetch the carts.
All it does is make the job harder.
It doesn’t create any new jobs. It just creates a task the already employed people at the store need to deal with. Walmart claims they have dedicsted cart wranglers, but every store I have worked at just made CAP go out and do it during lulls in other tasks.
Given the economy, it may be “If you see someone stealing food, no you didn’t.”
Do people not rewind their streaming media? No wonder it takes so long to load.
