If you grew up in the '90s, I'm sure you
remember Blockbuster Video.
It's where everyone went to rent movies.
And instead of saying, "We're going to Netflix and chill,"
we would say "Blockbuster?
I hardly know her."
But now there's only one Blockbuster left in the world.
It's in Bend, Oregon.
And I decided to send my writer Adam there
to play a cashier named Kevin.
We set up hidden cameras, and here's what happened.
(SINGING) Kevin, the Cashier.
Played by Adam.
Hi, welcome to Blockbuster.
Is there a return?
Have a good day.
You too.
I don't remember how to do it.
What's up?
Yeah, I just have to check if it's rewound.
Rewound?
Yeah.
What are you doing?
What's that?
What are you doing?
Yeah, it's like, you know, our old model,
like, be kind, please rewind.
A lot of people forget to do it with the DVDs.
I had no--
I still don't know what you're doing.
Just rewinding it.
So that's set.
It's at the beginning for when the next people watch it.
And then yeah, I'll just put it in the drop box over here then.
All right, great.
Thank you.
Yep, thank you.
How are you doing?
Good.
How are you doing?
Good.
What's your last name?
McPheeters.
M-C- capital P-H- double E- T-E-R-S.
All right, it says "senior discount,"
and it's blinking like you won.
Right, right.
I'm also a veteran.
I don't think there's any discount for that.
There's a discount for being old,
but not for fighting for our country.
[PHONE RINGS]
Hello, last Blockbuster.
What's that?
Here, Rod, can you talk to this guy while I ring this up?
Hold the line?
Just see what the guy wants I can't understand him.
Oh, OK.
Excuse me.
We don't have an adult section.
Pardon?
We don't have an adult section.
You looked like you were looking for the old saloon doors.
No.
No?
All right, sorry.
I would like to take this out, and I would
like you to clean it for me.
OK.
[SPRAYING]
You'd think they'd have some-- no, no, no.
Not-- Sir?
Yeah.
You have to clean the, um--
I'll clean the whole thing.
You just-- you open it up, and you clean the disc.
Yeah, but-- yeah, but I mean, why not clean the outside too?
You don't want to--
OK.
--you know.
That's very nice of you.
Thank you.
Of course.
Do you see that?
I'm not sure that that's the spray you use on the disc.
I think it is.
It says it's glass cleaner.
OK.
Oh, wait, this is for the movie "Glass."
I'll see if we have "Midnight in Paris" cleaner.
No, no, no, no.
I guess I'll set this here.
You don't have to clean the inside of that.
Well, if I don't clean--
No, that's just fine.
If I don't clean the inside, then it
will get dirty once I put that back in.
So I'll clean this first.
I'll clean this part first.
And then I'll clean the DVD--
OK.
--then put the DVD back inside the clean box.
And then I'll finish ringing you up.
It's actually the other side that's important.
What's that?
Well, I'll clean both sides, in case
you decide to play the front side too.
Thank you for being so thorough.
Oh, you're welcome.
You look like you're in a hurry.
I just know what I'm looking for.
You know what you're looking for?
The Way We Were?
Should be drama.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
I didn't see it there.
Do you know if you even have it?
What is it?
The Way We Were.
The Way We Were?
Let me see.
Robert Redford.
Let me look.
Sometimes they keep him in other sections.
Sometimes people mix up the drama and the action movies.
You OK?
Yeah, I'm good.
I'm just looking-- The Way We Were, right?
Yeah.
It looks like we have it to buy, but not to rent.
Oh, OK.
Well, we already have it.
Wait, you already have it?
Well--
And you wanted to rent it?
Yeah.
Explain that.
We're from Washington.
Explain that to me.
Well, we're from Washington.
Uh-huh.
That doesn't explain anything.
My wife wants to watch it.
She wants to watch it while you're here.
Yes.
I see.
And you didn't bring it with you?
No.
Oh, OK.
Correctomundo.
I'm sorry I couldn't help you.
That's all right.
You did.
Thank you.
Yeah, can you help me pick these up?
[PHONE RINGS]
You got those, right?
Sir?
No, I have a big surprise for you.
Look what I found.
I put aside a copy for you.
That's what you're looking for, right?
Yeah, where did you find it?
Sometimes I hide copies under my shirt--
movies that people want.
OK.
I'll just do you over here.
Do you ever watch The Ellen DeGeneres Show?
No.
All right, bye.
Thank you, Adam.
And thank you to the last Blockbuster.
We'll be right back.
