7-Eleven adds Redbox DVD rental outside the store
Sometimes Blockbuster is a drag. It’s far away, you need a membership to rent a movie, and there’s a moderately long line for check-out. But the Redbox is different. It’s close, easy and cheap.
Though it may look like a soda vending machine from afar, as you get closer you notice that it’s a kiosk from the future that contains some characteristics of a vending machine. The Redbox is located in front of many stores, such as Lucky and PW Market. Recently, the 7-Eleven located near MVHS has added a Redbox DVD rental outside the store. 
To choose the movie, a customer merely needs to touch his or her desired movie on the screen and swipe a debit or credit card on the side. Just like that, the movie pops out of the machine. Redbox rents movies for a dollar per night and if not returned by 9 a.m. the next morning, it charges an extra dollar. This continues on until the twenty-fifth day. At this point, customers can keep the movie but still need to pay the overdue fee of 25 dollars.
"It’s instant and there are so many [Redboxes] that you don’t have to sign up [for it] and it’s really easy," senior Jessica Simmons said.
Though sometimes a movie selection might not be available at the 7-Eleven Redbox there’s an easy solution—just go online and reserve that movie at another local Redbox.
