The “Subway Guy’ of Blockbuster
Posted by Alli on August 30, 2007
I walked to Blockbuster last evening and again this morning. Both times to return movies.
Over the last few months we have gotten to know the store manager, who is tickled to see Fuller and gets a kick out of the fact that I walk most of the times we visit the store. I told him that round trip it is about 2.5 miles. (I started varying my route to make it about 3 miles.) Last night he asked me again, “So do you really walk here every time you come?”
I told him not every time, but I try to walk most of the time. Even the day before (Tuesday) I drove there because it was in line with a bunch of my errands. But I figure, maybe I am like the Subway Guy for Blockbuster- I trade the time I watch movies for the amount of time I walk. Well, not minute for minute, but still it has been a lot of walking. The store manager laughed, but as I walked home I realized I missed an opportunity to explain to him how I also like to be as car free as possible and if I can walk, I prefer to. Next time.
I am really thankful that the weather has cooled down so when I want to walk in the mornings, around the time Blockbuster is open, it isn’t as awful temperature wise.

That’s funny. It would be more clear though (for me anyway =), if you said “Jared, the Subway Guy”. I like it — maybe they’ll put you in commercials and you’ll get famous.
