Blockbuster employees are putting in extra hours at the company's Dallas headquarters. What's unusual is that instead of overtime pay they're spending their lunch hours trying to get packages out to United Service Organization (USO) centers, where they'll be distributed to U.S. servicemen.
Although Blockbuster has a long standing policy of sending movies and games to U.S. military personnel, this year seems to be busier than most. Blockbuster employee Larcine Bland said "This is the first year we've had a packing party. We've been shipping them out all week. In an effort to ensure we get them there as close to the holidays as we can, we've asked for volunteers to help us." She added, "We had a great response from employees that wanted to come and help."
Each shipment includes an assortment of genres: comedies and dramas, new releases including 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End' and 'The Bourne Ultimatum', as well as holiday classics like 'It's a Wonderful Life'.
