Listen Vonage, Garry isn\'t your customer anymore. You need to stop sending him bills and let him go. Sure, he liked you back in 2004, but he found a better company at a cheaper price and he\'s moved on. Billing his AmEx every single month for two years after he canceled? Not cute.
Once the leader in rentals and the place where practically everyone found time to stop after work and pick up a few movies, Blockbuster is now a shadow of its former self. Competitors, suspect management, and evolving industry dynamics have rocked the company, leaving it in a precarious position.
