this isn't exactly true: visart has always gotten a fair (say, 20-30%)
share of patrons who come there because "you're just so much better than
blockbuster". and i also noticed a fair amount of people coming in because
one of their friends had told them how much better visart was than
blockbuster, and left vowing never to go back.
of course, visart is run virtually identically to any big corporate chain,
so it's not really a good example. it's a pretty horrible place to work.
knee-jerk reactionism is never a very good policy, in my opinion.
