There’s a video store in Encino, California called Robovideo which is completely self-service. Members receive a card which they use to access the 24-hour store. Videotapes from the extensive collection pop out of slots. I wonder how many people are using it for the reduced embarrassment of renting those, uh, risque videos (or perhaps that cute movie about the pig, Babe — “It’s for the kids. Really.”) (info from NY Times Sunday Biz)
