> It begins every morning, five days a week when the USPS drops off anywhere from 150,000 to 175,000 returned DVDs.

> By afternoon, thousands of DVDs will be sent to subscribers. Employees in their red t-shirts sit at small stations. They work with precise movements – their hands seem to have memorized the routine: grab a DVD, slide into mailer, fold, rip, seal and set aside.

> Next, the envelopes are stamped, then it’s off to the postal sorter. This machine can spit out 17,000 envelopes an hour.

I just joined a few weeks ago. I was thinking about this very thing the other day. They have a retarded amount of postal volume. I wonder what kind of rate they pay for postage. There is a lot of shit that your $15 pays for. Dvds, employee (stuffers), postage, envelopes, warehouse space, website, advertising, etc.

Netflix is now the world’s largest online DVD rental service with over 4 million subscribers.

4 million x $15 = 60,000,000 million…not too bad

shitty job…(most in the movie were not american, so they work for cheap:gotme:
