I kinda want one of these. I could load it up with my collection. It'd be awesome. I can imagine my SO's blood boiling already at the sight of "more useless junk"!
And what do you need an electrician for? Turn off power, open a panel, and disconnect the wires. Snip snip. Frankly, I'm surprised a dedicated switch/breaker for a 3rd party kiosk isn't mandatory.
If only I had the space ...
lol, OSHA compliance. WalMart can't have Cletus from receiving just opening 110 boxes.
You don't need Cletus from receiving to do it. You just need to uh, suggest, to a certain portion of their clientele that a Redbox MIGHT have copper in it and boy it'd be a shame if it were to vanish, and I'm sure nature will take care of the rest.
That's how you get a Redbox smashed into a million pieces all over your parking lot.

Weeeelllllll.... Yeah I guess you have a good point. If something did happen, finger pointing starts.
Gestures at wires
But it's right there! I need a 1-day OSHA permit just to yank crap out!
"Hey, is that ELVIS behind you?!"
*snipsnip*
They only care about ~~shifting blame~~ I mean managing liability
Our wives must know each other. Me recently: it's not useless junk! It's a CD tower NAS with 10 base t token ring capability! The guy who ran a bbs in my local calling area had one that served up Warez in 1997! I was a very early adopter of mp3. I used the original program released by the fraunhoeffer Institute to rip my friend's metallica bootlegs and upload them for extra leech credits. It would take half a day to encode 128kbps mp3 files on my non-mmx cyrix 6x86, and I could only store 1 CD worth of mp3s at a time on my 800mb hard drive. Besides, I got a really good deal on it!
