I'm surprised that only one other person uses the $1-a-day grocery store kiosks (e.g., Redbox).

I've never heard of those. I rent through Netflix. I'm not that picky about movies and for me, I prefer just dropping them in the mailbox rather than driving back to a store with them. It doesn't work out any cheaper for me, because of how slow I am to watch and return them, but I rent enough to "break even" with going to a brick and mortar store, and don't have to worry about crazy late fees (I didn't mind when they were just late fees, but when Blockbuster started that nonsense of charging you for the DVD and then you have to get the charges reversed when you return it, I walked away never to return).
