Gigantic Video

Gigantic Video was in my old stomping ground when I lived in the south end. I primarily went here to rent movies, although they do have the staples you need if it is late.
The staff here is varied, some good, some not.
I did not buy much here and the rentals not over the top. But will do in a pinch or if you do not want to walk up to Quinpool Rd.

I don’t really ask a lot from my convenience stores, and typically I don’t get a lot in return. A grunt from the minimum wage worker when I quip «Have a good one» or a little nod when I ask for free matches. Gigantic Video delivers this kind of mediocre customer service, there are no pleasantries exchanged during a purchase, which can be nice if you’re in a hurry, but frustrating when you’re in a chipper mood.
The video (or rather DVD) collection is decent, old titles don’t stay around very long, especially the more obscure ones. The chips however do stay around for awhile, with dusty bags as evidence. Gigantic Video really only performs well at the convenience part of it’s role because there isn’t exactly quality promised. Other than a bottle of mix, your favorite tobacco product or some slightly stale snacks, this little convenience store has very little to offer.
Hot Hint: They are open late every night, and even later on the weekends, so it’s a reliable stop on the way home from downtown.
