Unhappy
I'm sorry, I know that this is about redeeming coupons/inventory. So my concerns are a distraction. But today on the local SF Bay area TV news, they say that 6,000 employees will go, nationwide, 200 stores closing of the remaining 488 (per various sources), eleven stores closing in the Bay Area. This is to be "...by April".

But today I received an email from the CEO (rather long to transcribe, and I can't copy and paste it) saying that everything will be status quo at the surviving stores.

Outside sources put it in the same boat as Blockbuster.
