Showtime is a great store. Rentals for four dollars, full snack selection and a wonderful staff. This is a local store that those few extra steps are worth it. read more

Showtime Video & Variety - the outside of the store - Videos & Video Game Rental Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I really love going into Showtime Video. The owners/workers are very welcoming and the place has a nice feel. I know, it's just a corner store, but nonetheless I have a pleasant time during my regular pop-ins. Showtime has become my movie center of choice. Sure it's no Video Difference which is just around the bend, but for $4 (tax in) you can rent a new or old release. I appreciate not having to spend a full fiver on a DVD, because really once you're over the five dollar mark, it might as well be ten bucks if you ask me. Recently, I was baking banana bread and didn't want to go to the grocery store, so what did I do? I went to Showtime and lo and behold, they had brown sugar and a few other ingredients that I required. Support this family run business and swing by Showtime for a DVD or a candy bar. But make sure your rental is back by 7pm the next day or face the $4 penalty. And for you folks out there who are pornographically inclined, I've heard tell of an adult section... but don't tell your mother. read more

I really like the lady who works in Showtime. She has served me every time I've been in the store (which is usually every Monday evening). I have a long standing Gentleman's Club that I attend every Monday night at my friends house and on the way I am sure to stop in here to pick up some snacks. The lady behind the counter is always very friendly and the experience is enjoyable. There is nothing particularly special or glamorous about the store and I don't think I'd ever rent a movie from there because Video Difference is closer, but if you live in the neighborhood or are taking a walk up Windsor and are a little hungry, stop in and grab a quick sugar rush. And if it's Monday night around 9:45 be sure to say hello to me! read more

Indian lady behind the desk has poor customer service. My UPS package was delivered here with a notice to pickup from this location. I had planned on purchasing snacks as well but with her service I declined everything Essentially she said her name was katnip (something like that). She refused to look for the package even though I presented her with email waybill of delivery and my photo ID. She said she does not allow pickup till following day even though this package held perishables. I ended up calling UPS which said to keep trying because it's there and she's not supposed to do that. So I did. She said she was too busy and there were over 50 packages delivered that day by the driver. Finally since I would not take no for an answer she escorted me to the back to see the packages. There was only about 10 there. And easily identified the one in styrofoam which said perishable and to refrigerate on delivery. There wasn't even another customer in the store. I must say I did not buy anything else but thought she needed to learn better customer service. Very unfortunate because it is a convenient pickup location that is open late. read more

I was there to pick up an UPS package. The woman who served me was awfully rude without no reason, she seems to be kind of crazy. She don't know about manners. Hey lady three advices I will give you: 1. You are offering a service, not doing a favour 2. Try to develop better customer service, being nice is easy, and learn basic Canadian manners is easy as well. 3. Clean that place! The place is completely dirty and rundown. Not recommended at all. I just wonder how a store like this survives and has clients at all. read more

I had to go here to pick up a UPS package and the Indian lady was the least friendly person I've ever had to interact with. I walked in and went up to the counter with a smile and said I had a package to pick up and held out my package slip. She did not smile or greet me at all and all she said was "hm mhm...." and took the slip slowly after I held it there for a long time. She went and got it and while lifting it she smashed it down on the chair and didn't even apologize. When I got home the item of course was damaged and broken which I assume was from her poor handling. When I was signing my name I tried to make conversation and made a joke and she didn't laugh or say anything! Nothing. Then all she said was "That's it." when I finished signing. Terrible customer service. read more
