On Labor Day, we have stories about whether retailer strategies to get people shopping will work and word that Redbox has rented its one millionth video.

• Parentheses — The BlowBuy

• Know Now Then — Ani DiFrancoBuy

• Dive Bomb — The Whips

• Woman Driving, Man Sleeping — EelsBuy

• Looking Good — The Hard to Get
