The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Bad Robots is a British television prank show that originally aired on E4 from November 2014. Made by Objective Productions, the show centres on a fleet of seemingly defective and even mischievous machines, devices and robots produced by the fictional TezCorp Industries. Unsuspecting members of the public were filmed using these everyday machines, resulting in practical-joke and hidden-camera laughs. The series was created by Nathan Eastwood, directed by Paul Routledge, and written and produced by Ben Spiteri. Motion graphics for the series were created by Compost Creative. A host of comedy talent provided voices for the machines, Michael Gambon, Simon Greenall, Rob Delaney, Terry Mynott, Diane Morgan and Tom Allen. The first episode drew an average audience figure of 338,000. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
