life after life after late fees
After a recent trip to Blockbuster to rent a movie or two (Chicago and A Walk to Remember in case the nonexistent reader should care) I was reading the receipt in the car and noticed something quite scam-ish. Blockbuster claims to "Life After Late Fees" but upon closer inspection I discovered that it actually says:
"There is no additional rental charge if a member keeps a rental item up to 7 days beyond the pre-paid rental period. After 7 days beyond the due date, Blockbuster will automatically convert the rental to a purchase on the 8th day and will charge the member the selling price for the item in effect at the time of the rental, minus the rental fee paid. Member then has 30 days to return the product and receive a credit for the selling price charged, less a $1.25 restocking fee."
which in effect actually means that if you don't return it within a week they charge you a "restocking fee" i.e. a late fee...
so much for life after late fees.
To the grocery store!
