Everyone rents from Blockbuster. Not everyone has or will notice their "2-Day rental" on NEW movies is a damn rip-off and fraud.
First, when you rent a new release, it's $3.95 for the "2-days". If, for some reason, it's not returned in their "2-day time frame" (I'll get to that next), the customer is charged ANOTHER $3.95. Even if it's 2 hours late!
Not just 2 hours late, meaning you've rented it for 50 hrs.
A 2-day rental should be 48 hours, 2 days, each day being 24 hours long. Simple? Not if you check out Blockbusters "2-day" rental.
I rented a new video, for 2-days. I rented it on a Friday night @ about 9pm. I returned it on Sunday @ around 3pm, which is 6 hours shy of 48 hours.
I had the video only 42 hours which is NOT 2 days. BUT, their (Blockbuster's) 2-day rental, menas to them, the movie must be back the third day by NOON! I had to have that video back by noon on Sunday, not 3pm. But I was thinking "2-DAY RENTAL" 48 frickin' hours!
I was charged an additional $3.95. How many other customers get caught in this little money making fraud?
If only 5000 customers nationwide returned a video late by their rules of a 2-day rental... That's friggin $19,750!!!
How often does this happen a week? Twice maybe? Different people? Now you're looking at $40,000 a week!
THAT'S a rip-off!
