God! the ignorance is so pungent in this thread it sickens me! Let me ask you something, does every stupid Canadian want something for nothing? Is that the purpose in your life to live day to day with the belief that companies like Blockbuster OWE YOU SOMETHING? They charge you 1.25...yeah one dollar and 25 cents. even if you keep the movie 29 days 23 hours and 59 minutes! Got a round figure as to what that would cost you in late fees at ANY OTHER STORE ON THE MARKET? cmon what's the ballpark? Blockbuster has every right in the world to charge you wining, irresponsible ass for late fees! you are keeping a product that they could still be making money on! can they make money on it while your sitting there on your lazy ass after watching the movie 5 times just for the hell of it because you think your some Blockbuster ANARCHIST!!!!???? no they cant so essentially what do we call it when someone unrightfully takes something from us that is not theirs? Here in the states we like to call that stealing! You are stealing from Blockbuster! when you keep the movies past the due date. There is no small print! I assure you that if have walked into a blockbuster lately you will have been explained to the NO MORE LATE FEES POLICY! Every new member has to sign a agreement also explaining the new policy. So your not getting something for nothing, your getting it for a buck-twenty-five. Congratulations!
Yeah, you know what....it DOES say no late fees. wow! it must have taken some inspiration to come up with that one. IT IS NOT A LATE FEE!!!! It is a RESTOCKING FEE! because you know what, someone at Blockbuster has to Print Inserts, Make a dummy box, make room on the shelf for a movie that your irresponsible ass didnt bring back for a month because you want something for nothing! It sickens me to think that there are actually people out there like you that cant understand what blockbuster did for the customers. Blockbuster was hit with a stupid class-action lawsuit basically because irresponsible members of society...not unlike yourself didnt want to pay their late fees well, for bringing in their movie late. See, every day that you keep that movie out past the due date that's another $5 or so that blockbuster could make on their product and YOU, the scum, are taking that away from them. SO....henceforth you were charged for in a sense unrightfully, stealing from them. Now, in order to keep their customers, even the scum, again like yourself, Blockbuster decided to settle. This is a common misconception, see Blockbuster had every right in the world to charge late fees according to the Judge, but they settled anyway. Now they offer this astounding deal and because they want to charge you $1.25 for keeping the movie for a week past the due date, you wanna gripe. You my friend are the empitomy of what's wrong with the world today, i suggest you rethink your position.
You know your claim is downright ridiculous. Tell me of a better deal than keeping a new release for 30 days and only being charged 1.25!!!! cmon tell me. I would absolutely LOVE to know. I would like to see a decline in the idiots like you who want something for nothing and think that for some reason unknown to intelligent civilization, the government or these franchises OWE YOU SOMETHING! You see, the only businesses that make profit in this world are those that are in it for the money! That is why Blockbuster owns 42% of the market share and your little mom and pop store that has a measely 200 movies...you know what i will give you the benefit of the doubt and say 2,000. Now, Basic math tells us that Blockbuster's whopping 30,000 movies is on a totally different level and your town movie store doesnt even remotely touch that! So, will you ever see a decline in Blockbuster especially after it buys Hollywood Video? no! you wont because Blockbuster offers too much and makes too much money to go down. After a takeover of Hollywood Video it will earn over 70% of the market share so you might as well get used to it.
