So I go to the video shop tonight to get a movie and they say no way - you got $91 overdue fees owing! So I'm like yea, the guy who got those out returned them didn't he? Yes but 4 days late for 3 overnight movies. But didn't he pay when he dropped them off? No sir - he put them in the chute. So to get this movie out is gonna cost me like $100? Yes sir, how would you like to pay for that?
What do you guys reckon? How ordinary is that when you let someone borrow movies on your account?
I was so dumbstruck I didn't even think to change the password (we don't have membership cards or anything, just your address and a password).

That used to happen to me with Blockbuster.. the one near my house would close 15 minutes early all the time and then charge you a late fee because you dropped it in the chute. Blockbuster changed their policy recently.. but the last time they wanted $27 in late fees because they closed before I got there with the movie. They were locking the door when I pulled up even. I pointed out to them that the sign showed they were open till midnight and it was only 11:43. The guy just laughed and told me "Tough luck" I told them to bite me and stuff their late fees.. they then tried to charge it to my credit card that they keep on file.. but I had called my credit card company and told them not to allow any charges from Blockbuster. Two weeks after this I got a call from Blockbuster corporate saying they were going to sue me for the $27.. I laughed and hung up on them.. That was 3 years ago.. and it will be a cold day in hell before Blockbuster ever sees another dime from me Hollywood video.. netflix.. heck I would rent from even the kid next door to me before I step into a Blockbuster again

HOLY CRAP MAN!!!!
4 days for 3 movies IS NOT 100$$$ worth of late fines, thats bullcrap.
maybe what 5 bucks a day per movie so 15 bucks a day x 4 at the most
60$ ... screw them 100$ and get that other dude who rented em to give you the money ontop of that.

How it works here is you just keep paying the normal fees until the're returned. I guess there must be a limit but I don't know what that is. So these 3 movies for a 4 extra days = 12 nights hire. About $7.50 per night for new releases. Sounds about right. (Don't forget these are aussie $.)But you'd like to think they'd gimme a break, specially as they knew it wasn't me - they even remembered the "guys" who hired them. How would they remember that? They probably made a--holes of themselves too!
No wonder ther's such a big market for pirates..... bloody $90.

About as bad as these guys I guess... thats probably why they wanted to use my account. It's just disappointing people can be so irresponsible.How bad does your credit have to be for a video store to deny you from renting a DVD??? LOL

The new policies at Blockbuster are a helluva great break for a procrastinator like me. According to the records that the local Roger's Video I USED to rent from up until a month ago, over the span of 4 or 5 years that I rented from them, I have in excess of more than $3500 in late fees that I've paid to them. Trust me, $5.25 for about a month is something I would much rather have despite the fact that there's a chance that something I'm looking to rent might not be available for the longest time.
93SOHC: 1400 DVDs!!!! ....Sir, it doesn't count if you own/work AT a Blockbuster. Seriously though.... REALLY?!?! Where do you find the room to keep it all? I own a shelf rack that's about 6.5 ft tall and 2.25 ft wide which holds about 400 DVDs or so. Do you have an entire wall of your living room littered with DVDs?? The only way I can think of compressing my storage space is to put all my movies into slim CD jewel cases and using those instead of the regular DVD cases. Jeebus
