Late fees return at some Blockbusters

Yeah, I knew this was going to happen. I hope it bites them on the ass HARD.

I can’t explain to you why I loath Blockbuster. I just do. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that over the years, I’ve averaged about $7 per rental when you tack on the late fees. I’ll grant you that that issue is my fault. It still chaps my ass though.

Another reason I detest BB? I was a charter member of their 3-out unlimited program. Essentially, I paid $24 a month to rent any number of movies I chose to. I could have three out at a time, and never pay a dime in fees. Then they “made a mistake” with my bill, and canceled my service. When I went to straighten it out, they told me that since the service had been canceled, I wouldn’t be able to sign up for it again, as they were only offering the 2-out program now. Only people who had maintained their 3-out would get to continue with it.

Seriously, why does ANYONE go to Blockbuster anymore? You can join Netflix for less, and never have to worry about a late fee.
