Blockbuster Bullshit

Okay, I need rant a bit. See, the Blockbuster video stores in my hometown of Odessa, TX do the newer thing of allowing new releases to be due not the next day at midnight, but the day after that at 6pm. Awesome. But the Blockbusters here in El Paso do not. Why is that?

And as you may have seen on TV they are now advertising the No Late Fees commercials. This means that you can keep you movie or game an extra day or two and not worry about those pesky late fees. But not El Paso's Blockbusters! Why?? I don't like having to run out at ten till midnight to turn in a damn movie when I could pass out on the couch after watching it.

Why don't these Blockbusters here participate? My theory is that there is some old dude with some corny vision of what Blockbuster used to stand for and he's not going to grow with society's new-fangled ideas of no more late fees and refuses to participate out of spite cuz his older brother, whom is the favored relative that can never disappoint, is the one who came up with the new vision for the company, so this old dude displaces his anger and resentment and sticks it to all the good people of El Paso. Well this is bullshit. Blockbuster is a nation wide store and they should all be the same. The same I tells you!
