Late fees return at some Blockbusters
By Marc • Dec 20th, 2005 • Category: the RanterLITTLE ROCK — Blockbuster (BBI) stores in several states are quietly resuming late fees for customers who keep movies too long, rejecting the video-rental chain’s national advertising of “No Late Fees!” because they can no longer keep popular movies on their shelves.
Many Arkansas stores resumed charging late fees Nov. 21 and charges will apply again soon at some stores in Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. The Arkansas attorney general’s office has heard complaints that the fees were restarted without any notice.
Never again. Now that I have Netflix, I don’t see any reason why I should ever pay late fees again….
