Just that I so happened to be renting movies at that time they put the transaction on a single receit. How hard is it get through your thick skulls that one has nothing to do with the other? The guy was being a total douche, end of story. I don't know whether he had balls or he was a total obnoxious suburb teen idiot, but I am thinking the latter.

This reminds me of a story:

A wanted murderer went to policestation to report a stolen car.

Murderer: Hi, Id like to report a stolen car.
Police: Ok, but youre wanted for murder so we will have to arrest you.
Murderer: Im not here because of that, so you cant.
Police: Oh yea thats right! Sorry about that...

True story, at least according to the OP...

lol I was thinking something along those lines as well

 

[biggestmuff]

Good grief. You owed them money. Pay it. If you allowed a dweeb to hassle you, what's that say about you?

Self Pwnage of the year late entry?

brief-cliffs: Self-pwnage

verbose-cliffs:
He stupidly paid Blockbuster an non-interest-accruing payment of $5 for a future movie purchase whilst renting movies as well, so co-receipted to his account

Mommy rents some gay porn and forgot to return it on time accruing a $6 late fee.

He goes to get his movie and gets into a ego-tripping power war with the cashier. Likely truth of the matter is cashier wisely was going to apply his prepayment to the late fee and OP got his knickers in a twist.

It's no wonder the rental industry is going under, people like that just add to the fire. I went to blockbuster today to buy Batman (they had it on special for cheap and I got an even better deal prior to that with putting a deposit down for it months ago).

This crazy ugly mother fucker at the counter tells me I have 6 dollars in previous restocking fee's, and add's it on top of my purchuse of Batman. First off it's not me who had the restocking fee's, it was my mom because she is linked to my account. Second I am not renting anything, I am making a retail purchuse of a movie, that has nothing to do with my fee's on my account, you don't even need an account to make a purchuse, anyone can walk in and buy it.

So anyways, I tell the guy, that's my moms fee and she will pay it when she rents a movie next time, becuase I don't rent movies since the last couple of years. I also tell him it has nothing to do with me buying Batman, it's a retail purchuse, you can't con people into putting down deposits for the movie and then demand fee's on top of it. This guy is still being a total ass telling me I have to pay, finally I am like "I would like to use my pay it next time I am here pass", so he looks at me and tells me he is going to put a warning on my account saying if I don't pay it next time I can't do anything. I said fine, I don't do anything anyways but purchuse a retail movie from time to time, so it doesn't matter, and if my mom chooses to rent here again (she won't, Ill make sure of that given the guys attitude today), she will pay it.

I am going to send in a letter of complaint against him saying he hassles customers and unrightfully tries to con them fees on retail purchuses which is against the law. I never do stuff like this, but today was the wrong day to piss me off, especially by some ugly teenage fucker that shouldn't give a shit.

Man this guy was ugly, picture a huge head, barely balancing itself...that's him.

/waits for the usuall ATOT flamers to flame me (because I'm wrong and crazy right?) haha you fools

So heres this poor kid with a large head making minimum wages just trying to do his job dealing with idiots all day and you're giving him a hard time.When you got home did you complain to your mommy about her not paying her late fees?

All I'm hearing is "blah blah blah I'm too poor to pay the 6 fucking dollars I owe blockbuster but apparently I have enough money to buy Batman"

1/10

The one point was for the amusement that reading everyone's angry responses provided, so you don't even really deserve it.

So, let me get this straight: you owe a company money, then get pissed when they try to get it from you while you're at their store? The fact that your mom returned a movie late means absolutely nothing - it's on your account and you're responsible (or, in this case, irresponsible) for it.

Yep, sounds like the real dweeb is the OP. The guy at the store was correct.

I disagree. If he was renting a movie, then I'd see the point. He was buying a retail item, and the only reason they knew he had a balance was because he paid a deposit for the Dark Knight(which is linked to his account).

He should only have to pay the balance the next time he rents a movie IMO.

he owes the company money, according to the account info. why should he go in and spend money for the movie but not pay for the other fees that he owes? i don't care that it's his mom's account. how can your account be tied to your mom's account? or do you mean that your name is on your mom's account as a valid renter?

seems fair to me.

I wish I had not clicked this thread. If he had fondled you it would have been worth a read.

 

[MrChad]

How old is the OP again?

 

[Gibson486]

So...what was this special you got at BlockBuster? I have never seen Blockbuster be cheaper than anyone else....infact, you are the first person I have heard of actually buying stuff from BB.

Because when you are a whiney lil fuck you must create drama so you seem important.



Loser.

 

[nakedfrog]

You picked the WRONG day to screw with me, buddy! I'm going to send a VERY harshly worded letter to the editor!

 

[TheVrolok]

Your account (whatever this 'tied' BS is) owed Blockbuster money, Blockbuster wanted you to pay up since you were in store. I don't see the problem here. You are subject to their TOS, not whatever you want yours to be. I don't see why you think it is crazy to be asked to pay a fee that your account is responsible for.

There is no emoticon to properly convey how much of an idiot you just made yourself look like. However, I will try my best with what I got.

:Q:camera::gift::laugh:

 

[DVad3r]

17.99, everywhere else it was 19.99, they had a promotion going for the cheap deal, thus why I made the deposit. Gotta love the flamers here, it's almost like you want to make people annoyed just to see what happens. You guys would make a good bunch of lawyers, seriously, if you weren't half idiots Taking the world by storm from behind your computer screens, doing justice where there is need, dark cyber knights, Mmmm, too much Batman

 

[Genx87]

I think the moral of the story is dont do business with Blockbuster. What possible reason would anybody

A. Rent from that dump?
B. Put a deposit on a retail movie from that dump?

Amazon shipped my BluRay version of the movie for 22 bucks. And I use Netflix for rentals or streaming.
