Busting blocks.

Blockbuster has no late fees. I rented three movies today that were all marked "2-DAY RENTAL." What the fuck does that mean? Why do I care? At checkout, the doofus reminded me of their online service ("our stores don't work, use our Netflix clone") even AFTER I said I didn't want it, and then he said: "Just make sure you get these back by April the fifth." Huh? Today is March 27th! I checked the receipt, and here's what it says:

Rental product kept more than 7 days after the due date is converted to a sale. Sale may be reversed by returning the product within 30 days of the sale date and paying a $1.25 restocking fee. Franchise restocking fees may vary.
I laughed out loud when I read this. War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Late Fees are Restocking Fees. Oh yeah, and if you're late, you fucking buy it!
