(rlaugh) I find that one extremely funny since I was a store manager there. So true.

hehe I've heard customer refer to as that before.
Amazing how some people got so upset over getting a automated phone call cause their movie was 2 days late. But then they complain about the fees for it being late. (blah) is mostly what I hard.

2. Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

i actually like number 2 better then number 1. It sad but I've cheated blockbuster over and over again.

You use a credit card to open an accout, rent a movie, report that card stolen on the day ur movie is due, and no late fee for you... or u can keep the movie.
Oh ya don't give out ur SSN on the form(tell them its illegal for them to ask you it)

 

[REMillers]

We had people say they didn't want to put their SSN on it, fine they didn't get a card lol.
They could either put it on there or show their license which needed to have the other numbering system on it.
Oh and least here if you called to say your card was stolen it didn't help. All that was done was a block was put on your account to keep people from renting it or the account was reassigned. In order for the credit card to be changed we needed a new one or a letter from the credit card service.

There are soooo many other ways of cheating them than those...

Please tell me.... I was up to 500 dollars because i used to live with my ex and we broke up and my dumbass self left all the videos over there and totally forgot about it ....i moved back in with my mom ...well i ended up getting ****** royally in my ass....so i thin ka little credit is due...ya know one free rental at least

 

[noclue119]

I don't mean report your blockbuster card stolen, i mean you credit card. Call the CC company to block all transaction on ur CC.

You can't force someone for their SSN. You can get sued for that. Not even equifax can force someone to give out their SSN. That why they have a way around that to verifiy you idenity.

 

[REMillers]

I know you meant the CC number. Even if someone called we either changed their membership card number or put the account on hold. The Credit Card number was never taken off unless they provided a new one or a letter from the credit card company was rec stating it had been report stolen.

And yes we can't ask for the SSN which is why they needed some other ID form which here in VA can be a driver license number.

Also you do not need to put your credit card number on the account, just provide two forms of ID. If they couldn't provide that then sorry no card, tough it is just a video go elsewhere.

We even had people rent movies and call in later saying their membership card was stolen and they didn't rent them. Sorry your held for them, you have to report your card stolen just like a credit card. Calling weeks later doesn't help. Course we would also look at the security tapes to see who rented them
---------
If you returned the videos that weren't ever returned then you get credited back the cost of the movies. Otherwise charge your ex for the cost
Generally as long as someone bought the movies back, I take the cost of the movie off and cut the late fee in half.

Yeah well she still has them.... (boom02) (fu) trifiling ******* ***** ass slut....and it was sent to a collection agency

 

[REMillers]

Yep they do eventually go to a collection agency. Shoot if I still worked there I could call them and say it was taken care of, then go to your account and delete your social, name etc.

I think they call that fraud...

 

[REMillers]

So how about the #5....
