Punish them the same way they punished their own customers: charge their credit card and tell them they can now keep the titles they forgot to return.

I remberworking at Blockbuster when they pulled that. It was the called “The End of Late Fees”. No late fees ever, return your video whenever you’d like^1^!
^1^ If not returned after five days, we assume you wanted to buy it for the current full retail price and charge your credit card on file accordingly.

I remember walking barefoot to Blockbuster from the neighborhood pool to rent N64 games. Good fucking times

I remember when the N64 came out. I was an assistant manager, so when we got a couple of N64 rental units, I commandeered one of them that first day and played the fuck out of Mario and Wave Race.

Ramping off a dolphin in wave race was the moment I realized games could literally never improve or become more realistic. It wasn’t the dumbest thought I’ve ever had, but it ranks pretty high up there.

As the drone giving that news, it was so bad for TV shows. Someone rented Planet Earth which came in a 4 disc set for $100. If you lose 1 disk, we required ordering another full set. Someone lost the entire collection and was required to pay $400. I loved that job, but they made terrible decisions towards the end.
