No More Blockbuster Late Fees

Starting January 1, 2005, Blockbuster Canada will no longer charge late fees for overdue movies and games. Instead, after a week-long grace period, the tardy customer's account will be charged the price of the movie (minus the rental fee, plus a restocking fee) and get to keep it.

This sounds kinda cool to me. It's like a try-before-you-buy store. This should be welcome news to Teresa, since every time she returns a movie to our local video store, they're always slapping on a late fee, regardless of whether she returned the movie on time or not.
