Blockbuster pricing needs some busting

After renting videos for more than two years at the Braelinn Blockbuster, I recently became aware that the Kedron store charges 50 cents less (it's even cheaper in Union City).

I called the company and was told by a district manager that, since the prices are clearly posted, being overcharged is the renter's problem.

I was surprised by his callous attitude, considering all the trouble Blockbuster has been in lately for price-gouging.

I decided that if I couldn't get this outfit to behave fairly, the least I could do would be to warn my friends and neighbors about this pricing policy and indifference of Blockbuster officials.

Say, is it too late to turn the future Wal-Mart into a Hollywood Video?
