I ran into a problem when two Blockbuster stores basically had the same DVD
under two different policies - I'll skip the long explanation of the events
and policies beyond I talked with the local area manager and he fixed
everything in a gracious way.

I suppose this is not what you are looking for, and I hope everything turns
out okay for you, but I have found that every time there has been a
discrepancy between them and me, they have always taken me at my word and
waived extra charges.

12:00 noon at 12:02)
