Hastings' 5-Day Videos

© Copyright 2002, Jim Loy

I've been burned by this a couple of times. I should remember, but I will probably be burned by it in a year or so. Hastings Video has many movies that you can rent for "five days." These are the older movies. Unfortunately, five days actually means four days. If you rent a movie at 5:00 Monday, the movie is due back on Friday. Saturday will get you a late fee. Now, when I rented it, they probably told me that it was due on Friday; so it is my own fault that I wasn't paying attention. But the "5-days" on the actual video display box is an outright lie. Other video stores seem to tell the same lie.
