Fuck you Ted Rogers and your stupid ass raping

[Mao Tse Tongue]

Baaa baaa baaa. You know.. Blockbuster does have late fees. At a certain point (8 days?) they will charge you for the movie.

Their late fees don't kick in the next day, but a week later. Sounds like a better deal for me since Rogers charges the next day. Geez, are people even paying attention?

Yes, I realize that Blockbuster ain't Mother Theresa, but that's not the point. They're a devil I prefer.

return on time

problem solved

Which problem is solved? Then I'm locked into having the movies one night when others let me have them indefinitely. But thanks for playing.

Why do certain customers feel that they are so much better than everyone else that the rules, policies and procedures do not apply to them. When they don't get their way they cry like spoiled brats. Often people will give in to these assholes to shut them up.
Has anybody ever stood behind some whining fool at a store who is wasting everyone elses time in line being ignorant. Shut the fuck up and get the hell outta the way.

You would be the poster child for Canadian obedience. On you, monopolies are made. Bet you pay your banking fees without looking across the street too.

If you can download for free, why are you renting?
Everything else you just said is babble...


Ted Rogers isn't worth billions because he was "nice" and "thoughtful" of his customers. It's a business.

Right, but he's also charging an arm and a leg for those iPods that work GREAT with iTunes. Song sales at $1.00 a song add up to millions.
iPods are damn expensive.


Being that I used to work at Hell Sympatico's/Mobility's head office, knowing their prices and how they work. I can tell you right now, you're getting fucked by them without question.

So don't lull yourself into this false sense of security.
This is all business, not charity.

You've made my point inadvertently: This is a business, not a charity. Exactly my point. Ain't about "morality" or "rules" or me being an "asshole"--it's about the marketplace and I'm getting a better deal elsewhere, and right behind me is the Internet, where there's a galloping stampede who say "fuck you" to paying altogether, and my point once again is that Rogers better change its business model and stop milking every dime out of customers or it will find itself with the very same problem that the music biz is faced with, which is a reverse ass raping.

Having spend a fair bit of time in the music business, I can tell you on some authority that I watched as record labels nickel and dimed consumers, continued to put all the coke up their nose, and then along came the Internet and people said "Why the fuck am I paying $15-$18 for a fucking CD AND in every format?" and guess what? The music business was on its knees, and the movie business is next people. And the late fee is the elephant in the room that will be the death of Rogers if they don't change.

AND MARK MY WORDS AS I SCREAM IN CAPS: ROGERS WILL ELIMINATE LATE FEES WITHIN SIX MONTHS OR I WILL TAKE IT UP THE ASS FROM LASSLICKER, LOL

Thread closed for me. I've made my point. Some get it, some don't. Baaaah

Is it not considered delusional when you believe you're the one who's right and the whole world is wrong? I suggest you find a good shrink Mao to get some help

 

[peteeey]

I was late in returning a movie to Blockbuster. I didn't pay a late fee. I paid a "re-stocking fee."

 

[hapkido]

The main thrust of your rant is about market forces, disruptive new technologies and stupid fees. In short you will take your money else where and cross over to competition. Where I find your argument weak is... you return to the traditional rental video store that over charges and is not convenient (all in the name of no late fee). So if it was all about value you would be using other channels of distribution. I haven't walked into a video store for 6 years.

So few of you understand that it goes beyond me returning movies on time, and has to do with an outdated business model that is going to take a trashing--and very soon.

I will put my faith in the business acumen of Ted Rogers and his corporate executives over you any day. Rogers Communications stock was trading at about $20/share in September 2003. Not long ago it traded above $58/share. I sold my 2000 shares at $58/share. I think that Ted Rogers and his executives have demonstrated excellent business sense and have greatly enriched the shareholders. Although the video store business is a small part of the enterprise, having people like you contributing to the bottom line just made it easier for people like me to make money. I'm just waiting for a correction in the markets to make Rogers shares worthwhile to buy again. I'm confident that they know how to grow the business and increase value for the shareholders. That's what really counts.

You guys have no competition up here in Canada. I was telling the Blockbuster guy how B'buster USA is getting kicked in the nuts by netflix.

It's not just Rogers, i see the same practice in banking, insurance, financial services...over and over.

Blockbuster USA has a rent-by-mail program just like Netflix.

I had it for a few months.

I found it better and cheaper than Netflix.

In addition to the unlimited rentals (3 at a time) in the mail, you also got 2 free rentals/month at the store.

 

[Serpent]

B'buster does. Now. After they were dumped by a lot of customers who were mad like Mao and didn't wanna take it no more.

Although, Netflix has it's own problems. I remember when i was in school in 2002 and used to rent heavily from them, they used to throttle them. We had a class action suit against them in California. Well, i'm getting 1 month free out of them for that.

But point being: B'buster and Rogers are monopolies with no real competition and they know it.

 

[Mao Tse Tongue]

BTW, get ready to lick some ass, because they have no intention of doing this. Blockbuster has done this for over a year and Rogers didn't follow suit, they are not about to now.

Aside from your insults, which i expect from you, I will lay $100 on the line to prove you wrong on this. I'll even send the money to Fred, you send yours and we'll see what happens in the next six months. My hedge on the bet is that either Rogers will eliminate late fees or put a cap on them.

You in?

I use all channels, but some movies are not available in all channels. Simple.

 

[Mao Tse Tongue]

She'll help you. She took them back and only charged me the late. She is the only one with the signing authority to do so. I would have paid the bill tho, and I didn't leave the store bitching that I would "never come back here" either. So attitude goes along way!

Some times attitude is necessary, but most times friendliness and persuasion go a long way. Depends on the situation.

I'm always right when a guy with 4 posts who doesn't have the nutsac to post under his main handle throws mud, yes.

 

[Mao Tse Tongue]

Ok, that's it!! I'm going back to the pussy section so I can blow off some anti-Ted steam, maybe blow some jizz on Ted's cardboard cutout face.

I love you all, baaahhhhh.

 

[Mao Tse Tongue]

Why????

Like I care either way wtf Rogers does......

I don't think they are going to, you do. So what. I don't really feel the need to take your money. If you want to send it to me in 6 months, then fine. Come find this thread in Feb.

Pfffft.

 

[fireman2525]

OOH the pacific mall!

i haven't rented a movie in years...I just get the 7 dvd's of $20 at the Chinese malls. I know some of them are bad copies or from in the theater with a shaky video cam but I make a dringing game out of it...everytime someone coughs or something a take a drink of a beer. One time there was actually a page for mr.so and so to go get his kid from the candy counter I mean come on that is a down the beer right there.

 

[Mao Tse Tongue]

See I was right not to send in the $100.00, hehehe

At least I am the first to admit that I was wrong.........

Rogers has NO Late Fees

Now go back and edit all the other threads where you were wrong.
