Hastings
Posted January 12th, 2013 at 08:44 PM by Antemortem
I'm getting tired of Hastings passively scamming me out of money. If anyone doesn't know what Hastings is, it's a chain of store that carries virtually everything media related, from video games, to music, to new movies, to old movies, books, etc. They also rent out movies and games (that's actually what they're more known for).
Anywho... I rent movies from them almost every weekend because I have no life and love to cram cheese puffs in my dark, secluded room every Saturday and Sunday watching new movies that I was too lazy to go to the theatre and see when they were first released, watching my phone sit dormant, no texts or calls to be found. Since I make money on a regular basis (as I have a job!) I like to spend it but since I don't spend it with other people, I waste it on movie rentals! Woo.
But when those movie rentals are scams, I have a problem with it. When I say scam, I don't mean they were fake or broken movies or anything like that. I'll provide an example instead of tripping over my words in a lackluster attempt to explain myself.
I rented the movie Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos a few weeks ago. As soon as I got home, I slipped silently into my bedroom, shut off all the lights (because I am a hermit and lol light) and put my movie in my PS3. Little did I know - since I lacked vision due to the pitch blackness wrapped around me - that the two discs in the case were both special feature discs. I cannot describe my confusion when the movie wouldn't load. >__>;;
I hastily returned the movie and it turns out that none of the copies they had on the shelves were the real movie, but all special feature disc sets, but since they were rental versions, none of the special features worked... In essence, that basically meant they had a baker's dozen of rental movies that did not have any purpose whatsoever. I wasted $4 on a blu-ray dud and have done so on multiple occasions. ;___;
Might just have to start buying my stuff like an Ameri-
