    Idk why, but honestly I feel like 20 years ago I remember getting robbed of 1 every now and then and being really pissed when it happened. I can’t pinpoint when, but I definitely feel like that doesnt happen anymore. Idk if its a coincidence or if they did something to improve accuracy. As for getting extra, i feel like thats only happened like twice in my life lol.

    I used to work at Blockbuster. (am old)

    They required a credit card to open an account. They would charge this account for late fees if you hadn’t paid them in 30 days or so. Their computer system didn’t check for valid credit card #s. The entire time I worked there, I misstyped almost every credit card number on a new account.

    Obviously with people changing accounts and cards expiring, the failure rate when we charged these accounts was always high and nobody ever said anything about it.

      I worked for blockbuster’s biggest rival, Hollywood video. They would actually process a $1 hold on cards entered into the system. And HV caved before blockbuster did.

    I don’t go by McDs often because their stuff is almost entirely crap but I did swing through for a 5 or 6pc nugget several months ago and I ended up with like 15. Props to the people leading the micro rebellions.
