This isn't fast food and I wasn't vindicated, but I'm still plenty pissed.
My ex and I bought a 20$ gift certficate at Block Buster (38th and Wadworth, for you Denver folk) for someone and through circumstances I won't go into, didn't give it to the guy.
Well, flash forward 2 years and I still have this thing. Well, Christmas is coming up and I decide to get my mom a DVD and some movies. So I decide to use this $20 and get them.
I pick up the DVD and about 4 movies (about $150) and get to the counter. The guy behind the counter takes the gift certificate and says, "Sorry, this has expired".
WTF??????
Sure enough, in the fine print, was a clause that the certificate was good only for a year from purchase.
Never mind that the SAME Blockbuster was still in business.
Never mind that they had my money.
Expired.
I asked for the manager and she was no more help than the kid.
So I walked out, leaving $150 bucks of merchandise behind and vowing never EVER to go in a Blockbuster again.
In hindsite, I should have kept the certificate and called their corporate headquarters, but I foolishly didn't.
