Big movie chain raises there prices!!!!

Tweet

Last night I wanted to watch a movie that came out a few years ago. I have seen the movie my friend hadnt so we decided to rent it. Normally I go to Redbox or would use Netflix and we wanted it on a whim so I didn't know if Redbox would have it so we stopped by a large movie rental chain. I went to the old movie section and picked up my movie now in the past when I rented movies there the older movie selection was 1.99 and imagine my surprise when the clerk told me my total was over 5.00! I said aren't the older movies 1.99 and he said the prices our on the board I looked up and there little catch is they charge you $1 a day for 5 days so it's now 5! Most people who rent movies watch it that day and return it. It makes me remember when they used to have movies due really early and so it was almost impossible that they wouldn't be late. Now because there losing money due to Redbox & Netflix they decide to raise there prices? They lost me as a customer. I hate for any business to go out of business but they are almost asking for it by raising there prices! I can go to Redbox and get a brand new release for only a buck. If I want to keep it longer I can and pay another buck. I'm not forced to pay 5 upfront. Will you stop renting movies if rental places keep raising there prices?
