Pop Quiz

Assume for a moment you rent a movie, in this case a singularly generic schlocky horror film like My Bloody Valentine in 3D.

Question 1: The movie does not appear to be functioning in your DVD player. Do you

A) Phone up the business immediately to let them know they may have given you faulty goods

OR

B) wait until the following day at 6 PM, when you return it, to inform them of its malfeasance.

Question 2: Assuming you choose option (B) above, do you then

A) Take the owner's offer of store credit equal in value to the rental, even as the supposedly nonfunctional disc is tested in the store's player before you and shown to work just fine

OR

B) demand your money back on top of a free rental and grow petulant when the owner informs you that he already did more than he by all rights should have in offering credit because his establishment does not bear a sign reading “Movie library: Donations appreciated!”

Those who fail the quiz by choosing Option 2B win nothing.
