8-day DVD hire

Random question: why don’t United Video give a receipt or similar when you hire DVDs stating the date they’re due back? Would be extremely helpful for the thousands of multi-day hires they’ve got, especially 8 days. By the time a few days have passed, the date we hired the DVDs is blurred, making the date they’re due back impossible to work out.

Probable answer: they don’t want to be helpful and remind you of the due date because they want the DVDs to be returned late, so you can be fined.

I hate fines. I never get fined.
