Netflix, would you kindly …

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? ‘No!’ says the man in Washington, ‘It belongs to the poor.’ ‘No!’ says the man in the Vatican, ‘It belongs to God.’ ‘No!’ says the man in Moscow, ‘It belongs to everyone.’ ‘No!’ says the man at Netflix, ‘It belongs to us.’ I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose … Rapture … or at least some kind of fair warning when a service charges my credit card.

After putting my Netflix account on hold because honestly, I didn’t get my money’s worth when I couldn’t even watch the movies I rented, Netflix decides to take my account off hold and charge me. I was aware that my account would eventually be taken off hold after a certain period of time, it still seems pretty sleazy for anyone to just charge you without telling you and give you any warning aside from two e-mails one after the other. Neflix has of course thought of this and one cannot get any sort of refund since cancelled accounts forfeit the remainder of their paid time.

Note to Netflix, it is first of all bad customer service when you take the control of one’s account from the account holder to re-activate their account even if you say so. Netflix, would you kindly change your sleazy company policy. I guess not.

eh, it’s four in the morning and my level of caring about losing fifteen bucks has sunk to ‘who cares’.
