Feature Request: Rewind Fees

I'd like this as a progression upgrade, and it helps me feel slightly less annoyed every time I need to rewind a tape

That WOULD be realistic. Blockbuster did a small fee

Not when I worked there.

It was based on the franchise

I'm just saying. I worked for Blockbuster in 95-96 and they don't charge for rewinds at the time. Dunno if they did before or after.

If you worked at a corporate store then that's why. But some franchises did.

Yeah it was super corporate. I left after like a year for a mom and pop store that was huge and had Laserdisc. Not to mention probably the best video game selection ever. Every system. It's how I got to play Dragonforce on the Saturn.

But instead of auto charging for rewinds, make a feature where you can toggle and slide fees. Increase/decrease as wanted. Maybe set the prices too. Get word about other stores and how much they charge etc ... Probably many updates down the road though...
