Oh and another thing....the one time we tried this
at our least fave entertainment outlet. They told us that the lists which make
up the guarantees are store specific, and after checking it seemed that that particular
title (the one we found on the shelf actually standing RIGHT ON the bit of card
telling you about the scheme) was not currently listed as part of that scheme.
Wow what a shocker! So perhaps the computers reasoning goes something along the
lines of...

10 IF movie = instock THEN ADD TO raincheckList

20 IF movie = outofstock THEN REMOVE FROM
raincheckList

30 GOSUB RecoverLateFeeRevenue

40 GOSUB EmployYetAnotherUntrainedEmployee

50 GOTO 10

60 DEFSUB RecoverLateFee

70 Victim=CustomerDb Random (all)

80 LateReason=NonReturn OR LateReturn

90 RETURN

100 DEFSUB=EmployYetAnotherUntrainedEmployee

110 If attitude<3 AND MovieKnowledge=0 AND
StorePolicy=unknown AND ProjectedLengthOfEmployment<3 weeks
THEN Employ

120 ELSE lookForCheaperOption

130 RETURN
