Blockbuster Return Policy
Blockbuster, the video rental store doesnt allow you to return DVDs to a different store from the one that you rented it from.
There are a bunch of people driving around the US on long trips and with the proliferation of in-car DVD systems, it would be great if they would change the policy and allow people to return their DVDs anywhere they wanted.
For example, lets say a samily leaves on a road trip from New York to Orlando, Florida. They start with two DVDs. When they finish watching it, they can quickly take an exit in North Carolina and return them. They can then pick up some more DVD's, watch them and return it in Florida ....
Maybe, if this catches up, there will a Blockbuster every few exits like McDonalds !

I am sure their systems allow tracking a particular media to the granularity of the store it was returned at, but do not provide logistics to actually move it around physically.
The same situation exists in the rental car industry - Each city's office is operated by a private party, but cars rented at one location can be returned anywhere
