Thrifty screwed me - didn’t have a car and I had to eat over half the costs from a pre pay as thrifty and the pick up location turned their back and didn’t process as though they did not fill the order. And refuse to correct it - I am wasting time fighting this now and warn everyone against paying in advance ecspecially with Thrifty - and the pickering location
