I used to be a member of AAA. They would tow your car for free if you broke down and have a ton of benefits for members, like travel discounts, etc. My membership had expired and I waited a few months to renew. When I finally got around to renewing, they were going to back-date the membership to the date when it expired. I said to the woman on the phone “If my car broke down during this period would you have towed it for free?” She said “No, of course not, your membership was expired.” OK, then, why make me pay retroactively for that time period?

Does that make sense to you? Am I incorrect with my logic?
