What the fuck? Aren't they supposed to know what a goddamn 35mm film is, since they work in a «Photo Centre» ?!

Pay peanuts, employ monkeys
Go to a dedicated photography shop. You'll pay a bit more, but they'll appreciate your business and you'll appreciate their service and range of products

i think i kind of hate everything about you. i'm sure there's some sort of redeeming quality about you, though. what's your favorite band? food? movie?

They don't even do anything with it, you stick it in a bag and they send it to dwayne's or fuji who send the pictures back. Your film need never be touched by the hands of a wal mart employee.
I did notice last time I was in there they had a sign saying you wouldn't get your film back which worries me. I guess they scan at the lab and then print in the store or something.

> Your photo lab just destroyed a roll of film with 36 priceless memories of my brother's newborn baby before she died of lung problems. I want you to fire these incompetent morons, waive this bullshit development fee, and give me some replacement film.

> Free 4-pack of film, $25 gift card, photo lab kid gets replaced on the spot, and I don't pay them a cent.

LOL you hipsters are pathetic desu senpai
>>2730319
>Getting a guy fired over a snapshits and test shots
>>2730319
You might feel proud, but you're an asshole of the worst kind.
I'm just sad for your pathetic existence.
>>2730082
>You'll pay a bit more
My shop's actually less and much faster. Every big store sends it out, where as my photo shop does it all in house.
>you wouldn't get your film back
They don't return negs? wtf
>>2730351
>They don't return negs?
Reminds me of this:
>work in a professional lab as a side job
>guy hands in two rolls of 35mm reversal film
>calls in day after he picked up the developed films
>complains about missing negatives
>>2730348
I doubt the kid got fired. Probably just put in another department.
>>2730348
He was fired not because of snapshits but because of lie and recklessness.
