Actually, the people who buy the digital cameras ALSO need their photos in an hour...I guess my hatred just blinded me to them. These are the people who bought the digital camera so that they could stay away from ranting assholes like me, and ended up coming back anyway. Then again it IS Wal-Mart, the place where people shop DURING a blizzard because heaven forbid they miss a savings.

And there is nothing wrong with that. This is the age of computers, who needs actual paper pictures really? Put them on a CD and take them to your friends house and bring them up on a computer, or even most DVD players now allow slideshows from picture disks! You can even hook most cameras up to a tv for slideshows. The need for the photos to be processed is pointless.

You don't get the I am naked and/or loving it and/or taking pictures of other people naked and/or loving it and I can't get all the attention I deserve about my bits on film if they aren't done in 1 hour and therefor I can discuss the pictures with the person serving me because I know they have seen them because they were done in 1 hour people?

They don't announce it ahead of time, as we are not allowed to give them said pictures. We must shred them, and as far as I know we do. They seem to think that we might miss it. We don't.

There was also one girl who dropped off pictures, she must have been like 15 or something, and when I developed them, there were pictures of her drinking and smoking pot. Now there's no problem with us printing THOSE pictures out, but since I'm not a fan of people, let alone snot-nosed 15 year olds (not that she had snot in her nose), I wrote "look" on the envelope, when her mom came by to pick them up. "Look" generally meaning "Some pictures didn't turn out, which do you want?" She looked, her face distorted, she paid for the film, and I think the daughter might be let out of the basement in the coming weeks.

Ah, well we can print as long as there is no penetration, animals, children or a combination of the above. Most of the time I adhere a 'great shot' sticker in an appropriate place and highlight the word 'enlarge'.

Stupid kids with drugs, on the other hand, get a refusal to print letter attached to the front of their order, which our manager reads out loud to them when they pick it up. (This is only for the kids who are too cool for school and have to take pictures of themselves doing drugs. If drugs just happen to be in the picture, that's ok)

Isn't that messed up? I work out Wal-Mart (Yes, also messed up), and we can't do the nudity ones at all, but kids with drugs are A-OK.
