Well, not really that bad, Battou, as I made it sound, and the "eat their sandwiches while they handle my film" thing is actually something my sister once said, only did I put a fat cross on the cheapest, smallest prints to be had when I had my latest film developed (just so I could only see what I had got, could always order larger sizes on better paper later), and then they used the one-size bigger paper size, on their premium paper, printed all 36 photos, but declared the container had been damaged and most suffered from light leakage. But I had to pay for all the bad ones, too, and the high price. Grrr. (I could have returned the pics, waited for another week, and get back my cheap ones, but ... what the hxxx - but what annoys me is that they actually RELY on this, their customer's, reaction...)
Ah yes, I had a similar yet opposit occurance with my parking issues photos, when I got them back they where damaged beyond anything I had ever seen, this includes my own rookie mistakes as well as those of others during my photography classes. I too could have sent them back and waited another week, however I absolutely needed those photos on the NOW basis and could not do that. I had ordered doubles to boot. I ended up having the stores manager call them and rip into the labs manager, it's all I could do.
I have also had occations where they have run my images threw their "perfect touch" process costing me an additional couple dollars and making me have to do a crapload of work to remove the two layers of film they put over the negs before I could scan them.
Oh yeah, here is a prime example of why the powerline takes the cake too.
