I knew from the get go that I shouldn't have gone to Walgreens, I just knew something would go wrong. But I just moved to a new, more rural, area and Walgreens and Walmart are the only two places within an hour drive from me that develop film (after this experience, I will be making the hour+ drive to go to a more professional place). Last Tuesday I dropped off 3 rolls of 35mm film at my local Walgreens. Two of the rolls were 36 exposure, and one was 24. Well yesterday I went to go pick them up. The lady only handed me two packs of photos. When I told her "I dropped off 3 rolls," she looked again and then told me "I only see two." So I bought the two and took them home.
Now, that's not all, they did more than just lose a roll. The 24 exposure roll only came back with 5 shots, the other 19 are god knows where. They only got one of the three rolls right and the others were a complete failure.
Now I have a question. Has anyone had a place lose your rolls of film? Is there anything that can be done to be compensated for their mistake(s)? I hardly remember what was on that roll they lost, but I think it's photos from my recent family vacation to South Carolina, which is something I'd really like to see. I know now to never go to Walgreens anymore for this purpose, but I am curious as to what I can do (if anything) to get something out of them losing 55 of my exposures. They should at the very least pay for my roll that was lost.
