Not only is there customer disservice throughout America now, but we have to deal with getting unadvertised services too. I've been hoping to do more entries about things I like, but this got under my skin and needs to be mentioned.<br /><br />The last photo processing center I attempted to use was through Walmart. This was before I quit my job; therefore, it was work related. I needed photos put on CD and preferred to have them back in an hour. I was told that it would be 2-3 hrs and please check back as their machines were down at the time. I obliged, but upon checking back was told to come back the next day. So I did. CDs were ready then. <br /><br />Since then, I thought that maybe it was a one time fluke until now when I went to Meijer's one hour photo center. We used three disposable cameras on our honeymoon to Hawaii and I wanted to get them on CD in order to get all the photos online to share with friends and family. I went to the one hour photo center and told them what I wanted. When I mentioned getting them done through one hour I got the following comment, "Not going to happen. The machines are down and it takes three hours to change the chemicals. You will have to come back tomorrow."<br /><br />Oddly enough, I was ok with this and went on my merry way, until today. I have the CDs with photos on them and I'm sitting here rotating all photos as they are upside down. Oh, and at least one photo has a sliver of another photo attached to it. <br /><br />I can understand needing to work on the machines, but the more it sits in my mind I keep wondering how it can take 3 hours to change chemicals. It was around 4pm when I dropped these disposable cameras off. And from my understanding most one hour photo centers don't close until 9pm. Then, when I do get my CDs, all the photos are upside down. How hard is it to put the photos on there correctly? And I don't want to hear crap about the machine doing it that way and "we" have no control over it.<br /><br />All I have to say is "whatever."<br /><br />I hope to God that America gets back to caring about others in the very near future, because all this disservice is starting to ware on me.<br /><br /><small>Tags: <a rel="tag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/One+Hour+Photo+Center">One Hour Photo Center</a>, <a rel="tag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/Walmart">Walmart</a>, <a rel="tag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/Meijer%27s">Meijer's</a>, <a rel="tag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/Customer+Disservice">Customer Disservice</a>, <a rel="tag" href="http://technorati.com/tag/Disposable+Cameras">Disposable Cameras</a></small><br /></p><br /><p style="color:#008;text-align:right;"><small><em>Powered by</em> <a href="http://www.qumana.com/">Qumana</a></small></p><br />vanillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15208294012905593097noreply@blogger.com
