One Hour Photo

I am fully aware that I lack patience when comes to BS. I am also fully aware that not very long ago I too worked retail. Not only did I work retail for a short time I worked in a photo department. Enough build up on with my encounter.

I went in to a CVS pharmacy on Saturday morning after Alec's game. The place is always very mellow and quite much like a rite-aid. I go to the photo counter with my nine rolls of film and disposable cameras and begin filling out the envelopes to have them processed. Let me tell you I was so excited that I had finally gotten off my "tukas" to do this.

When I finished filling out the nine envelopes, I waited for like 2-3 minutes finally the checker came over and asked if I were done. I told her yes, then asked about how long. She looks at all y film then at a piece of paper on a poll and says quite confidently like five or six pm. Granted it's 11 in the morning. She also goes on to say well I'm the onlyone here and I have to check and process the film. So yeah I'm a little heated but remain calm, another employee comes over she asks him how long he thinks it will take. He tells me the same, then firmly reminds me that I have nine rolls to be developed, and it takes an hour per roll. Clearly BS. Now my temper has risen a bit, so I ask him if eight other people were in line behind me would he tell the ninth person to come back at five or six?

Guess he either didn't have an answer or didn't want to answer. He just simple replied "well we'll try to have it ready by 5:30pm." Bottom line I lost alot of confidence in the store because I knew he was not telling the whole truth. I'm sure the reality of the situation was they were not properly staffed to run the photo department and help regular drug store customers.
