It's a very localized process... There's one Sam's here (out of the 3 within 5 miles) that has a woman that's been there for several years...and she's very good. The other 2 stores don't know how to produce an 8X12... which isn't in their menu... There's one photo store in 3 counties... and they haven't heard of "same day service" yet, and probably never will... 8X12 at Sam's is $1.58... Same photo at the photo store, last week was $8, and took 3 days... Most of the college's photo programs here require weekly projects... Without paying crazy handling fees, I can't get Nations' turn around times to make the weekly deadlines... Walgreens and CVS are the same way... very fast turn around, but you have to find a store with employees that know how to run the machines, and are conscientious...
