I work at a drugstore in the US (the other Wal with a color in the name). I have been working the photo lab. Its stressful this time of year. Luckily some customers understand and I will bend over backwards to make sure they are happy.
Not This Lady
She had a tablet. She was getting a boob job. Wanting photos printed out fo her doctor, she came in to us. Main issue is, many modeling pictures are professional. I cannot print them without a release form (per law). She turned from nice to bitch in .6 seconds. Her excuse was "It is on the internet, I should get it". I would not budge. She had me call my manager and he backed me up. We can't give advice on how to get these pictures, technically. But he said to talk to our competitor . The guy I helped after her thanked me (loudly) and said he was a professional photographer and he is glad our store is protecting them.
Bonus- not sucky, just hilarious
My machine was down today. Only hope to salvage some sales is our instant printer. This guy, mid 20's in a suit, comes in and wanted to get some 4x6s done. Easy enough. New phone, so not many pictures. I plug it in and we went by folder hoping it was the correct one. It was pictures of naked girls . I look away, but other than that I don't care. I unplug and we start again and went with a different approach. Found what he wanted. He was thoroughly embarrassed, but I told him I have seen worse and it isn't my business what he puts on his phone. The poor guy. At least we had a good laugh about it.
