| - Great idea... in theory!
I think the whole $1/photo, min 6 photo thing is pretty cool. It's printed on a matte coaster-like thick cardboard, which definitely makes for a unique souvenir. Service here was great. You can plug in a variety of electronic devices (you just swap them your ID for a phone/USB cord or a micro/SD card reader). People seemed pretty helpful when we had questions.
What I was disgusted by was the temperamental artifact of a computer, which crashed multiple times when I was doing an upload. Kind of strange that a store that prides itself on printing media through technology would have the gall to even let people use these computers! (You can tell that slow technology is not exactly my cup of tea.) When you choose your 6, after multiple times of choosing the same 6 and the program freezing, (I can't imagine what would happen if you wanted to print more), you get to add all these cool effects and filters-- but don't do that. It's DINOSAUR slow. I'm pretty sure I aged 2 years waiting to type in my simple, "VEGAS 2014" caption, and another 5 years applying the cool faded filter. Afraid the program will freeze again and I would have to start all over, I just decided to send it all off to print. No filter, no caption, no special anythings.
I was pleased with the cool product and the uniqueness and variety of the store, but it was such a hassle to deal with those computers that I don't think I'd ever print in-store again. EVER.
