I was at the dollar store when approached by some kid that was dressed nice and pushy wanting me to have pictures taken. It was only $10 so I said why not. He scheduled an appointment for the next Saturday at the store I was shopping at. Kind of odd cuz I didn't know there was a portrait studio hidden in the store. Haha.
So I spent the next 5 days preparing for the pictures. made my 4 boys get haircuts and bought us all new shirts.
We showed up at our assigned time and asked a store employee where the picture place was and they pointed towards the back of the store. We looked all over but still couldn't find it. Well come to find out the picture studio was a traveling set up which was taking pictures in the fricken bathroom of the dirty dollar store. OMG!
After a 30 min wait it was our turn so we picked a background and paid another $6 for the sitting fee. The camera guy, notice I didn't say photographer, was nothing more then a young kid with a cheap camera who was probably promoted from the position of the person that originally approached me for having the most sales the month before. After we were done he assigned us an appointment in 3 weeks to pick up our photos.
I showed up on the day and time scheduled and no1 was there from the photo place and none of the dollar store employees knew what I was talking about. They must have thought I was some crazy lady askig about pictures taken in the bathroom. I called the phone number listed on the paper I had but only got voicemail. I was mad.
The next day I get a call from the pic place telling me I was supposed to be there to pick up the photos.
To skip to the point ... I met with a person who wanted to charge me five hundred dollars for some stupid picture pacakge. I took my photos and got the hell out of there before someone else tried to scam me into something rediculious.
