You stupid inbred, wife beating, daughter fucking, crack smoking collective bunch of dumb asses.
A blank screen staring back at you on the Kodak picture maker means that if you insert your disk into the slot.... You won't be getting it back.

Or so I thought...
I have to play "wait for the damn machine to warm up", for caption dumb ass.

Further more......
5 minutes to closing, isn't an invitation to do 543 pictures, that takes a good 45 minutes. Get someone with a brain to help you with the math... Dumb ass.

God I hate rednecks, people don't come to my photo lab... Ever, seriously I'll fucking kill you....

Number one, if your system is out of order, put up a sign. For all I know, the screen activates when I insert a disk. I don't know how your system is programmed. If this is a common enough problem that you have to rant about it, I would think it's worth making a sign for.

The math for that person is "543 times X seconds to do photo". There is not sufficient data for them to know it'll take a good 45 minutes. Just politely tell them it won't take a while. If someone else asks that question the next night, respond the same way. It's just what you need to do.

Part C, yeah I can see how it would be annoying, but I don't see anything too unreasonable as far as what to expect from people coming in. Most people aren't photographers, and what sort of machine can't eject a disk when it is powered down? Clearly it isn't like the computers they are used to working with, and hey every one of these places is different.

Don't be like the idiots at a Starbucks that feel the need to pretend they have no idea how to translate a request for "large" into their stupid designations. (Seriously, how dumb do they think I am? You KNOW what I want! Kids these days with their video games and... the tuba!)

The machine was not out of order we were closed, and there was a giant sign on the picture maker to that effect.
