My experience is that in the last few years cheap photo processing has 
gotten a lot better, because of better automation.  However, they still 
figure out ways to scratch the film or cut film in the middle of 
frames...

Some places are better than others, though.  It depends on the attitude 
of management at the store.

As for me, I often use a local pro lab, but because Sav-On is faster 
and half the price and some rolls are just snapshot material, I do find 
myself going there sometimes.
