That's C41. He stopped E6 about the same time he stopped one hour. The Walmart processor (miles away) barely processes film anymore at all. The photo staff once there had three or four people behind the counter all day. Now there is one, and sometimes two. The Rite Aid store only prints from the kiosk. No in store processing of film. The Walgreen's has one clerk who also stocks the shelves when he's not busy, which is most of the time. Two grocers have photo counters at their store, offering five day turn-around. With that kind of market, I'd say it is the perfect business for a retiree. You could go to work, and never have to lift a finger all day.
