Costco Photo Prints

I've been a Costco member for over ten years, but I visit less and less. So last month I went in a hurry to have photos printed at the one hour processing. I waited in line to access one of four photo kiosks. Then waited in line to submit and pay for my order. And then mulled around for an hour while they were processed.

To my amazement, a nice lady inquired why I hadn't uploaded my photos to Costco Online and then simply come by at the designated time? What, Costco's doing a SnapFish-like thing? So last night I spent thirty or so minutes manipulating my images, uploading them to Costco Online and selecting my options. The photos were ready by 11 a.m. today.

Oh, did I mention that I was doing this at 9 p.m., way beyond Costco's in store operating hours? It was fast, convenient and I learned something else....Costco even does wallet sized prints! I ordered four different poses and I like the quality of the prints and the fact that I receive four wallets per each order. The prices are great too...17 cents per print!

10 Things You're Thankful For

~ Buddah He's my bud and loves me unconditionally. Such a furry little guy brings me so much joy! LOL
~ Employment I love my job and most of the people I work with. It's a fun environment and the majority of us recognize that we spend a LOT of time together, so we make the best of it.
~ Spirituality guides me daily and teaches me patience, humility, compassion, love and understanding.
~ My Muvo and iPod - let there be lots of music everywhere!
~ Friends who make life fun, meaningful and laughable.
~ Blogs and the sense of community they cultivate. I've met many good people online and they've enriched my life.
