Walmart won't print my photos

newsroom:

Walmart has a policy of not reprinting photos that “look professional.” So even though our wedding photographer has given Ashley and I all the negatives and told us that we can do whatever we want with them, Walmart doesn’t believe us and wants a signed release before they’ll do anything. Oh, and they kept the CD full of images that we gave them.

Who appointed them the copyright police? If I had a DSLR camera and turned in some photos that “looked professional,” would I have to prove to them that I took the pictures before they’d print them for me?

I don’t know, maybe this is good for photographers or something. All I know is that it’s making me very angry right now.

Walmart makes horrible prints, imho. I’ve always preferred Walgreens first, Target second, and Walmart last. Of course, a professional would go to, you know, a professional place to have them done (or do it themselves). I’m fairly certain that no professional would go to Walmart (but I could be wrong on that).
