The local WalMart Neighborhood Store (the smaller 42,000 square foot mini-grocery/walmart units) near me recently got rid of their 30 minute photo lab and replaced it with ... books and magazines! They retained the kiosks for ordering prints from digital memory sticks and Photo CDs. Getting rid of film processing and replacing it with another medium that is going to a certain death is kinda bizarre. I wonder what they'll replace the book section with when books stop selling; maybe a VHS video rental?
