Frustrations when you get your digital photos at the kiosk (and manners - or lack thereof)

I just have to vent because I am seriously irritated.  I know I will be without kids one day. I know my life will considerably slow down. I realize this and I look forward to it. I am sure there will be technology that I have not learned or am trying to learn because the world as I know it will have changed.  But I still find it incredibly rude to hold up a line because the retired gentleman in front of me has come home from his trip from a foreign country and has decided to take his memory card to the kiosk.  Good for him.  But then he has to edit EVERY SINGLE ONE by making the contrast one point difference - which IMO takes away from the photo.  It would be all right to do some - spell that SOME - editing at the kiosk. But he has decided that he wants to edit all 400+ of his photos - which, IMO, should have been done (especially with the contrast being one point or so) at his house because that type of stuff comes standard with computers nowadays.  I wait for 40 minutes, trying to be patient with my 6 year old son in tow.  All I have to print are 2 stinking photos for frames for Fathers Day.

So I wait. Then he has the audacity to become irritated with my son for tapping his foot against the cabinet. I would have given him an earful had he decided to open his mouth. Again, I had to vent because I was seriously irritated for not even being warned something like, "I am definitely gonna be a while."  or something.  I realize this stuff can be frustrating.  But I finally left when the lady behind the counter handed the first 500 photos he had finished editing. It appears he had already been there over an hour. I figured he'd be there another hour or so. 

My only thought here is - use your computer to edit like that. 

I find it rude when people don't realize there's a line.

If I have a basketful of stuff, and the person behind me has only a handful, I'll let them go.

Same thing with at the gym, I have a water bottle to fill, and the person behind me only wants a drink? I'll step out of line.

It's common courtesy, which that man obviously LACKED. I'm sorry you had to go through that :(

I wish they would put a limit on how many photos you can tinker with on those kiosks.  I hated when my mom would hold up the line to edit and alter her 20 photos while the person behind her wanted to blow up one photo and have it printed.  As a common courtesy to others, I edit my photos at home, put it back on my memory card, and use the kiosks for a few prints.  If I have multiples I need, I order them online at home and just pick them up at the store.

I did end up ordering online where I can go get my photos. I was seriously perturbed. I did say something about putting limits on people so that others could use the machines as well.  I was wrapped up in the principle.
