If you worked at my local Wal-Mart I would probably come to you too.
However, we have a bunch of college students, and otherwise unemployable
elderly ladies working at the Wal-Mart lab. Knowledge and skill is not
what the local management is looking for, but cheap wages. BTW I would
guess that 90% of the film processing in Boone is done by the local
Wal-Mart.

Well, the point I would like to make is that despite the influx of
digital you are still doing more than 1/2 the film processing
business you were doing before digital. Since today there are
probably more people using digital (especially camera phones) than
were using film that says a lot.
To me, it say that the trend is a 25% decrease in film use per year
for the last couple of years in my market area.
I have some very serious photographers coming to me, BTW.
