I'm curious what prompted the lab to conclude the photos were

She said that they looked like they were done professionally.
I've got copyright notices in the exif of my files (I think) and
have never had this come up.
She was actually correct in that these were some photos that I
did in an attempt to sell quickie portraits at dance events.
That would be enough. A Costco type of lab is not going to start
digging around in the EXIf trying to determine ownership. For that
matter, they may not even have a way of viewing EXIF data. I know the
labs I ran at Wal-Mart had no way of doing it as they came from the
factory.
You could get to the EXIF on the Kodak/Noritsu systems at Target if you
knew how to sign off as "Operator" and sign on as "Supervisor".
I never felt any need to look at EXIF data, but I noticed the menu
option once or twice while I was fixing stuff while talking on the phone
with my tech. I knew enough about computers I could fix stuff over the
phone that other stores had to wait for a tech to make an on-site visit
to fix.
It's the main reason I had such good up-time for my lab.
The techs were always busy - too many calls, not enough techs. When
*every* call is a "priority red" call, none of the calls is really a
priority.
The "Operator" program automatically launched at start-up, but there
were semi-hidden menus you could get to that would let get behind the
program desktop to the OS desktop where you could close programs and
re-launch them to sign on as "Supervisor" or "Service".
"Service" got you to the technicians menus. My tech would call me and
have me log in to the program as "service" to see if it was a problem
that could be fixed without him having to make a trip out to the store.
"Supervisor" didn't really do much that "Operator" couldn't do except
that you could change the options the "Operator" could see. Had to go in
there a couple of times when automatic updates didn't download to the
system properly.
A failed automatic update was NOT a priority red call. You might not get
service on that for weeks, but you could get a phone call the same day.
"Supervisor" was where you could turn on/off whether EXIF data would be
visible to the "Operator", and you could change printer options such as
allowing the system to print 8x12s as well as 8x10s on the 8 inch roll
paper.
