Ya really are shooting for that top curmudgean spot!  :-)

All that is why I have my film developed by a local shop with a spotless 
reputation. I've never had any scratches or other marks on my negs, and 
I look. Last week, they were taking extra time for processing. I asked 
why. Their developer was working, but they weren't sure it was right, so 
they were handling the work through the machine at their other shop 
until they could have it checked out. OK so they cost a bit more than 
some places, but I think I get what I pay for. Those who use sloppy 
minilabs get what they pay for too.
