Well, I can now one-up this. I just took a roll in today to the drug store
which is now one of the few places to take Kodachrome for pickup. The young
girl behind the counter was trying to decide which of two processing
services she should check off. I helpfully pointed out that one of them was
marked PRINTS ONLY, and that this was slide film.
Silence. That particular type of silence you get when your listener can make
no sense of what you just said. It took a second or two for me to realize
exactly what she hadn't understood. Horrifying.
I tried to explain, wondering where I should start, but she fled to ask an
older cashier, who knew what to do.
The horror... the horror!
