As someone who's now lived on four continents, I like getting help from people when I don't know what I'm doing. Whether it's not speaking the language, not knowing which bus to take, or just a general ignorance as to what I should be doing, the average dude coming over to me and helping out can make a huge difference. But, as I've seen in Colombia, this sometimes backfires when trying to make a somewhat odd purchase. …..click here to read more
When Helpful People Make It Harder To Buy Stuff
Using Technology In The Classroom: A Cautionary Tale
I like technology. As a Peace Corps Volunteer in Barranquilla, Colombia, I think my life is very different than most of my peers. My public school has two computer labs, wireless internet (that usually works, too!), countless computers (some of which are still sitting in their boxes), microphones, speakers, etc. The second story apartment I call home is also equipped with wi-fi, which I use on my MacBook, iPhone and Kindle Fire. I am one well-connected dude. …..click here to read more
The Adventure Of Teaching At A Colombian Public School
The Adventure Of Teaching At A Colombian Public School
I remember getting a call from the Peace Corps for my final interview. I had been teaching English at a private, after-school academy in Seoul, South Korea, for eight months while I played in two folk / rock bands and searched for new work opportunities to consider. I really liked Korea (loved, actually), but I was excited about the possibility to leave the country and join the Peace Corps. (It's funny, as a current Peace Corps Volunteer, I'm now searching for ways to get back to Seoul after I'm finished). …..click here to read more
Accident Sends Me To Doctor 4 Days After Returning To Colombia
I seem to have had a string of bad luck concerning my health. After spending 3 weeks in Iowa to see specialists regarding headaches and rashes I was having for 2 months, I was sent back to Colombia to resume my duties as a Teaching English for Livelihoods Volunteer at a public school in Barranquilla, Colombia. However, my joy of returning was short lived and replaced by sleepless nights and limping. It all started with a game of soccer. An EPIC game of soccer.
My Pre-Approved & Then Rejected Article For Our Peace Corps Colombia Newsletter
The following is an article I pitched to a few of my fellow Volunteers that run "Oiste", Colombia's official Peace Corps Newsletter. My idea (which fully outlined what the article would contain) was pre-approved without reservations and submitted before the publication deadline. I was not contacted regarding it's status until I sent a follow-up message, after which I received two replies (portions of which appear below):
After reading your article, <xxx> and I have decided that, unfortunately, we are unable to publish it in Oíste. We value Volunteers' stories–both positive and negative–and consider Oíste a medium for sharing those stories. However, we feel that elements of your article amount to accusations, and Oíste is not the appropriate place for that kind of discourse. We want to promote constructive dialogue among Volunteers and between Volunteers and staff, and we have decided that your article would detract from the productive tone that we want Oíste to have. …..click here to read more
Taking Advantage Of The Hand You're Dealt. . . With Instruments
After traveling 19 hours on three planes, I've finally made it back to my guest family, public school and fellow volunteers in Barranquilla, Colombia. After being medically evacuated from my Peace Corps site last month, I spent three weeks in and around my home town of Woodward, Iowa, where I saw five doctors, got more blood drawn than a vampire can drink, and got a clean bill of health. And as an added bonus, on my way back I checked two full bags and more carry-on luggae than any normal person would dare to attempt. I brought back camera equipment, Twizzlers for my fellow volunteers and two musical items that should make the next two years well worth the $70 extra bag fee. …..click here to read more
Colombian Dancing Makes Me Feel Like I'm Disabled
Growing up in rural Iowa, I knew a few Mexican immigrants. Another small town near mine had a meat packing plant that brought many Latinos to the area. Sometimes when driving, I would hear a stereo blasting accordion music or something similarly foreign to my Midwest ears. I never saw people dancing in the street when this happened, but it was obvious these energy-filled tunes were meant for that purpose. However, little could I have imagined just how much dancing could take place with these songs, and how inept it would make me feel when I couldn't join in. …..click here to read more

Unhappy Customer
Posted by
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA -- Walgreens store: 3163
I went to this store in order to have some of my pictures restored and unfortunately came across a rude employee in the photo department. This is by far the worst display of customer service that I have experienced with Walgreens or any other store I have ever visited. I was using the self-service computer and had asked her what I needed to do next in order to progress with my order. She started by telling me that I needed to scan the pictures and rudely kept pointing to the machine as if I was somehow supposed to know exactly where the scanner was hidden. I asked her to show me instead of just pointing and she just kept repeating "there, there". I then realized that there was a drawer underneath the computer and opened it to scan the pictures. She then condescendingly stated "there you go" and advised me that I obviously had to scan the pictures in order to get them into the computer. After I scanned the pictures she then stood next to me and started rudely telling me how to operate the machine by saying "do this and do that" without explaining anything or making sure it was the way I wanted it. During this, there was another customer asking her to show her where an item was located and had asked her to get it for her as she seemed to have an issue that made it hard for her to get around. I was amazed how the employee told her that she would not get it for her and told that it was only a arms reach away and that the customer could easily get it herself. After this customer asked again and she would not do it, I took it upon myself to get the item for the customer. Then the employee came back to my machine and just started hitting buttons as if to quickly finish my order and rush me out of the store. I then advised her that I no longer wanted her help and eventually was able to get the order correctly into the machine myself. After I complained to her manager she told me that I didn't need to get upset about it and began telling me how the previous customer had been in the store for multiple hours and was just trying to be a nuisance, I told her that there was no excuse for treating someone the way she did. She than told me that I didn't know what she was going through or what kind of life she had as if to argue with me further. I advised her that this was none of my business and that no matter what; the customer should always come first. She than told me that she always treats every customer the same and would not be changing her ways anytime soon. She also stated that she had been there for a long time and no matter what, she would be there for a long time to come. I told her that I was amazed that Walgreens would keep someone for so long if that is how she treated all of her customers and asked for my claim check so I could leave. She proceeded to continue as if she had not heard me and after 5 minutes of this she finally gave me my claim check. I will never go to this Walgreens again.

Then you would have complained because she left you stranded at the machine while she was helping the other customer. If you don't know how to use a "SELF SERVICE" scanning machine, then you should have taken your pictures to a photo shop so someone could have done them FOR you.

You are pretty much contradicting yourself.
Ytropious on 01/10/2010:
OP you make no sense and you have no idea. She is the PHOTO LAB person, meaning she must stay at the photo lab. If another customer asks for her help she is not supposed to leave. This is not rude, this is how every retail establishment works. You wanted help and gosh, she gave it to you by HELPING YOU USE THE MACHINE. I don't see a complaint here. You're misinterpreting her as rude. You have no idea what rude is. It's sad you want someone fired because they helped you and you felt the need to complain. How terrible of you! Learn that everyone is different, and she may not have been the bubbliest person in the world, she certainly needs to work like everyone else.
Also, go look up "Aspergers" syndrome. A lot of Aspies come off as rude but they certainly don't mean it. They are just natrually shy people, and that can conflict with people like the OP who think everyone needs to be bubbly and happy. I'm willing to be this is what happened here.
localgod on 01/11/2010:
"I advised her that this was none of my business and that no matter what; the customer should always come first." Lose that thought, you believe the customer should always come first, the reality of it is that everyone cannot come first. Cross-departmental training cannot apply the fluidity necessary in the modern retail environment, not to mention the amount of man-hours to facilitate such training. Instead of the "customer is always right" mantra, I subscribe to Henry Ford's enlightenment, "The customer can have it any color they want, as long as its black."

You were using the self service machine. If you don't know how to work it, or read the instructions, then don't use it. Go to a normal lab and have them do it for you. YOU were the rude one. Nothing more needs to be said.
"I took it up on myself" And how fast would you sue if you got hurt butting your nose in?
PepperElf on 01/11/2010:
well it's a bit of wanting to keep your cake and eat it too
you wanted to use the self serve
but you wanted a lot of assistance
then you kept finding issues with the assistance
the other posters are right - perhaps you should use a full-service photo lab instead of a self-serve one
Yukiderawr on 01/30/2010:
I am sorry that she treated you that way. I work In a photo lab at the Walgreens I work at and I strive to do my best to help customers. The kiosks can be rather difficult to use so we are supposed to ask the customer if they need any help. I have had issues with rude customers when they can't figure out the machine. I just ignore the comments and try my best to help them. Unfotunelty not everyone is like that and not every Walgreens is like that. if you had a problem with her I would advise you to ask for a mangager and they will write her up for being rude to a customer. Trust me the head of photos at my store is rude and has been written up before.

I have had similar problems with this idiot of an organization. Mine problem was not related to the photo department, but I had to report them to the Better Business Bureau.

I guess my store is weird but..
Posted by
NORTH CAROLINA -- I'm not sure but I guess my store is weird. I love my job. Yeah there is ups and downs with management but they move them around so much it doesn't matter. At Walgreens I have an extra family, I work with my best friend and my boyfriend, both of which I met at WALGREENS! Well reunited sort of. But I felt that way before either of them worked there because everyone of the people I work/worked with I've held close to my heart. At Walgreens I feel heard, if I suggest something they actually listen. I'm encouraged to work hard and praised for it. I've worked there for four years now and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I would recommend working at Walgreens (or at least mine) to anyone, and have!
Have a great day, and be well

MAIDEN, NORTH CAROLINA -- I had gone to the Walgreens in Maiden Nc and went to the photo lab with some pictures of my brother that was killed in a motor cycle accident. I had ment to have the pictures done in my home town but forgot to when I got to Lincolton where the funeral was going to be held my sister asked me if I brought the photos of him. I said oh no I forgot to get them copied with the funeral being the next day I was alittle apprehensive on how I was going to get this done. I looked up Walgreen in the address of the closest Walgreens which was in Maiden Nc. I took the pictures there and the photo tech working the counter asked if she could help me. When she looked at my photos she told me that she couldn't print three of them because they were professional. My first thought was I drove to this store and they aren't going to print them. I was upaet and asked to speaak to someone. Heather called for her head photo which was on lunch and she came out I explained what was going on and she looked at the photos and explained that I needed a copyright from the photographer I said look I can't get this right now. She asked me to wait just a few minutes and she would try to contact the photographers. She told Heather to go ahead and scan the photos that I had so that if she was able to contact them I wouldn't have to wait even longer. She returned about five minutes later and told me that I would have t sign a waiver for a baby picture of him that she could not contact the photographer for. I waited about five minutes for the photos which she processed herself. Asked if I needed frames for them which I would have forgotten even put the pictures in the frames for me. The photos were even better than the originals. Carolyn made my hectic day alittle easier to cope with. I applaude this photo lab for first following companies (not trying to make the easy buck) and also giving me that little extra contomer service I needed. I appologised for her having to come off her break and she told me that was what she was there for to help customers and co-workers when they need it...

Walgreens lies about passport photos while you wait......
Posted by
Walgreens lies to you!
SUMMERVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA -- After work today I stopped at the neighborhood Walgreens to have a passport photo made as I am going to a country that requires a Visa. I work for the U.S. State Department. The young man who waited on me was a not very pleasant individual named Corey, who took my picture and told me a time that it would be ready. It was then 6:05 P.M. and he said it would be ready at 6:50 p. m., and he gave me a receipt to bring back which actually had 6:45 P.M. as the time. When I returned at the appropriate time, he acted like he had never seen me, and I gave him my receipt, and he did a quick search, then proceeded to tell me that someone had come in on line and requested about a hundred picture, and those were ahead of me and that my pictures would not be ready for at least another hour. I asked for the manager, and she was not concerned that Walgreens was losing a customer, so any of you State Department people who need passport photos, don't go to Walgreens, because they don't care about customer service, and they are liars.

office depot takes them with Polaroid and they are available in 2 minutes. Surprised Walgreens would print an actual photo.
Starlord on 01/26/2010:
I agree, passport photos take just a few minutes. It sounded to me as if you were there first. The difference between 6:50 and 6:45 isn't even worth worrying about, it is not a deal breaker.
PepperElf on 01/26/2010:
there IS one factor however ....
the OP might not have physically seen any customers in before her, however I just checked online and... Walgreens does have online ordering for photos.
it could be very possible that the other order actually came in first. I'm not sure if the printing is automatic or not from the online service.
also was there more than one person working there? if yes, that would also explain why he didn't know about the other order.
Vicky-pyon on 02/13/2010:
I don't work at photo, but one of the photo people @ the Walgreens I work at says she never gives special treatments. She says that it is always a first-come first-served basis... and it's only fair. I mean.. it may be true that you just went for only one photo and that it could have taken only 2 minutes minutes to print, but they might have already had a long list of orders to begin with... and not just because you have one order they'll skip all of those for you. I don't know if he might have been able to notify you before-hand of the long list of orders... and perhaps he miscalculated the time, I don't think I have an excuse for that. However, Photo doesn't necessarily have a '10 items or less' line... and you wouldn't appreciate your orders to be put off just because other customers ordered less items than you.
josiahdham on 02/16/2010:
This actually really surprises me. I work at Walgreens as a SIMS coordinator and I used to be a Photo Tech and really it takes 3 minutes to do a Passport. That was the individual person/store not the company.

Refusing to print my photos
Posted by
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS -- Walgreen's Location 410 W Cypress St. San Antonio, TX 78212
Don't Use Walgreen's photo service if there is a female working the counter. She feels that she is the best judge on photos that you need written permission to print photos. (probably lazy and trying to cut her work load.) They printed my photos before. (Same ones.) They may look professional but when the photographer is a friend and gives you the digital prints to do what you want. It's an insult to ask them to write a letter of permission. Liable? Why would they be liable for something I own. Going to CVS or HEB. They don't have a God complex.

If your friend is a professional photographer, then he/she should know you need permission to print photos. How is a Walgreens employee supposed to know that your friend gave you the prints to do what you want? They can't just take your word for it.

Oh that's nice, you're sexist. Did you happen to know that if you do not own the rights to the photo, you can not copy it? It's all about copyright law. Even if you have wedding photos taken by a pro, unless he signs over rights to you (usually for a fee but commonly offered) you can't even reprint your own wedding photos. Sorry, but your friend should have known that. Why in the world you have to drag the fact that it was a woman behind the counter is beyond me.
dan gordon on 06/12/2010:
that happened to me at Sams Club as well. They get in trouble for coypying copyrighted material so some stores are more cautious than others.
Hugh_Jorgen on 06/12/2010:
Dan is right - a lot of these photo labs are drilling this into their employees - when in doubt, refuse to print them. It's not worth the 12 cents they make on a digital print for the potential liability.
PepperElf on 06/12/2010:
it sounds like your friend had a copy-write embedded into the file perhaps - and that is indeed possible to do.
If your friend has given you permission to print these, I would recommend having him send you a signed letter stating that you indeed have permission to have the photos printed. Or have him do it himself.
If the store prints copy-written material they can be libel to very large fines - and just saying "well my friend said I could do it" does not provide the legal proof required.

I download mine onto my computer, and print them out on glossy photo paper using my HPPhotosmart printer. Comes out looking just like the ones hanging on the walls. Expensive print paper, so be careful to get it right. Plus, uses oodles of color and shortens the color ink cartridge's lifespan. But there are other options. This is just one of them.
Anonymous on 06/12/2010:
J4A, I haven't printed out pictures in years. I don't even have an inkjet printer anymore, just a laserjet (can anyone say OLD SCHOOL? by the way, that thing is a TANK).
Yeah, I'd have to use snapfish or go somewhere if I want hard copies of photos.
PepperElf on 06/12/2010:
hey I won't knock the laserjet printers. that's what we had at work
and they're known to last
now personally I don't need hard copies often.
the last time I did, I used the printer in the back of the classroom at college ... well the photography classroom ;)
for ordering special prints though sis's family uses shutterfly
and I think apple has services too.
chrisann on 06/29/2010:
If your friend is a photographer, they know plenty about copyright laws and release forms. Whether or not your friend is allowing you to do whatever you want with them, you still have to prove that you technically own the rights to the photos you are printing. Walgreens has policies that must be followed, though some employees know more than others--owning up to the fact that "they printed my photos before"--that employee probably didn't care to enforce Walgreens policies.
walgreens lady on 07/14/2010:
We always want to print more.
More print more money we get Paid
Walgreen's is no exception to the law
It is Federal Copyright Law If A photograph even looks professional we are To assume it is the risk is to great for us to take a chance
We cannot even print a copy of the original photograph
The copyright law goes 75-100 years back so even if the picture was taken in 1960 etc we cannot copy it.
If Walgreen's were to get sued they would have not hard evidence to back them up that's why we need the release form from the photographer
we cannot go to court on hear say we will lose and end up paying the lawsuit and federal fines. The Photo specialist will loose her job.
She did the right thing the LAW is the LAW. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW AS A CORPORATION WE TOO MUST FOLLOW
I have to say that if the employee printed them I would not say they dint care for the policy maybe they just did not catch it sometimes when it gets really busy they did not have time to look through all photos especially if you have a customer printing 500 prints for example
Peggy Rose on 02/19/2013:
I'M sorry but the copyright laws are fuzzy on old wedding pictures. I'm talking about photos that are 65 years and impossible to track the photographer. Walgreens' employees including managers, have a knee jerk reaction to duplicating them. I just went to a second Walgreens where I had no problem at all. After all I wasn't selling them!
Head photo Specialists on 08/13/2013:
It is a "Federal Law" the copyright issue.
We follow it because we don't want to get fired and fined, because Walgreen's audited by the government won't stay behind us!
It's been a law for over 30 years! So get your friend to give you a a permission form.
Would you like it if someone copied your stuff as photographer. Because this is how you make you living.
Read the form. If its a special circumstance like a death and you need to enlarge a professional picture, some of us will do it under that part of the law.
I had a grandpa that lost his granddaughter and he just wanted the little school picture enlarged to a 5x7 so he could look at it better. He was losing his site and it had been 20 years since her death. I did it. Had him sign off on it for that reason. That made me feel so good.
People come in from getting their photos at Walmart professionals and want more at our sale prices. It even says on the back of the paper that it is professional and copyrighted and they will lie about it!!
Some days I just hate dealing with these people!!!

Shocked by utterly disturbing private photos
Posted by
HUNTINGTON PARK, CALIFORNIA -- So my boyfriend took our 2010 Halloween photos to get developed at Walgreens and when I poped in the CD to see the contents I was disturbingly shocked...it contained disturbing private photos of a pregnant woman (not giving birth, although the newborn was adorable)they were odviously not mine. I really wish Walgreens could have done a better job with individual orders but now I'm scared with those images for life ..

Did you return the disturbing, private photo's back to Walgreens? I hope you were able to retrieve your OWN photo's, and that Walgreens, gets the photo's the images that have scarred you for life, back to their rightful owners.
Venice09 on 11/02/2010:
Not that it matters, but if the pregnant woman wasn't giving birth then how did you see the newborn?
If you stopped looking immediately when you knew the pictures weren't yours, I can't imagine you being that traumatized. Did you immediately stop looking?
I agree that Walgreens should be more careful.

Slimjim on 11/02/2010:
I agree with Venice. Why even look at other people's private pictures once you knew they weren't yours? Did you return them and get your own CD when all was said and done?

I know I'm a stickler for words, jabooty, so to me this meant that the OP saw THE newborn:
"it contained disturbing private photos of a pregnant woman (not giving birth, although the newborn was adorable)"
Perhaps the OP should have said "although newborns are adorable".
I was honestly confused by the OP's review.

What kind of scars can you get from pictures of a pregnant woman and a baby?
janyukes on 11/05/2010:
well when I poped in the CD I first saw pictures of a new born baby. then as I was scrolling done [which I scrolled down pretty quick avoding all other pics knowing they didn't apply to me but wanted to see how long the roll of pictures were...really didn't expect anything less of a baby album]but then glimpsed the preg woman nude n then of her posed on a bed n then a close up of a mans face [more than likely her man] between her legs.....doing stuff...all this was glimpsed in like 2 seconds and felt great shame for hours because its not somethihng I ever wanted to ever see. by the way I'm not a big fan of porn so I actually feel shame for that kind of stuff. I greatly respect peoples private moments and understand that women like to do "stuff" for their man...takes one to know one ^_^ but I would never want something like that at risk to be in the hands of perves how would have the odausity to publish on the net I hope I'm the only one who has this because I'm going to return it tomarrow since its my day off and yea if people are going to photo those kind of private moments a Digital cam is a must! I forgot mine at the time so had to inprovise with $10 at walmart across the street hahaha. thank you all for the comments and advice ;]

Janyukes, I'm not sure why you scrolled down or why you needed to know how long the roll was, but your reaction to the pictures is understandable. I don't particularly like seeing strangers doing private things either. Film like that should be developed at home because, as you said, in the wrong hands it could be a disaster.
jktshff1 on 11/05/2010:
Thanks for the update. Makes a little more sense now.
PepperElf on 11/05/2010:
Yes it was wrong that they mixed up the CDs. But as for the content... What other people chose to photograph is their OWN BUSINESS.
You knew these weren't your photos but you kept scrolling down to look. Technically you had no right to keep on looking. It doesn't matter that you wanted to see their baby - the photos weren't yours to look at.
The only people I feel bad for are the people who took those photos. They didn't deserve having their CD given to a stranger. Nor did they deserve to have someone purposefully pawing through the images just to be nosy.
janyukes on 11/07/2010:
well I guess u can say I should have stoped but I was hoping to see mine somewhere in there. I knew from the beginning that they weren't mine but I had to know if there was a possibility that my pictures could be in there at least somewhere at the end.

Complaint about 11 Palmetto Bay Walgreens 29928
Posted by
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA -- I order photos online and receive a receipt that the photos are ready for pick up. When I go there they are not ready and I am told to resend them and make another trip. This is the third incident. Someone in management needs to find a solution.

The solution is: don't get suckered a fourth time.
Zappo on 01/16/2010:
I have had a ton of problems with Walgreens, be it the pharmacy, the store, photos, the corporate office, or medical equipment they distribute. They are INCOMPOTENT in EVERYWAY. I suggest contacting the Better Business Bureau, since they HAVE TO REPLY in 30 days to the complaint.
Zappo on 01/16/2010:
PS -- I no longer patronize this USELESS company.
Yukiderawr on 01/30/2010:
You have to understand that sometimes technology fails not just people. If there computer does not receive information that an order has come in then there is nothing that the photo tech can do about it. The photo tech will receive a phone call when an internet order comes in. So it could be a problem with there computers or yours. I am not sure but if the photo tech does not receive an order then they really can not do anything about it.

Zappo, the BBB is not a legal entity and any company can and sometimes they do just blow them off. And no company HAS to respond at all.
jktshff1 on 01/30/2010:
Lady, I agree, but they are a legal business...it's just that they can't do anything more than post the complaints. They have no legal standing to enforce anything. You do just as well posting your complaint here.

When you submit a photo order on line, the order does not go directly to Walgreens. It first goes to an order processing center that has internet capabilities, then sent to Walgreens. Walgreens only has intra-net. Walgreens are connected to each other but not to the outside. If you have registered with your e-mail address you will get an e-mail confirmation letting you know that your order has been received and another one telling you your order is ready. And don't expect to get your photos in just the time it takes you to drive to the store. It takes time to download and then print.

25 photos (not) free with computer printer ink cartridge refill
Posted by
DALY CITY, CALIFORNIA -- On Friday, October 10, I had uploaded 25 images to the Walgreen's photo website, and requested the prints be routed to my local Walgreen's photo department. I presented the "free 25 photo with refill" coupon from a previous purchase. On Saturday, October 11th, I returned for my refilled ink cartridge and complementary photos. The clerk called the photo manager who stated that the images must be uploaded from a camera memory or photo CD in the store, only. Online images were(are) not allowed. I paid for my "free photos."

Did you look at the coupon before you presented it? If it didn't specify, I probably would have pushed the issue.

Photo looks like a professional
Posted by
I had the worst experience at Walgreens. I went to get a picture developed and they would not let me have it because it "looked" professional. It was on my memory card! The stupid photo clerk called the manager who comes over and gives me some lecture about how the store would be closed if he let me have this picture etc. He was so rude! I kept telling him it was not professional etc. He claimed I got it off the Internet. When he found out that it was on my memory card, he said OK you can have it. But, he continued to lecture me. I told him that he upset me by accusing me of this and that they lost my business and he goes:" I hear that all the time, and you will have this happen wherever you go". So, they say: You tell 10 people about a bad experience and 3 about a good one. Oh, and the picture is ruined. I cannot even look at it anymore.

Just curious: What was on the memory card? I have never heard of a photo lab refusing service because the photo looks professional. Walgreen should process the photo, no questions ask. Again, I like to know what was on the memory card.
*Brenda* on 06/02/2007:
Even if it is on your memory card it still could be a professional picture scanned or from a website.
What people don't understand is with copyright laws it doesn't have to SAY copyright on the photo. Stores still can get nailed, even if the photos aren't marked. I worked in a copy center for 4 years and had extensive training on this.
Of course, we had release forms that you could fill out that would indemnify the copy store and the copier where you could sign saying it was your photo. I guess Walgreen's doesn't have these or had problems in the past.
Sounds to me, if the manager was rude, he was just responding to your attitude. You don't sound too polite, saying "the stupid photo clerk" when she/he was just doing their JOB.
DebtorBasher on 06/02/2007:
The best thing to do would be to invest a little money in a printer that prints pics from those memory sticks and print your own pics. After all, that's all they do with them and they charge more for the little bit of time it takes to print. You would save yourself money and save yourself from experiences like that again...not to mention, the more people who print their own pics, the less business they would get.
Anonymous on 06/02/2007:
If you have a Costco upload your pic's -via- their web site and pick them up in an hour. Trust me Costco couldn't care less about the pic they are moving so fast.

No DB is not, you can't get the pro-grade print (at home) at the PRICE they can print at a DISCOUNT place like SAM's. If you were lucky enough to shoot an amateur photo that convinces a clerk to set off the copyright bell, take it as a compliment! You got to remember you're dealing with low wage "technicians" here. Ask for the manager, show them your chip, get in their face and tell them to make it right. You have to stand up for yourself a bit here.

petal, she's being a drama queen and means every time she looks at the picture she remembers the mean mean manager.
jktshff1 on 06/03/2007:
Good advise Debtorbasher.
you would think with a good camera, memory card, and apparently a computer she would have printed it herself. As for the quality, the photo paper available now, along with the photo printers, do as good a job and any walgreen's I've seen.
Starlord on 06/03/2007:
I was taking a mail course in police science, and was at the point where the lesson was setting up a 'crime scene' and photographing it with a disposable camera they sent. In addition to that, I took a roll of 35mm B/W and put a tag on the package when I sent it for processing that this was a simulated crime scene for an educational project. Apparently, the tag got separated. A technician at the lab pulled the film to check on the process, and ended up with several Phoenix PD and Arizona DPS officers, and the store where I had left the film was called. Really caused a stir. ROFLMAO
shawnp80 on 06/03/2007:
I think Pirate is 100% wrong.
DebtorBasher on 06/04/2007:
Pirate, if the posted did their own photos, they would also have the option to "edit" the photo before they print it. It doesn't take a professional to print professional pics these days. Of course it would depend on the program and photo paper you use. But, if you make a mistake, you can do it over, that's how you learn. You can correct your own mistakes without having to pay for those mistakes as you would by taking them in to be printed. We are talking about Printing photos, not developing film. Pirate is 100% wrong on this one therefore will be stripped of his one and only star!
msmass68 on 08/25/2007:
If a picture looks professional it most likely is. People always try to send pics through the internet to the store. Of course you get lovely school pics, senior pics, cruise photos. These are copyrighted and can not be printed. Whether you bought them or not they are owned by the photographer and have at least a 75yr copyright. If they weren't professional you should have asked for a copyright waiver they can print them for you and fill it out. It takes all liablitly away from Walgreens. These retail stores with photo labs can be fined millions of dollars. Google it ...its true
phototech on 09/08/2007:
I just want you all to know I worked at Walgreens for a lot of years and it doesn't matter if it is prof. or not we have the right to refuse to print anything we don't want to. Also it is a $750,000 fine and up to seven years in the federal pen PER IMAGE to both you as the customer who bought it and us the person who printed it. Why would we risk that so you can have your picture?! We have families and lives and for all you people to not take notice to that and see we are just covering our asses that's BS! Don't cause I sense at our counter because you are tryin to break the law. our places of work DO NOT back us on that, it is a PERSONAL fine WE have to pay on our own. So for your picture it could cost us $750,000 and 7 yrs in prison AND our JOB! IF other places are doing this they shouldn't be! and if you print them at home you think that makes it all better and you aren't breakin the law anymore?????? Yea think again it doesn't matter how where and why if you don't have a release and it is not 75 years since it was taken you broke the law. Not only is it our job you put on the line its money you take from the person who took that photo. And your at home printers aren't all that great any picture that goes through chemicals will last longer and have better colors. These are you memories why not get them done right? and if you compare the price of paper and ink for at home to sams or walmart it does cost more to print at home... Also if you crop your picture wrong or don't like the color or its to dark or whatever maybe try asking us in a nice way if we could fix it..how hard is it? Cause we can do more on our computers than you can on the machine never thought of that did ya? a little kindness gets you a long way....And don't bash us we get paid good money and most of us like what we do. I work for another place now and I love my job and I am damn good at it. And for the record Costco is more than Sams
JasonJD on 12/19/2007:
Retailers are getting nailed by the Professional Photographers Association of America on a regular basis and so corporate offices are threatening jobs at the store levels. A photo being on a memory card does not mean it was taken with your camera, I can save a copy of any photo online onto a memory card easily, they were doing their job, you owe that photo clerk an apology for calling him stupid because he didn't want to get fired for letting you have your way.
i_am_here_200 on 08/10/2009:
First of all, printing pictures from your home computer is nowhere near the quality you get from somewhere who develops those pictures on paper using chemicals and such. If you had googled the copyright laws before you posted this rant you might have noticed the hefty fine you can get and the jail time you can receive for printing pictures is a substantial amount and lately the PPA has been cracking down on this. The tech was simply trying to keep his job and the fine off of him and the store. If you are upset and not listening it can get aggravating, I've worked in retail and I hate when people would get an attitude with me for something that was beyond my control. Next time simply ask for a waiver that makes you liable for the fine, and take the fact that they thought you took a proffessional photo as a compliment!

They lost my wedding photos!
Posted by
DICKINSON, TEXAS -- They lost my sister-in-law's wedding photos, actually. My husband took pictures and brought the film to the Walgreens by our home to get black and whites done. The photo technicians sent it off to a lab in Dallas via courier. Weeks went by and no pictures. Dallas did not have them. They said they had never received them. The little pimply eighteen year old photo manager says he sent them with the courier. They courier swears up and down he never got them from Walgreens. So who is responsible here for my sister-in-law's lost memories? My husband blames himself for taking it to such an incompetent place with unqualified, ignorant people. We have never received an apology from the manager, but we did get offered two free rolls of film in lieu of the pictures. We declined. "Here, Dina, the only pictures of your special day are lost somewhere in the bowels of Walgreens, but we got you this nifty free film!" I am now a loyal customer of Eckerds.

First of all, who the hell are you calling somebody an idiot! You have no right first of all because your poor ass couldn't hire a professional! Walgreens is the best drug store around and we always make it a point to make the customer happy! You may not have received your photos but I am willing to bet you anything that the employee who took care of you did what he was supposed to. By the way there is no lab in Texas they are in st louis and Mississippi so next time get ONE HOUR so they do not leave the store and you can take your unhappy ass to Eckards because I am sure they will kill you by mixing prescriptions instead of photos.

A wedding is one of the most important events of a person's life. What kind of dunce would trust pictures that important to a place like Walgreens? Or any other drug or discount store for that matter. And it sounds like you are talking about ONE roll of film. Were you too cheap to shoot two or three rolls on the event of a lifetime? At least you would have gotten some of them back.
BuzzKiller on 12/14/2004:
You are a moron for having Walgreens handle something as important as wedding pics. Next time, why don't you just go complete white trash and use Polaroids.

Hmm that's funny because I do wedding pictures all the time in my lab......It depends on what store you go to.

I've never heard of sending a roll of film to an off-site lab. All of our rolls of film are done within the store. You suck!

Bartender beaten by drunken Chicago cop wins $850,000 verdict
BY KIM JANSSEN Federal Courts Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com November 13, 2012 5:30PM
Karolina Obrycka smiles after a federal jury awarded her $850,000 in compensatory damages against the city of Chicago Tuesday November 13, 2012. She was beaten by off-duty Chicago Police officer Anthony Abbate in 2007 at the bar where she worked as a bartender. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: December 15, 2012 6:27AM
His fellow officers painted him as a rogue cop — a violent drunkard whose isolated off-duty actions disgraced the Chicago Police Department.
But the City of Chicago itself and its police culture was to blame for Anthony Abbate's notorious videotaped beating of bartender Karolina Obrycka, a federal jury has found.
The landmark verdict against the city and Abbate means they will have to pay a stunned but delighted Obrycka $850,000 in damages.
It also establishes, her lawyers say, what police brass have denied for decades — that a "code of silence" protecting cops who commit crimes runs all the way from the street to the top of the police department.
"We proved a code of silence at every level in the Chicago Police Department," Terry Ekl said of the jury's finding that there was a "widespread and persistent" code of silence or policy of inadequately investigating police misconduct.
The verdict at the end of a three-week long trial marked a conclusion to a five year-long saga that had already seen Abbate convicted of aggravated battery and cost Phil Cline, the Police Superintendent at the time of the 2007 attack, his job.
The jury found that the police culture of impunity was "a moving force" in causing 265 pound Abbate to attack tiny Polish immigrant Obrycka as she worked behind the bar at Jesse's Shortstop Inn on the Northwest Side. Abbate attacked Obrycka in part because he believed that, as a cop, he would never be punished, the jury found.
Obrycka, who suffered post-traumatic stress disorder and problems in her marriage following the savage beating, appeared overwhelmed by her victory.
"I'm speechless," she said as she emerged from the courtroom. "I'm very happy that justice was served. It's finally over."
But Abbate — who was accused of threatening to plant drugs on Obrycka and her colleagues, and found to have illegally conspired with pals and fellow officers to try to get hold of the video of the attack before it went viral online — was relaxed enough to crack a joke.
Asked outside the courtoom where the $850,000 will come from, Abbate quipped, "I think I got a Visa card in my wallet."
In practice, Obrycka's attorneys say, it's the city that will foot the bill.
City attorneys — fearful that the verdict could open the floodgates for other claims against off-duty officers — aren't keen to do so.
In a statement issued by law department spokesman Roderick Drew, the city again placed the entire blame for the attack on Abbate, saying "The City of Chicago respectfully disagrees with the jury's decision that the city is responsible for Mr. Abbate's attack on Ms. Obrycka, and we intend to challenge that verdict through post-trial motions in the trial court, and if necessary, on appeal."
During the trial, attorneys for the city had attempted to limit the effect of embarrassing testimony from police officers, saying the "series of gotcha moments" was evidence of incompetence and bureaucracy, not a coordinated cover-up, as Obrycka's attorneys claimed.
But they faced an uphill task, given that Abbate wasn't charged with a felony for weeks, until around the time the video of the attack was released to the media.
Two officers who responded to the bar the night of the attack but failed to include Abbate's name, the fact that he was a cop and that there was a video in their police report, were taken in excruciating detail through video footage that clearly showed they were told all three facts within an hour of the beating on the second and third day of the trial.
And Deputy Chief Keith Calloway, detailed to attend a meeting with prosecutors a few days after the attack, vehemently testified that his officers never had Obrycka sign a misdemeanor complaint against Abbate, even though three officers and Obrycka herself stated otherwise.
Perhaps even worse, Debra Kirby — a high-profile cop who lead the Internal Affairs Division at the time — saw her account of the police probe of Abbate directly contradicted by a sergeant, and a top Cook County prosecutor who said Kirby never made a phone call pushing for felony charges against Abbate, as Kirby claimed.
Following the verdict Tuesday, Ekl called Kirby's actions "reprehensible," alleging she had directed a cover-up.
"If it was up to me, I'd fire her today," he said of the woman who now leads the police department's Bureau of Professional Development and was last year shortlisted to replace former Supt. Jody Weis.
But the city drew some comfort from the fact that Obrycka's attorneys dropped a conspiracy count against the city during the trial.
And Ekl's insistence that "change has to come from the Mayor's office" if the police code of silence is to be cracked was rejected by Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
"The Mayor is confident that Superintendent McCarthy and his leadership team have not, and would not, approve of, let alone participate in, a code of silence," spokeswoman Sarah Hamilton said in a statement.
"And to the extent there are members of the department who have a different view, the Mayor is confident that McCarthy and his team will deal with that."
For Abbate's part, his attorney Michael Malatesta said that the verdict was not a surprise.
"We've all seen the video," he said. "I think it was hard for the jurors to see past that."
And Ekl added, "Without the video there wouldn't be a case — Abbate would still be a police officer."

'Prime Picks'
Handicapping with Jeff Siegel
The Santa Anita autumn season concludes today with a mandatory payoff in a massive Pick-6 carryover of $1,335,505. First post is an hour earlier than usual at 12 noon.
The opener is a modest middle distance claimer that finds #2 Tuckers Point being raised a notch following a game score vs. bottom-rungers last month. His number was solid, so if the Carava-trained gelding can turn in two alike he'll be dangerous right back. #5 Woodman's Luck doesn't seem capable of winning – he has two victories and 16 seconds and thirds during his career – but he joins the Hess barn, switches to Desormeaux, and adds blinkers, so improvement is possible. He's certainly a strong fit on speed figures. #3 Squawk One is an interesting New Mexico invader with good tactical speed and numbers that aren't bad. We'll use all three in our rolling exotics.
The second race is a maiden special weight sprint for older fillies and mares; there are a few nice debut runners to consider but the one with the proven form – #5 Sky Mega – figures to be hard to beat. She missed by a head in a fast, highly rated affair here last month and really won't have to improve at all to graduate, assuming there isn't a monster hiding in the weeds. #7 Dancinthenightaway has done some good work in the morning for Glatt and is bred to win right now (Indian Charlie). She attracts Bejarano and looks live first crack out of the box. Both should be included in rolling exotic play.
#11 Bookworm will attract most of the play in the third race, a bottom-rung maiden claiming sprint, but you have to wonder why he's being thrown away after just two starts, neither of which were all that bad. He's a standout on speed figures but there's a condition question with the Baffert-trained colt, so there's very little value to be found at what surely will be a short price. You can single Bookworm in your rolling exotics and cross your fingers that he has one good one left, or better yet simply pass the race.
The fourth race is a first level allowance turf event at a mile and has two major players, both of which should be used in rolling exotic play. #5 Grachus the Hunter has improving speed figures and with another forward move today should be hard to deny. The Palma-trained gelding can be effective on the lead or from off the pace, so Desormeaux has some options, and with two nice workouts since his last race this sophomore gelding should be set for another big effort. We like him on top but we'll also include in our rolling exotics #8 Macho Sox, who ran well on turf at Del Mar when finishing second after cutting out the fractions and then came from slightly off the pace to win starter's allowance affair over conventional dirt at Los Alamitos. He's another with rising speed figures and a right to make another forward move today.
The fifth race is a good maiden two-year-old sprint that has several very nice prospects making their racing debut. We'll try to get by using three, but feel free to spread a bit deeper if you can afford to. #1 Just Kidding must overcome the rail but this first-timer brought $110,000 at Ocala in a two-year-old in training sale and certainly didn't attract that kind of bid due to his modest bloodlines. Smith rides for Eurton and if this colt leaves cleanly he should be able to make a run for it. #5 Dortmund was a $140,000 two-year-old purchase in Maryland and shows up in the entries with a typical blazingly fast Baffert set of workouts. The son of Big Brown looks dead fit and ready to roll. #9 Serbian Syclone, from the Miller stable, is another with a noteworthy set of workouts and many of these Miller-trained maidens at San Luis Rey Downs run better than expected. He brought $160,000 at Ocala and that's a rather significant amount of money for a son of Wildcat Heir. He was the fastest worker in the sale (9 3/5 seconds) so you have to expect he'll display much speed.
The sixth race is yet another unclassified affair with several promising juvenile maidens. However, the edge might go to a filly with some experience. #4 Meta Mu was off slowly in her debut and then closed with interest but much too late to make an impression in early June. She's been off since then but has worked nicely for here return for Mulhall and should enjoy the extended six and one-half furlong sprint distance. #8 Illuminant has worked like a promising sort for McCarthy and the daughter of Quality Road was impressive in her preview during the Ocala two year old in training sale in March. She looks plenty fit and ready to run. #12 Callback, a daughter of Street Sense, was burning up the track at Los Alamitos for Baffert and then came to Santa Anita and worked six furlongs in 1:11 2/5 from the gate. We'll use all three in our rolling exotics but in an unclassified field such as this nothing, really, would be surprising.
#2 Hugh Knew looks primed for a huge run in the seventh race, a starter's allowance affair on turf. The daughter of Henny Hughes, second off a Truman claim, has been a bit of a money burner lately but if she can avoid getting into a pace duel with the sprinter-stretching out #8 Ina Mina she should be able to handle this task. If not, #1 Q' Viva figures to be running on strongly late. The Tribal Rule filly has run well over this course in the past and in here present form should be able to get this trip. #11 Patriotic Brother – yes she's a filly – is lightly raced and improving and though stretching out and trying turf for the first time the daughter of Brother Derek seems like a trier and should be inconvenienced by these new conditions. All three should be used in rolling exotic play; we'll give #2 Hugh Knew a very slight edge.
The eighth race is an excellent allowance sprint for fillies and mares over seven furlongs and it would appear the main contention drew inside. #1 Global Hottie moves up a level while seeking her third straight win and her speed figures say she'll be more than capable of handling the task, assuming she can avoid any trouble from the real. She's not terribly fast leaving the gate but should be able to settle into a stalking position, and it this extended sprint distance we're expecting she'll produce the last run. #2 Lemon de Oro, a strong second in a similar spot at six furlongs, gets more distance to work with today and should enjoy it. She's another with rising figures and another forward move is likely. The edge goes to Global Hottie but both must be included in rolling exotic play.
The featured ninth race is the Goldikova Stakes over a mile on turf for fillies and mares; this is a very difficult affair with contenders top to bottom. Spread as deeply as you can afford to. #6 I'm Already Sexy likes the front end and when she gets it she can get very brave, as she was when winning a nice stakes at Kentucky Downs in mid-September. She arrives in peak form for Catalano and should inherit an ideal pace forcing or prompting position. #4 Strathnaver exits the Grade 1 Flower Bowl and was in too tough; she's not overmatched against this group and with her best effort could be dangerous from off the pace under Bejarano. #1 Filimbi likely will enjoy a nice ground-saving trip from the rail and a repeat of here Del La Rose Stakes victory at Saratoga three runs back makes her a solid fit in this league. These are the three we'll be using – maybe a slight preference should go to I'm Already Sexy in a very difficult affair.
The finale is a maiden special weight extend sprint that may boil down to just two. #11 Alfa Bird ran too good to lose when nosed out here last month and ran equally as well when second in his debut at Del Mar. The numbers in both races were strong, so this son of Birdstone will take some beating. #5 Little Curlin was getting closer with each outing and his speed figures were rising when this sophomore colt last seen in February. If he returns as well as he left, or perhaps better, the Hollendorfer-trained colt will provide strong competition.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has nominated Sen. John Kerry as his next secretary of state, saying Kerry's entire life "has prepared him for this role."
If confirmed, the Massachusetts Democrat would succeed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in Obama's second-term Cabinet.
Clinton did not attend the Roosevelt Room announcement. She's recovering from a concussion sustained in a fall.
Obama said Kerry's political career and service has established him as a respected American voice around the globe. Obama said Kerry will not need on-the-job training. Kerry has served as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and is a decorated Vietnam veteran who was critical of the war effort when he returned home to the U.S. He has represented Massachusetts in the Senate since 1985.

Fulham's troubles continued as Jonjo Shelvey's late strike handed Swansea City a 2-1 victory at Craven Cottage.
A fortuitous Scott Parker effort just after the hour looked to have earned Fulham a 1-1 draw, but Shelvey weaved through the home defence and buried the ball into the top corner with 10 minutes left to end Swansea's three-game winless streak in the Barclays Premier League.
The hosts created the better of the first-half openings with Darren Bent twice going close, but Fulham fell behind to Aaron Hughes' own goal early in the second half. Fulham drew level when Parker's cross-shot found the far corner, but they were consigned to a fourth straight league defeat by Shelvey's 20-yard drive.
After a lacklustre opening, Bent could have handed Fulham the advantage, first heading wide when unmarked at the far post before then rifling an effort against the post. Swansea improved in the second half, though, and found the breakthrough on 56 minutes when Hughes turned in Jonathan de Guzman's cross. Fulham bounced back, however, and restored parity nine minutes later with Parker's fortunate strike but Shelvey had the final say with his fine solo goal late on.
Bent and Bryan Ruiz were restored to Fulham's starting XI after the 4-0 defeat by Liverpool last time out, while Michel Vorm returned from suspension for Swansea.
After a slow opening, the visitors began to settle and almost took the lead in the 25th minute when Roland Lamah's effort deflected off Hughes and nearly crept in with Maarten Stekelenburg wrong-footed. Having seen off that danger, Fulham had a spell of pressure and should have gone in front soon after when Parker's perfectly weighted cross was met by Bent at the back post, only for the striker to head wide.
Swansea were again let off the hook as Bent hit the woodwork just after the half-hour mark. The ball sat up perfectly for the striker on the right side of the box and his half-volley rebounded off the post. But the hosts could have been punished for their profligacy three minutes before the break. Derek Boateng was caught in possession by Jose Canas, whose through-ball found Nathan Dyer, only for the winger to shoot straight at Stekelenburg.
Swansea upped the tempo in the second half and took the lead 11 minutes after the interval. A quick free-kick led to De Guzman drilling in a low cross that was inadvertently bundled home by Hughes.
Their lead was short-lived, however, as a short corner was played to Parker and his attempted cross took a deflection and found the top corner after evading Canas on the line. But Michael Laudrup's men were not to be denied and restored their advantage when Shelvey held off two challenges before firing into the top corner to earn Swansea their first league success since a 4-0 win over Sunderland October 19.
Fulham manager Martin Jol: "Darren Bent could have scored a hat-trick and we should have been up, but it didn't happen. The own goal was tough on us and we could have been up at half-time.
"If you don't score, you can't win games. They had players missing and we had the chance to beat them. You have to take the opportunities in this league and we didn't. All the hard work we've done in the last two weeks we haven't built on it.
"I want the fans to realise that Swansea are a good team and we were unfortunate. A win would have put us above them and it was close."
VIDEO: Watch Martin Jol's press conference >>
Swansea manager Michael Laudrup: "Another win away is always difficult wherever you play and especially this time. It was so important for us today. Apart from that though we played very well and I think it was well deserved.
"In difficult moments, it is important to get points and we kept our way of playing. It's not always easy when you have added pressure so I have to congratulate the team.
"We scored good goals and we had chances for more but even without looking through biased eyes, we deserved it."
Manager: Martin Jol

Nagin has been no stranger to controvery. In January 2006, then-New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin delivered a controversial speech that came to be known as "the chocolate city speech." (Scroll down to view the video of his comments.)
In that speech on MLK day, Nagin described the problems faced by the city, in particular the challenged facing the black community.
The following comments caused a media sensation: "We as black people, it's time, it's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild a New Orleans, the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans. And I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day."
The comments garnered mostly negative reviews from around the city and region. Nagin also caused controversy by stating in the same speech: "God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country....Surely he doesn't approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses. But surely he is upset at black America also. We're not taking care of ourselves."
Click the window below to view the full video of Nagin's comments. (The 'chocolate city' comments are at the 6:15 mark.)

Visitors to the MVRDV pavilion will learn about the oceans by interacting with this user-friendly cube, which – as our friends at Evolo pointed out – looks a lot like an oversized aquarium. After accessing the center of the exhibit, users can navigate the individual basins that can even be illuminated for closer learning. The cube is wrapped in double-layer load-bearing glass walls with integrated structural support that can hold the heavy water basins while also providing excellent insulation.
As usual, there is a sustainable element built into MVRDV's design. In addition to being naturally ventilated as a result of each basin's stacking effect, water purification and seawater cooling technology have also been incorporated into this fascinating design. By the time visitors leave the exhibit, they will have a much better understanding of how the world's oceans impact our global climate and therefore why it is so necessary that we protect them.

Bentley Continental GT V8 brings the motor to Motor City
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Jan 9th, 2012 at 4:01PM
Bentley has at last debuted its latest beast at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The Continental GT V8 arrived in the Motor City boasting a new compact 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 under its hood. With 500 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque on tap, the ultra-luxury coupe offers buyers heaps of performance in an efficient package. Well, efficient by Bentley standards, anyway. The company says the Continental GT V8 has an effective range of 500 miles, which translates to roughly 21 mpg. That's not a Prius-besting figure by any stretch, but it's far from embarrassing given the... Read More

County Clerk accuses Cicero officials of using employees to help re-elect Dominick
BY STEFANO ESPOSITO and ROSALIND ROSSI Staff Reporters February 18, 2013 11:54AM
Article Extras
Updated: March 20, 2013 6:25AM
Cook County Clerk David Orr Monday accused Cicero town officials of "improperly — and possibly illegally" — using town employees to advance the campaign of Cicero Town President Larry Dominick and others on his slate.
In a letter to Town of Cicero attorney Michael Del Galdo on Monday, Orr contended that over the weekend, "uniformed employees of the town'' knocked on voters' doors and "questioned them about their voting intentions or actions.''
"This could easily be construed as an attempt at voter intimidation,'' Orr wrote in the letter. "You and your clients are entitled to gather information regarding any aspect of an election, but no campaign is entitled to use the resources of the Town in the process.''
Disclosure of Orr's letter came after U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-4th), and Dominick challenger Juan Ochoa held a news conference to demand that Orr and State's Attorney Anita Alvarez investigate complaints that uniformed town employees in marked cars were showing up on the doorsteps of Latino Cicero voters and telling them that voting by mail was illegal.
Cicero town officials contend the uniformed community service officers were investigating the possibility of mail-in ballot fraud in the upcoming Feb. 26 election after the number of absentee Cicero voting applications shot up this election — from 400 previously to about 2000 — and some applications were registered to vacant lots and boarded up homes.
"We sent these people in there because after dealing with Orr's office for four weeks, he said in order for us to have a complaint, we'd have to have the evidence and we'd have to collect it,'' Cicero spokesman Ray Hanania said. "We didn't ask anybody who they voted for. We asked, 'Did they request an absentee ballot?' ''
Gutierrez called the effort part of an attempt to "disenfranchise" Latino voters, who can vote by mail without giving a reason for being absent from the polling place after a 2010 change in the law. Ochoa has been urging Cicero residents to use this new flexibility that's available to all voters.
On Monday, Gutierrez, who supports Ochoa, beseeched Orr and Alvarez to come to Cicero and protect it from the town's "infamy of corruption.''
"We need to see you. You need to come here to Cicero," Gutierrez said.
In a separate news conference Monday afternoon, Orr said his office has received numerous complaints from all sides in the election, many of which have been passed on to the state's attorney's office and the U.S. Department of Justice.
Jan Kralovec, director of elections for Cook County, said the town was told they needed to collect signed affidavits if they believed voter fraud was occurring.
"If you want to collect info, it's on you," Kralovec said the town was told.
But county officials did not expect the town to collect information in the manner it has, Orr said. As he phrased it in his letter Monday, "We could not have imagined that your clients would improperly — and possibly illegally — employ Town resources and employees to advance their campaigns. This mixture of political campaigns and Town authority is improper on its face.''
Hanania bristled at the Ochoa campaign's suggestion that Cicero employees were harassing town residents over the weekend. "This idea that we were bullying people is ridiculous," Hanania said.
Hanania said Cicero officials informed the correct authorities about multiple incidents of suspected voter fraud but didn't get any cooperation.
Orr "told us that we needed to go out and get evidence of vote fraud," Hanania said. "We had to go out there, not him, not the county...That's exactly what we did."
Asked if his office told Cicero officials to go to voters' homes, Orr responded: "Absolutely not true."
The intent of the visits makes a big difference, Orr said.
"The problem is the law is not clear there," he said.
"Even if you argue the intent is good in what they're trying to do, it's being 'misused'," Orr said, adding that he could see how people could view it as intimidating.
Orr said his office doesn't have the authority to stop town officials from going door-to-door, which is why the complaints have been passed on to the state's attorney and Justice Department.
Hanania also repeated the accusation that the Ochoa campaign relies on gang members as campaign workers, a charge Ochoa has called "a complete and utter lie."
