  1. Trying to take a baby passport photo. Good to know I have a backup career option at the DMV.

      Brought properly composed baby passport photo to Walgreens. They refused to print it because it didn't exactly match their app guidelines.

        Brought it to Target. Their kiosk won't print 2x2 photos and is unstaffed.

          Took photos to CVS. Initially they said they couldn't help, as they didn't have a camera for the passport service advertised on the wall.

            CVS's kiosk was fine with our photo. They apologized for having to charge us the full $14 for passport photo service.

              We asked if they could cut out the ID photos. The cashier said ok. The photo tech, however, refused. He said it was illegal.

                When I pressed, he said that if they didn't shoot the photos, it would violate copyright for them to cut them.

                  The cashier whispered that we should call corporate to complain and then told the photo tech she'd already charged us for the service.

                    The photo tech told her that she needed to void the transaction and told us to take the uncut photos and leave.
