It depends on the lab.
My Dad did an experiment for his photo club, using the local lab. He
shot two rolls of film, each a duplicate series of shots, bracketed some
+/- 3 stops. He had one roll developed in the normal consumer fashion
with the compensation at printing intact. The other was developed
normally, but printed without compensation.
The point of this exercise was to show the effect of modern processing,
and the fairly amazing latitude of modern C-41 films. But it does imply
that even a friendly local shop might stop the print-time compensation
if you ask nicely.
