An yone that has their flm processed in a minilab deserves what they get.
There is no replenishment, and no running water. Chemicals are essentially
run to exhaustion. The supplier gives a estimated time for renewing the
chemistry, and the lab rats/cheap help is supposed to bring on fresh wash
water regularly, but it is much cheaper to just let things go.
