I had an example of this just the evening before yesterday. I wanted to get a picture printed at Wal-Mart but I couldn't find any of my USB drives. Then I noticed that it is possible to upload a pic to the store online and get it printed at your local store that way. Great I thought. Well I uploaded the pic, picked the size and # of copies I wanted and placed my order. I got a receipt that said it would be ready at 10 am yesterday (Oct. 18th) at my store. I had to get some meds refilled and figured I could get the pics at the same time. Wrong! They had no record of the purchase at the store much less the pics even though I got there around 11 am. The sales lady checked online and it will probably be several weeks before I get the pics. So what good does it do to give me a receipt that says they will be ready by 10 am on Oct 18th? Not a big thing at only .40 with tax but come on if you promise a buyer something with a specific date and time especially something so minor (that required no shipping of physical goods) shouldn't you be held to keep your promise?
