So, we got our kiddo's preschool #photos from corporate mega-#portrait outfit Lifetouch today.
We paid almost $40 for a handful of prints-- and they had the gall to still watermark them with their corporate logo!
To Lifetouch's credit, #CustomerService quickly issued a refund via webchat when I explained we'd never have bought them if we'd known.
But I'm still blown away that people are apparently cool paying for logo'd images like this!
