"Regarding Walmart, while you are right about the equipment you are not taking into account the operators. My local Walmart and Sams simply do not run and maintain the equipment as well as a good lab does. I doubt they check the chemistry and I know they never sharpen the cutter."

That is a good point...LOL, on both occasions. I have never used Walmart, so I am not sure about their printing ability. I use Adorama for most of my work, which is down the street. I have used the local CostCo for personal stuff that I want on the cheap, and found inconsistent results.

Having said that, I still stand that the judge doubled the plaintiff's award only because he disliked (the admittedly dislikable) defendants...and I don't think that is right.
