Do people working in a lab look at the pics they develop?

This is a really hot thread to read. As one who use to use the one hour photo often lol. Would love to hear more stories of all the others here

We took a LOT of 35mm, and as we never did anything like kiddie that we worried about being illegal, I would just take the rolls of film to convenient developers, many rolls to a Photomat in a parking lot, and after that closed to whatever grocery was handy, Safeway, Kroger etc who all had drop boxes and would turn your film into prints in 24 to 36 hours. I just never worried about it, and probably got thousands of prints back.
We liked to share what we had taken, so always got double prints, and early realized that glossy prints could give an interesting result - really good sets would come back with a lot of fingerprints on the better photos. Guys were obviously taking them somewhere to look at, away from the work area where they would be wearing gloves.
Often we would get not just double prints but triple of the less interesting shots, but only doubles of the hottest ones. Not only where guys looking through them but keeping some for themselves. I'd not be surprised if they sometimes printed triples or more and kept all but the doubles that we got back.
We found the whole circus to be pretty exciting, and always eagerly examined what we got back for evidence of the photo folks having their own fun!

This makes me wonder that all stories are about nude girlfriends. I would have enjoyed having nude pics of me being processed by young ladies and picking them up myself

You're a horny teenager, you have to sit in this hot booth in a grocery store parking lot, there are dozens of envelopes of pictures, they are not sealed. Yes, I guarantee I looked at every pic that went out of there. Mrs. Benning, you were my favorite.

I sure hope not. My dad had two giant scrapbook binders completely filled with lingerie and soft nude pics of my mom in the 1990s that my parents had in their closet. I've always wondered the answer this question.

My sister told me she asked my mom about it about 10 years ago. And my mom basically said they had no idea in the 90s the internet would become what it did so they didn't worry about who saw or had copies of those photos - but said she wouldn't do it again knowing what she knows now.
