6. If you use a "department store" studio such as Wal-mart or Sears, why do you use them?

If you use a "department store" studio such as Wal-mart or Sears, why do you use them?   I'm familiar with the way they work. I know it's fast and cheap. I don't mind the typical portraits you get from them. I don't need to make an appointment to be seen. I need lots and lots of the same print.
