Depeneding on the equipment that the WalMart has, it could be the
culprit.  Canadian (and gradually US) WalMarts use Fuji Frontier or
other digital systems that do a FAR better job that the older analog
1-hour labs used to do.

Is it possible for you to post a few of the photos online so that we
can have a look and maybe make better-educated guesses at what it
might be?
