For the purpose of applying for USA visa, I took a photo in a store which is located in Internet Headquarters Cafe.
After I paid as requested, I took a picture for USA visa. The picture I got through Email looks terrible. As we all know, the first impression matters. I asked for taking the picture again. The boss agreed. Then, when I called to ask when I could get my picture through Email. The response did surprise me. I was told that unless I pay 15$ extra so that they could do some adjustment to the picture, otherwise the picture I took will not get approval of USA visa. I regarded it as threatening.
The purpose of taking picture is to apply USA visa , which I have made it crystal clear before I took picture, in other words, I have paid for the service before I receive the service. Then the store asked for extra charge for no reason or through threatening. It is totally unacceptable cheating.
For example, If we need to go to the another side of river, then we pay before we get on the boat. When we are on the boat and in the middle of the river, we are told that we have to pay extra because the wind is too strong, otherwise we have to be thrown into the river. What do we think?
Besides, I did not find any license posted in the store. I am not sure if they are qualified to provide photo service. Also I doubt if they have any appropriate authorization or license to provide photo service.
Finally, I did not get refund, did not get picture I need. Instead, I have to go to other store to take picture again.
