Yea, the employees all had a celebration.
In the end, the owner actually gave me a small raise (nothing close to what he paid that manager) to do his job as well as mine. I worked a lot of long days back then.
It was eye opening to see people that were hired as professional dark room technicians were competently clueless. I had to show some of them the same thing several times.
They each were assigned a 8x8 foot darkroom with a 4x5 professional grade enlarger. Get a work order and print a color print from the negative in the work order that size the customer requested. It is something that was second nature to me after most of a lifetime of doing it. It was black magic to some of them. No safe light needed. Make a print the size of a locket or a 4 foot x 12 foot. Just get it printed and look perfect.
Now days it is super easy with computers and inkjet printers. Almost like cheating it is so easy.
