I know that they offer HUGE incentives/kick-backs to schools and other organizations to get their business - something a smaller company or individual could never afford to do. But they deliver crap and people keep on buying!!
One of the "questionable business practices" I mentioned happened to my sister. Her daughter (5 years old) had their "Fall Picture Day" done with no notification to the parents during the 2nd week of school. Then, when the photos came back, the kids were given the photos and a bill to give to their parents to pay. Well, most of the kids handed out some wallet photos to friends before making it home, so the parents (my sister included) felt that they had to pay for the images - even though they didn't order them!! Pretty questionable and, I think, unethical.
