好市多关闭线下照片打印店

Costco is closing its photo centers at all of its roughly 800 stores next month, ending a number of services that have a decidedly retro vibe.

好市多将于下个月关闭其所有约800家门店照片中心，结束一些显然带有怀旧情怀的服务。

Four services will no longer be available to shoppers when the centers will shut down on February 14, including ink refills, the ability to take passport photos, photo restoration and a service that transferred home videos from VHS tapes to DVD or USB devices.

该中心将于2月14日关闭，届时将不再提供四项服务，包括墨水补充服务、护照照片拍摄服务、照片修复服务以及将家庭录像带从VHS磁带转移到DVD或USB设备上的服务。

However, Costco isn't shutting down its online photo center.

然而，好市多并没有关闭其在线照片中心。

Customers can still print photos and access other perks on Costco's website, the company said.

该公司表示，顾客仍然可以在好市多的网站上打印照片并享受其他福利。

Costco (COST) didn't immediately reply about the closures.

目前好市多还没有立即回复关于关闭的消息。

But a letter obtained by a photo blog reportedly sent from Costco to its customers explained that the "need for printing photos has steeply declined" since the introduction of high-quality cameras on smartphones and social media.

但据报道，一家图片博客获得了好市多寄给客户的一封信，信中解释说，自从智能手机和社交媒体上引入高质量相机以来，“打印照片的需求急剧下降”。

Once a staple at grocery stores and pharmacies, photo centers have become increasingly extinct as more people choose to share their photos online rather than print them out.

照片中心曾经是杂货店和药店的主打产品，但随着越来越多的人选择在网上分享照片，而不是打印出来，照片中心已逐渐消失。

It's also part of broader changes implemented at Costco over the past year, including limiting the number of people served at its other departments like in optical or hearing aids because of local laws due to the pandemic.

这也是好市多在过去一年中实施的更广泛改革的一部分，包括限制其他部门的人员数量，比如视讯或助听器部门，还有一些因为疫情新增的当地法律规定。

Notably, it also stopped selling its iconic half-sheet cakes last year.

值得注意的是，该公司去年还停止销售了其标志性的半层蛋糕。
