My daughter’s Japanese passport needs to be renewed. Our state does not have the office to renew a passport, but luckily our neighbor state of Consulate-General of Japan comes to our state twice a year for the service. We needed to take a passport photo for the application. We always take a passport photo at Walgreen. There at Walgreen, the worker told us that they don’t have the service of a passport photo in the store anymore after the Covid-19 pandemic. The worker told me CVS might still have the machine. So, we went to CVS. There at CVS, the worker told us they don’t have the photo machine working anymore neither. The worker kindly informed us that UPS or Staples might still offer the service. So, we went to the UPS store. There at the UPS store, the worker told us that they still offer the passport photo service. We were happy that we finally could get it over with.
I never expected that I would have a tough time to find a store that still offers the passport photo service. This tiny event again made me realized that the global pandemic has changed lots of our everyday activities.
