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.
好市多將於下個月關閉其所有約800家門店照片中心，結束一些顯然帶有懷舊情懷的服務。
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.
該中心將於2月14日關閉，屆時將不再提供四項服務，包括墨水補充服務、護照照片拍攝服務、照片修復服務以及將家庭錄像帶從VHS磁帶轉移到DVD或USB設備上的服務。
However, Costco isn't shutting down its online photo center.
然而，好市多並沒有關閉其在線照片中心。
Customers can still print photos and access other perks on Costco's website, the company said.
該公司表示，顧客仍然可以在好市多的網站上列印照片並享受其他福利。
Costco (COST) didn't immediately reply about the closures.
目前好市多還沒有立即回復關於關閉的消息。
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.
但據報導，一家圖片博客獲得了好市多寄給客戶的一封信，信中解釋說，自從智慧型手機和社交媒體上引入高質量相機以來，「列印照片的需求急劇下降」。
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.
照片中心曾經是雜貨店和藥店的主打產品，但隨著越來越多的人選擇在網上分享照片，而不是列印出來，照片中心已逐漸消失。
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.
這也是好市多在過去一年中實施的更廣泛改革的一部分，包括限制其他部門的人員數量，比如視訊或助聽器部門，還有一些因為疫情新增的當地法律規定。
Notably, it also stopped selling its iconic half-sheet cakes last year.
值得注意的是，該公司去年還停止銷售了其標誌性的半層蛋糕。
