Can you buy film or new film cameras any more?
Costco quit carrying them some time ago. I just checked Wal-Mart,
they list 4 film cameras, they all look like crap and none of them are
in a store within 100 miles of here. My guess is that many stores are
going to sell off their remaining inventory and then not carry them
anymore.

Several months ago a local Rite-Aid wouldn't accept my Kodak 35mm
cassette, saying that they only processed Fuji's and their own
Rite-Aid brand film. I didn't argue, but took the film to another
Rite-Aid about a mile away that had no such problems.

Rite Aid is known for hiring dummies and your Rite Aid go one from outside the standard deviation. All of these films take the same process.
The prints
turned out OK, despite having been in the camera for some unknown
amount of time, possibly several on up to 10 years. To rewind and
get the film out of the camera I had to replace its long dead
lithium battery.
