[Sorry not the most helpful reply] I would recommend just avoid using a small store lab. There is no way they are getting enough business now to keep the machine clean and in good working order. You will find it very common now to have scratches and damage on the negatives due to this being caused by less maintenance to the machine than is necessary.
(Assuming they are using one of the common Fujifilm machines which drag the film through the chemical bath's, which I have personal experience with)
My thoughts exactly. The only one hour processing I use is done in the kitchen sink.
