Response to Push/pull development for C-41 films?

LOL.;^0
Sorry, but if you think that an automated lab is going to give your C41 film special treatment, you need a bit of a reality check.
Your film is stuck in the middle of a long chain of films that get dragged through the machine at a fixed rate. The machine does one standard process for all the films fed through it, that's it.
In fact, it's becoming common practise for high street labs to overdevelop C41 slightly. This gives a higher contrast and colour saturation, which pleases the unwashed masses. The fact that the colour is unrealistic and the highlights are unprintable doesn't seem to bother the average punter.
