Default Color shift having prints done at Walgreens / Target

Hello all,
Strange: I have some images I recorded in the D70 Adobe RGB ---- then got them
where I want them in PS CS2, Adobe RGB, and looking at them they look good.
Then I took them on the compact flash to Walgreens, and ..... they looked great
on the preview screen, you know on that card reader do-it-yourself machine
thing.
BUT when I got them back, they had an overwhelming green tint/cast to them. Of
course I wasn't charged for them...

And the guy said that his preview window on the big printer press machine showed
them looking correct too. Somewhere in the printing they went green.

Took them to Target.... same results, not as green, but still green.

The images are he http://www.hightidemediagroup.com/verytemp/Allison.jpg
and http://www.hightidemediagroup.com/verytemp/Lauren.jpg

Thanks so much for any ideas / solutions!!!

On my monitor, Allison appears a bit too green.
Perhaps the surroundings were predominantly green and reflected light
which actually affected the color of the light reaching the subject.
Alternately your own monitor may not be calibrated correctly and adds a
slight magenta cast compensating for the real "too green" output.
Do all of your prints have a greenish cast?
I'd try pinking up the images a little with your photo editor.
