“Take photos of the man and of the employee and post them on Instagram and Facebook.
Then buy your coffee elsewhere.”
Retweet.
Not so;

Street photography has a First Amendment “out”. For now, unless someone wins a case the other way.
Its an interesting area of controversy, but street photography is still legal and a very active thing in the US. Check it out.
So glad to be a "deplorable" in fly-over country.
I'll suffer my lack of "cultural enrichment". d;^)
