Sorry, I refused to pay the extra $10 bucks for a phone w/camera.
I tried to take a friend’s picture in Harrods Food Court once and I thought they were going to arrest me.
They brought this on themselves by asking several times to “speak with the mall manager”. Sometimes, when you are dealing with a low life bully, you just say, “Oh, sorry. I didn’t know... won’t do it again” and watch the low life go away. Case closed. Continuing a conversation with a moron is simply inviting trouble.
Normally I prefer to use a better camera when photographing people, but I frequently use my cell phone camera while shopping. It's great for taking a picture of an item and emailing it. There are also cell phone applications for using the camera to scan bar codes on merchandise.
So does the mall prohibit stores in the mall from having security cameras that take pictures of people inside their stores? I doubt it.
Simon Property Group is an S&P 500 company and the largest real estate company in the U.S. The Company owns or has an interest in 392 retail real estate properties comprising 262 million square feet of GLA in North America, Europe and Asia. Simon Property Group is an NYSE listed company (NYSE: SPG).
There's the real problem. It's not a locally owned and operated business.
Do you really think the stockholders in the this company that owns "392 retail properties" know about this policy? The CYA management that probably accounts for much less than a majority of the stock owners is responsible.
I meant to say, "less than a majority of stock ownership".
Crowing and yelling?
I just pointed out not everyone has a cellphone and not every cellphone has a camera.And by the way,not everyone shops at Walmart.
Even if 95% of people have a camera-equipped cellphone bought at Walmart my statements are still not wrong.
Some people think the words “most” and “every” mean the same thing;they do not.
Several years ago I was visiting a company in San Diego on business. They had hired two Russian contract computer programmers. We ate at the deli in the building two days in a row. The second day a deli employee remembered my colleague's name and he was very impressed. One of the Russians said if she had remembered his name it would have scared him to death.
It has to be terrible living in a society like that but as this story illustrates, we are rapidly approaching that.
Is that one of those top secret spy malls? no wonder you cant take pictures.
