I’m sorry, you can’t take pictures of the conveyor belt
I’m tired of getting glares/odd looks/rude questions when I take pictures of food that i’m personally eating and that i’ve personally paid for. But I never thought that I would be asked to put my camera away.
Today, I was not allowed to take pictures of the conveyor belt at a sushi joint. This isn’t a high class sushi place we’re talking about here. This is a college kids walk in in their sweats and parents bring kids in their strollers sushi place. There’s little shwanky about it yet I was abruptly denied. Has anyone ever been told not to take pictures of food and or anything inside of an eating establishment before? And no, I wasn’t being obnoxious with my camera.

Yes, this has happened to me too. One time the manager of a restaurant got quite upset. But this doesn’t happen too often inside food places. Usually it’s museums, train stations, places like that. But getting yelled at is all part of the photographic experience. It’s a badge of honor.

Telling someone to put their camera away is one thing, telling someone to do so and then getting upset about it is just ridiculous…wow. Train stations? Musuems I might be able to understand…but in a place of transportation?

Yes, they say it’s because of terrorism. I got in trouble the other day. Oops.
