They think you are a secret agent for Tully's spying on their latest decor

I had the same thing happen in the Gap some time back. Store displays and
layouts and decor is really considered part of what the store 'owns' and
they don't like it being shot.

You could try explaining you are shooting people, not the store. It could
work. In my case I was shooting a stack of jeans so I really couldn't get
away with denying anything...................
