[Leica] Banning of photography?

[sonc.hegr at gmail.com (Sonny Carter)]

It has been pretty comm0on to not allow photography in Groceries for some
time.  I've never seen a sign, but have been asked to cease.  Once was in a
Brookshires here in Natchitoches.  After I had explained that I was shooting
for an educational program, they allowed it.

In a Whole Food Market in New Orleans, I was told no photography (I was
shooting a shot of my wife, not of the store)

I tthink though, if you chat up the manager, and explain what you want to
do, it probably can be done anywhere.

Interesting, I have never been stopped in our Walmart, and I've shot
candids several times inside and out.
