I've gone out taking pictures (rummaging through trash piles, buying weird things) for units on slope, percentages, geometric shapes and get a lot of weird looks. But as soon as someone asks and I tell them I'm a jr. high math teacher, they all give me this understanding look and let me go about my business. Now Home Depot guy still stopped me, but his whole attitude changed when I gave him my line.<br />Try it sometime, you'll be amazed.Max Sartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07271198231897203659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313795221042048302.post-52631403187901914802011-09-01T17:20:28.178-06:002011-09-01T17:20:28.178-06:00That settles it: I'm bringing my teacher-wife ...That settles it: I'm bringing my teacher-wife with me on future in-store photo shoots.

I didn't realize so many places had this policy until reading all the stories here about it. They're freakin strawberries, not ICBMs.<br /><b>Bob</b> - Good point, I didn't sign any waiver. As for the teacher pass, all you have to do is agree to spend some 180 days a year with seven different groups of 30 to 40 teenagers for 50 minutes at a time, and they throw in a free pass.<br /><b>Little Nell</b> - Until reading these comments here, I thought Home Depot was being overly sensitive.

You must look really, really dodgy, Max :)<br /><br />The one with all the shovels is an interesting composition..<br /><br />Recently I was in the supermarket fruit section and took out my smartphone to take some pics of apostrophe and spelling crimes.

I can't stop smiling.<br /><br />It always makes me laugh when stores try to enforce their no-photography rules. As if they're protecting some kinda national secret. G-d forbid the Chinese military figures out the real reason why toilet plungers are stored BEHIND the wheelbarrows. OMG!<br /><br />I had a similar experience at Wal-Mart years ago. You took me right back to that moment. And you totally rock!<br /><br />http://writteninc.blogspot.com/2006/12/busted-by-grocery-police.htmlcarmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313795221042048302.post-57045579457899713312011-08-31T19:57:39.799-06:002011-08-31T19:57:39.799-06:00I think you have it right on that last one.

But I really never thought they would actually tell me I couldn't take pictures.<br />Corporate espionage? Trust me, the technology is there so that if someone wanted to take pictures of everything without Mr. Home Depot knowing, they could.<br />I love the idea of filming it. Maybe I'll go down to the mall and start taking weird pictures, with my brother filming, and see what happens.

Wonder what they are worried about? Maybe a shopper wanted to take some photos to compare with stuff at home or to get someone's approval so they don't have to be dragged into the store...now I feel like going in just to see what might happen....!
