If you own a pet store, would you let visitors take photos of your pets?
If you run a pet store, as the pet store owner, would you allow visitors to take photos of your pets?
I just visited a mall of mostly pet stores today, and I took plenty of photos and videos. Most of the pet store owners had no problem with it at all. One of them even said his store is mostly for the show off of his saltwater aquariums.
However, one tiny puny pet store's owner told the visitors not to take the photos. He was talking to someone who took photos of his birds. At the same time I was taking photos of his fish tanks, and I thought he was talking to me. He said he isn't selling tickets, and the shop is for selling stuff, not for the photo taking or even for the show.
I think most people would buy something they did not originally plan to buy but simply see it in a store. This is from my own experience. I always buy more than I originally intended every time I visit a store. It is a good idea to let visitors do anything short of scaring the pets or damage a product.
What is your opinion? Would you let visitors take photos of your pets if you are a pet store owner?
