I was kicked out of Halloween Superstore!!!

**sacolton** · 09-09-2010,02:41 PM

I decided to check out the other HALLOWEEN SUPERSTORE that opened just 30 minutes from my house. I walk in and start looking around and taking pictures of the store ... no sooner than two minutes, the lady manager approaches me and asks if I needed help. "Nope. Just looking." and I continue to look around and take pictures with my iPhone. She then walks up to me and says, "Sir, I need to ask you to stop taking pictures!" WHY?! "Because I asked you to." OR WHAT? "I'm going to ask you to leave now." WHAT THE HELL? FOR TAKING PICTURES?!

This is all I got ...

This wasn't even 10% of the store ... this was mainly just the entrance section. At no time was I being disrespectful or disruptive when taking pictures, so I don't know what her problem was. Interestingly enough, the north store that I took so many photos of had NO PROBLEM with it.

Go figure.

It is because they think you work for the competition.

Looks like an awesome place! As far as taking pics, a lot of stores prohibit this so yeah, she was within her rights to ask you to stop. That place has some great looking stuff though! Love that coffin prop!

The halloween Superstore by my house doesn't have half as much stuff as this one! I was very dissapointed..

Thats when you tell her you are from corporate and ask her if she makes it a common practice to speak to board members that way! HAHAHA

I've never been to one of these stores, but our Spirit stores don't allow photos (I know from experience!), and I went to a different store last year that may have been Halloween Express (?), that had signs up everywhere, saying no photography.

I still manage to take a few here and there with my phone, but that's just for things I like that I want to make.

I always go up to a manager and explain that I'm a member of a Halloween site - Halloween Forum (gotta plug the site!

), and ask permission to take pics so I can put them up and let people on the site know what their store has. I've always been told to go right ahead and most times they give me coupons too.

Polite and asking up front never hurts!

Sounds like a communication fail on your part?

**sacolton** · 09-09-2010,04:02 PM

How so? I walk in. Browse and take a few pictures and she tells me to stop. I ask why and she tells me to leave. How was that a communication fail on my part?
