Something I've noticed lately is people at stores who like
to take pictures of themselves with merchandise like funky or quirky hat or
shirts with catchy slogans and then they leave without buying anything. Then they post the pictures on social media as
if they did buy it. Really?
Apparently this is such an epidemic that I've seen signs at
different souvenir shops strictly forbidding just that. I guess with the advent
of phones with cameras, it has become so easy to snap of picture of just about
anything at anytime that we forget that not everything needs to be
photographed.
I’m not sure if it’s just me but I think it’s not only tacky
to take a photo of something like at a gift shop, it’s almost stealing. I mean, you are getting the photographic
satisfaction as if you had purchased the item.
What happens when someone down the road wants to see ‘that’ hat or shirt
but then of course you don’t really have it, doesn’t that make you look like a
fool? I think so. Then on the store’s behalf, people who
constantly handle the merchandise without buying it damage the merchandise
which causes lost revenue. So do
yourself and businesses a favor. Just buy
it!
