when i got up this afternoon
i discovered
i was out of coffee.
i went to Peets.
i bought a couple of pounds
and a new mug.
while i was waiting
i took a picture.
the coffee girl said,
"why are you taking a picture?"
"you can't take pictures in here."
i became flustered
and felt myself blush.

I kind of thought this Co-0p was my friend. I bring my camera to a friend's house and they are happy with that.
I am sorry I intruded on the orange's privacy.
And incidentally. goof them and their high prices! Whole Foods, come to Lawrence!

Date: 2006-01-12 05:54 am (UTC)Fortunately, most people at the bookstore were cool about it, mostly because I generally opened with "this is really stupid, BUT ..."
My friend used to work at a Peet's, and he tried to get his fellow employees to unionize. The steps Peet's took to break the union were straight out of my friend's American Studies textbook (threats, intimidation, coercion, etc.). Totally irrelevant to the topic at hand, but a fun fact nonetheless!
Oh, and I am going to have so much trouble in life made me snort with laughter. Thank you. :)
AAAAALLLLLEEEELLLLLUUUUJJJJAAAAHHHHH

Date: 2006-01-12 02:39 pm (UTC)Of course, sometimes I do it anyway - but it always feels uncomfortable.

Date: 2006-01-12 07:56 pm (UTC)In my case, I think t's beacuse I know that I'm violating someone else's privacy sometimes. Not when shooting a menu, but certainly when taking candid shots of strangers. I may not be stalking celebs, but I'm approaching Paparazzi status in my own mind a bit.
More so because the people that I often want to shoot are the homeless. On some levels I feel like I'm exploiting them by treating them as mere subject matter. So I always pay for the picture, but I prefer to take the picture first and without asking.

Date: 2006-01-13 06:42 am (UTC)When I was at the Getty Museum in LA a few weeks ago, I took some pictures of a woman on the other side of a plaza as the sun set. My friend and I were later looking at them in the tram, and I said, "look, she's picking her nose!" My friend quietly pointed out that the woman was sitting right next to her.

Date: 2006-01-12 07:42 pm (UTC)So I can relate to jumpiness/flusteredness.
Your pictures/stories make me smile, everyday.
