Retailers are often quite primitive folk, and their anti-photography stance
springs from a combination of primitive beliefs:
Firstly, they believe that all things have a spirit. The spirit of thunder,
the spirit of the river, the spirit of the coffee table, and so on.
Secondly, they believe that photography, whether traditional or digital, can
steal the souls or spirits of those photographed.
Thus, they believe that photography will steal the spirit of their
merchandise, thus destroying the innate value of said items.
You will find that the only way to capture an image of department store
merchandise without causing offense, is to use the traditional media of
carved stone, painted bark, or body tattooing.
