I was carrying a camera around Costco today when an employee got in my face about it.

Costco Employee (almost yelling): Did you take any pictures?
Me: Why?
Costco Employee: Did you take any pictures?
Me: Why?
Costco Employee: Did you take any pictures?
Me: Why?
Costco Employee: I'm asking you a question!
Me: So am I.
Costco Employee: ...There's no photography allowed in the store!
jen: That's all you had to say.
Me: Alright, thanks!

Yes, it is their store and they can make whatever rules they like. But, this guy was an asshole for no reason.

Just to spite them, here is a list of costco pictures from around the net. Maybe someone doing a google search for "costco photos" will find this blog and reap the benefits.
