I noticed the security at Plaza 66 preventing people from taking innocent snapshots in their mall. But at night I noticed people sneaking up to the show windows outside Plaza 66 and taking closeup photos of the goods on display. Is this about paranoia about copyright protection or design copying?

On a positive note, the photo does highlight the rather nice coordination between uniform and tree decoration colourings.

Just a thought. Merry Christmas! You could also use your powers as a journalist and call up Haagen Dasz regional offices to ask what the policy is on photography inside Chinese stores.

Especially consecutive umlauts. I've always thought HD sounded like a name JRR Tolkien or perhaps HP Lovecraft came up with for the bone-strewn lair of some kind of ancient monstrosity, anyway.

I was there a couple of summers ago and took a picture of my husband enjoying his ice cream on a hot summer day, but the employees did the same thing, rushed over, told us "no photos" and asked us to leave. Seems like a corporate policy. Stupid one though. I won't be back. I don’t think it is about the Christmas decorations.
