    Wow 🤨 total Karens indeed. The employees at that Barnes and Walmart were totally off. I've never heard of this or even saw anyone who films while book shopping being told not to film which is strangely odd because it does help with promoting books thanks to tiktok, youtube, along with other social media platforms.
    I'm honestly so glad you girls left. Totally killed the vibes 😵 I hope you both get a better experience next time, you guys deserve it! Btw you should totally read The Silent Patient- it's really good!! 🧡😆📖

    The guy at Barnes was incorrect. It is a public business. You are allowed to film anywhere in public. The only time you have to request to film in a public place is in federal buildings and hospitals. That Barnes guy was a prick.

    • @meikusje
      @meikusje 7 месяцев назад +1

      Stores are IN the public space, but the store itself is private property, and they can enforce no-filming rules if they want to. Idk if it's standard B&N policy or not, but it could very well be the preference of the person who runs that particular store. Or maybe that employee was new and was told about this rule and still very eager to follow the rules, even though other employees don't care about filming. However, even in public spaces there are still rules and privacy laws to think of when filming. Most people don't care, and it's almost impossible to enforce with how much gets filmed and posted and shared, but theoretically, you're not allowed to just film everything and everywhere just because it's in public. It's all quite complex, and you'd probably have to take it up with B&N to really get a conclusive answer.
