"PONY DE FELPA" (Plush Ponies) was a prize machine that I found today at a supermarket. For just a coin, you can win a random Filly Princess bootleg. (Quite decent quality, too.)
Excuse the pic's quality, but my cellphone is quite old and we aren't allowed to take pictures inside of a supermarket to begin with. (The guard was near, to boot.) |

It would be bootleg if it was a MLP pony style. These are generics, custom made to fit these vending balls.
Wait until after the Labor Day weekend. The guard's main concern is with the lottery counter, bill pay/money order window and the liquor department. Management's concern is with the recording of the procedures for checkstand transactions. Photos of only the toy machines should not be a problem. Look for a vendor's phone number. You can take all the pictures you want when the vendor takes the machine to their truck for refilling after running their coin counter process. This happens during the opening hours. |

Is not being able to take pictures in the supermarket really that outlandish a thing? |
| Anonymous #428749 10 months ago |
Its is very normal that its forbidden to take pictures in a supermarket. Anywhere. :P |

Most places I've been in seem to discourage it. |

Depends on the location and disposition of the store owner (the two tend to be related.)
I've encountered many stores where I have to ditch my backpack or bags from other stores behind the counter before I can walk through the store. Taking pictures may seem benign, but it's a logical step to take in higher-crime areas. It's like the police who threaten to take your camera. Of course there won't be anything incriminating if they're doing their job right; they're just paranoid. |

^That seems poorly worded but I can't figure out how to fix it. |

According to the explanation I just got from a guard, the "no pics" policy is for safety reasons (potential thieves taking pics to find "blind" areas) and because of competitors checking out on their special sales and quickly countering them with their own.
He said he had no problem with me taking pics, only if I used my cellphone instead of a camera (that way it's easier for him to look to the other side) and only if his supervisor wasn't around. |
