Leica--the ultimate spycam!

[froyd]

Funny story. Went to Costco this afternoon and the lady checking membership at the door did not allow me to go in. The reason? I had a camera slung over my shoulder and apparently they are afraid of industrial espionage. Nevermind, that the camera in question was a chrome M with goggled lens... not that she would have know necessarily, but the camera was loaded with BW film. Not exactly high-tech spying gear in 2012.

the irony, of course, is that while she debated with me about the dangers posed by my camera, half a dozen shoppers with iPhones in their pockets were welcomed in without any second thoughts.

aahh! forgive her. those ladies are hired based on how good they can draw smiley faces on the back of the receipts.

How ridiculous! I'm sure Costco has lots of trade secrets on display for all to see.

There's no arguing with some people. They don't understand the logic that almost every single person walking into that store has at least a camera phone, and that there aren't really any secrets at a Costco worth stealing.
