I recently received this email that I must share with my readers:
Dear Seamus:
I loved meeting you and love your shop. You have a great collection of items and your prices can’t be beat. I have just one question, I saw signs that said please do not take photos in the shop…..what’s that all about? I was on vacation and wanted souvenir photos?
Sincerely,
Shannon, Kansas City, Kansas
Dear Shannon:
Thanks for visiting us in Smithville. There are several reasons why you shouldn’t take photographs in any retail store. Our main reason is we don’t want items to be stained, ripped or shop worn when our customers buy them. As you said, our prices can’t be beat and if we have to discard or discount damaged items, we would have to raise our prices. My human has to buy all of the products she sells in her store; every dollar comes out of her pocket. Souvenir photos should only be taken of something you pay for otherwise they are not your souvenir. These items are for sale, not play. That being said, you are free to take a photo with me anytime. I’ll even put it up on my next blog.
If you have a question for me, you can email me at Seamusmac@Irelandandoldlace.com
Cheers!
