I can relate to this. A couple of years ago my daughter wanted some shots of displays showing one of her client's products in chemist (= drug stores) in Australia. Not comparisons with competing products, not (necessarily) showing the store's name. I did the proper thing and asked permission, and was refused in all but two of the eight places I tried. What were they afraid of - the TLR I was carrying?
