Thanks for the suggestion... Yes, I think the images are just for
scraping the pricing info from... as long as you can read it, it's
good. The trick is toting a camera through the store without being
spotted... management will ask you to leave otherwise...

Yes, they mine the video/photos for the pricing info... I'm not sure
