I can't say for sure about any other stores, but I worked for a grocery store chain for years and you can not take pictures in grocery stores. That is the common rule in all chains in my area. I'm sure lots of other chains have the same rules, although it is harder to stop now with the camera phones than in the old days when you had to pull out a camera. It is because of competition and now the competition is even more fierce with on line shopping. I don't even have a cell phone so I can't say if you should, a lot of things have changed in the last few years.
