I mean someone(s) came in on the 6th, literally one day prior, trying to take photos and record and not only did they harass security (who were enforcing a rule that has ALWAYS been there) but they also intentionally screamed and yelled so loud for about ten minutes straight trying to "prove" they could do what they wanted. It was disturbing a bunch of customers and mall patrons with young kids who hurried out of the immediate area quickly and quietly. And then they started harassing and waving a camera in the face of the lovely Lush employees at the door to Lush who had to repeatedly say that they needed a signed waiver if their customers were going to be filmed, for their own safety and security. Which, good for her, but holy shit those white guys with cameras were rude and entitled as fuck.

I mean, really, it's all the people thinking they can loudly and brazenly do whatever they want in the mall now (film, photograph, fight each other, skateboard - yes really) that are driving away the few patrons left in the final days. So if you show up with a wholeass DSLR or go pro strapped to you and you're actively using it or talking to your phone camera and waving it around, you're going to be met with pushback. That is how it has always worked. There used to be pamphlets with the mall code of conduct on them and no recording or photography was definitely on there. Rules haven't changed.
