The crone at the counter starts yelling at me, telling me that I can't take pictures in their store. I asked her to clarify and she said that I can't take pictures in Starbucks especially of their products. Despite the crazed lack of planning in that marketing idea, I told her that I worked for the a LE agency and that you have every right to take pictures in public. She told me she was going to call the police and I said "great. I'm sure you'll learn a lot about the law."
What is it about controlling everything in society?
Your lesson for the day: You can be prohibited from taking pictures on private property, and yes, she can call the police. Her recourse is limited to having you arrested for trespassing if you refuse to leave. She might be a jerk, but she's correct.
Edited: The lawyer beat me to it by 2 minutes, but you now have the same info from a better qualified source.
