I got chased out once for using a DSLR with batt grip (looks big)@ Universal. Apparently my friend posed in a more creative looking way than the conventional tourist, dressed a bit trendier, and my DSLR was big. And... one of the auntie thought she was a mascot!
Asked and reported to the... pinoy floor sweeper there. And what did she do? demanded we stop shooting, as she thinks I'm from the mag or something. Asked her to change outfit (gown like sundress). But the heck... we're just a couple having fun there as a normal paid visitor! Wanted to argue with her, she threatened to call security. Almost wanted to goto the management, but it's my fun day so forget it, asked her to change outfit.
Universal Studios should educate their peanut brain employee not to discrimanate big cams and patrons who dress well.
