    Tanglewood Mall is now Carilion Mall. Well, it might as well be as there are so many Carilion medical practices there now.
    And that’s not a bad thing.

    Why would they welcome you there and then later just eject you? I find that quite odd and at the same time, ridiculous.

    Just went to Tanglewood for the first time in over a decade maybe? I had no idea there was a pediatric hospital where JC Penny was. Walked around the mall. Half the top floor was closed off entirely. The only store that was still open till closing hours was Bath and Body.

      I mean as long as they tell you nicely to get out then that's fine. Since this one wasn't happy that's the really unfortunate part. What's even worse is that if you were to go on the PATH train between NY and NJ, they're even worse (because it's the only transit system banning photography) and you can get your camera taken away. And if it's REALLY ugly, you can get arrested. Consent is not a thing according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. And pretty much anything owned by them (airports, bridges, tunnels, marine ports, PATH, and World Trade Center) has a photography ban in place and the ban is enforced 24/7 by employees, transit crews, security and the Port Authority Police Department.

    What nice old store! Also, this goes to show how JCPenney has become in terms of service. Like that employee at the end who like walk 100 or so feet to observe your camera that was in your hand. Though walking out is the right thing to do, but at the same time it's to late for them because they have revealed themeslves by just coming up to you like that caught on your cam. Another issue is that some employees seems to pretend their part of corporate. Even though if there employees of the store there not main corporate like where im at now the Jcpenneys are very nice servic and don't act like they own everything. We stop going to penneys now because they are against culture and stop selling some USA Made products. If any incounter like this has anyone had should reveal who they are especially while having the camera out. It at least will have everyone look at it and tuning away from them. Meaning not step in to shop. All of the people should the not give them service so they realize it them selves.

    • @xHadesStamps
      @xHadesStamps 3 роки тому

      Yeah. They're a private company and have the right to do that, but jeez Louise, they don't need to be rude about it! While you need to comply, *never* be happy about it, and make a point that you're not going to be, if they're rude like that.
