Multi-brand/model cell phone photo shop

Does anyone have experience with these? Small store, 4 brands, and COVERTLY taking pics of multiple models of each brand. I can’t imagine getting through this without being spotted/discovered. Tia!

Well I saw this listed and was thinking how tough it would be. Then I saw an actual mystery shop for the same place for more, so I took that instead. This place was incredibly busy that I didn't stick around for the mystery shop after the allotted time given and figured the next time they want someone to take photos of the displays I could probably do that easily no problem. I definitely wouldn't be noticed.
I did one and it was tough.

I was the only customer, so of course the salesperson was on my tail wanting to help me. I used a story that I was thinking of buying a phone for someone as a gift and just wanted to check out what was available. First, although it was 230 in the afternoon none of the phones were turned on, plus none of them had any signage indicating what models they were. So, I had to ask the salesperson to turn them all on for me so the models would come up on the screen. I went around and took a pic of every phone, then searched the pics after I left to find the models that were needed to upload.

You don't really need to be stealthy taking the pictures. Everyone takes pictures of everything these days, and I just told the salesperson I was going to get pics of what was available and go home and do some research.
I went back into a restaurant/store the other day because I had missed getting a counter photo. I took a super obvious photo of the menu board and dessert display before getting the covert counter photo on my way out. I figured menu board and desserts look like I am showing someone what is available for my next visit and then I am just checking my photos for glare while I am taking that awkward counter image. Nobody raised an eyebrow.

People taking all kinds of pictures is just that common.
