Dear Dragon Land Bakery located at 125 Walker Street, NY NY:

Allow me to explain something.  Although I am not technically a tourist, I just got a new camera.  Because of this… I have been taking alot of pictures.  Some of them are arty.  Some of them are candid.  Some of them are an attempt at something new, like this reflection shot:

As you can see, I unfortunately also caught my own reflection.  So I reposed Poppy, who was my willing model while her parents were inside your establishment to purchase pastries.  This was the result of the repose:

As you can see, the photo has greatly improved.  Poppy is visible while I am not.  Two things happened in the photo that made me want to retake it.  The first is my fault, in that I did not get the entire name of your fine establishment in the shot.  The other is that this worker blocked a portion of the rack, but that is entirely understandable and acceptable because she is there to service your customers.  So once I re-established the framing to include the sign and waited for your worker to move out of the frame on her own accord with no coaxing from myself, there was a banging on your window.  Apparently the worker was trying to get my attention to issue obscene gestures and what can only be described as gang signs as indicated in this photo:

I mean, really?  Are you seriously going to allow your workers to be disrespectful to people on the PUBLIC STREET.  While you may be in Chinatown, this is the United States of America.  I can understand if I was taking photographs from inside your establishment, that you may enforce a no photography policy which is your right.  However, to allow your workers to be rude to people OUTSIDE your establishment is just fucking wrong.  That worker needs to be concerned with the customers INSIDE the store and serving them properly, not what is going on outside.  Also, considering that a good portion of the people in your bakery are tourists, perhaps you should be a little more open minded about photography.  Even inside your establishment such as the Chinatown Starbucks who seemed to have no issue whatsoever:

Bottom line Dragon Land Bakery, while your pastries may indeed be succulent… the workers lack of respect to prospective customers and acceptance of the culture of the country you do business in that will sink you.  Oh… and for the record… I’ll be back this weekend to take more pictures through your glass.

Because I can and there is nothing you can do to stop me.

Fucking commies.

XOXO
