Some people like to take pictures of their food. (Including me, and 99% of other asian people) Most restaurants don't care and I think that's the way it should be. It's dumb to feel annoyed by this, because eventually we're going to be running live feeds from our eyeballs anyways. Some guy asked a bunch of famous chefs on twitter what they thought, and the general consensus was "they paid, who cares" to "it's good advertisement", with everyone agreeing on "turn your flash off." I really think it's the minority of people who care, and it's really to their detriment.

Here's a good example... I went to a bread counter and wanted to take a photo in order to share with people that I am getting some delicious bread from this delicious place. The moment I pulled my phone out, every employee yelled in unison "no photos!" Congratulations, you just ruined my bread buying experience, and now I am going to tell no one about you. And there was no point in not allowing photos. There's no privacy or distraction issues. I have no idea why they didn't allow photos but it really soured my experience because it was rude and there was no point to it.

The arbitrary distinction between dslr/cameras with a removable lenses and not is stupid too, considering the quality of point & shoots these days (or something like the X100).
