My office for my day job is across the street from a Burger King. It’s not the healthiest of options, but I’ll eat there occasionally. Last week I noticed this new sign on the door:
As a private business, Burger King is certainly welcome to set their own policies.

I’d urge other photographers to choose alternate fast food instead of support a company that won’t allow photography.

Well there are so many other reasons to be turned off by BK other than this. I can see your point though. I can only imagine they’re going to have a tough time controlling the flow of photo captured on cell phones. Those with dSLRs are not as likely to set up shop inside though. I wonder what is behind the policy announcement.
