    Companies can set their own policies as long as they’re not actually illegal/unconstitutional.

    If a supermarket wanted to forbid using a phone/calculator or camera, they can almost certainly do so.

    Other side of the world, but I’m pretty sure I heard of someone getting kicked out of a supermarket here in NZ because they worked for the competition and were copying down all the prices. I don’t remember if the competition regulator ended up making a statement on it

      Oh dear. That goes against the point of capitalism which is that competition makes for allocative efficiency.
