Argo Tea opening in the Flatiron Building – no photos please

Chicago’s Argo Tea opened Friday in the Flatiron building (949 Broadway), bringing their variety of over 30 loose leaf teas and specialty blends (see menu) to New York City.
We tried a free sample outside which was a hybrid tea-cider that was good.
Beware though, inside they are super weird about cameras…they will stop you from taking a photo. Which brings up the question – is someone really going to steal the concept based on a photo? Is the business that vulnerable? Strange considering they pretty much copy the layout of a Starbucks or Coffee Bean. They should focus more on the quality of their product and being friendly and not freaking out about whether someone takes a photo inside their store. Bizarre.

in Starbucks and Bean they also dont allow photos or cameras. I think this is more of a retail industry standard. Try walking into sbux or a retail store macys and taking photo-shoots and see what happens/ .
