Ok everyone should read this to understand fully my question.
I went with my family on a vacation earlier this year, and we went to the Walk of Fame in Los Angeles. It was great and all until we stumbled onto a Mickey Mouse mascot. My mom insisted we took a photo with him/her as usual. So as we were taking the photo, the person inside the mascot asked my dad to pay him 10 dollars (I think) to take a photo with him/her.
So I was wondering was it a scam, or just a necessity to pay the mascot?
