This incident occurred on the 29th of November, 2014 involving M, S and a friend.

I was waiting outside with a friend while my sister was inside choosing pictures.
She made a sign with her hands but I couldn’t understand her so I went inside. S asked me to call the friend because S was being told to pay for 14 pictures, when in the receipt she paid for 10 pictures and she came to collect 10 pictures.

Are you a student from —?” the woman asked me.
I said no.
