I noticed these Manfrotto clamps in an odd use...

I was walking through JCPenney today and I saw that their new signage is held up with Manfrotto super clamps.

Everything can have the potential for different uses, not just one

I know, I just think it's odd that they couldn't find a cheaper solution. Those clamps are expensive.

I think I'd be approaching someone in the store asking if they might be had "cheap" once that display has run its course...

Cheap ones break easily

Actually, I think the "look" is intentional. It provides a very "techie" or "mechanical" look that fits the demographics and products.

I use to work at kohls years ago and they use the same system for signage.... when I left I took a dozen clamps and such with me haha,

Wow...someone brags about stealing $400 or more of property that wasn't his/hers and chuckles about it, and apparently you both condone it...glad that both of you aren't my employees.

Good help is hard to come by.

They would have most likly ended up in the trash anyway.
Local clothing store had renovations underway when I saw metal shelving sitting outside , I asked and they had no idea what they were doing with then a week later it all ended up in the huge dumpster.
