I totally agree with all of you. The client may change his mind once he sees the actual store and the possibilities that having photos would offer. We have already created the store, added all of the products, and are ready to roll it out. I do believe that he will want the photos once he does see the actual store.
Thanks for the input.

With digital cameras the rage now (maybe the only way!) it will not take that long to do all those photos. Once you get a background setup behind each photo, away you go!! Click, click and your done.

With photos on a web site, the primary thing is that you know the product actually exists. 
I buy books off Amazon and although like most people I know what a book looks like, I still like to see a picture of the cover, so I can see where my money is going. A descriptive text on its own would be unlikely to sell the product to me.
A standard photo of a collection of boxes with a text in the photo saying something along the lines of 'we sell all sorts of boxes' would probably do wonders for your client.

Try that with pictures of food! Not only MUST you have a picture, it has to be a GREAT picture and food items are really hard to photograph (apologies for the hijack but the main problem seems to be solved in this thread)

There is one golden rule about photographing food.......... Don't take bites out of it until AFTER you have taken the photographs.

We have a massive green screen and lighting for just such an occasion. Since I'm a motion graphics guy by trade, the green screen is a must. As a matter of fact, take a look at this Doritos commercial I did for one of my clients who has entered the Crash The Superbowl contest: http://www.crashthesuperbowl.com/#/gallery?video=4439
I had to design everything in the shots as the actors were all shot on a blank green screen.
