does anyeone else hate malls?

[Tony]

I used to love them, but Ive slowly gotten to the point where I hate them. (The local mall anyway).. it used to be great, find just about any CD I was looking for, the arcade was booming, that stuff is long gone.. there are no stores that are devoted mainly to music. and the Arcade has declined (as well as the arcade scene in general). Wandering around that place used to b fun, now it seems like a big waste of time.

I learned the hard way yesterday, when I went my seperate way from my mom and step dad when we got tere. Nothing like it used to be. (I as amused by the broken pop machine that had a price of $41.20 for a single bottle of coke though, lol)

I hate our local mall because it's laid out in such a way that I can see where I want to be the floor below, but I have to walk all over the place to get to the stairs.

Now, the Mall of America... I like that mall, though I'm pretty sure it will be taken out by terrorists one of these days...

[Laudate_Dominum]

I can't stand malls. ick!

[photosynthesis]

there is a mall right down the street from me. it's good because I don't have a car and the mall has everything I'd need to buy in one place... therefore eliminating the need to beg people for rides.

however, it's bad for the same reason

I don't like going there during the holidays because it stresses me out.

Malls aren't my idea of a good time. I work two blocks from a decent sized one, and I shope there on occasion for clothes and shoes. On the whole, however, I find malls are overpriced. I can find the same -- or cooler -- stuff at better prices elsewhere.

And over the holidays, the crowds stress me out. It makes shopping so much less fun.

We had 2 now we have a whole 1. Life is exciting here. YEE HA....Uh sorry. I just saw the word MALL and got so NOT excited I couldn't help myself.

I go to the mall and get Japanese food and a Cinnabon and I leave.
OR
I go to the mall to Yankee Candle Company and buy more "tarts" and I leave.
OR
I go to the mall buy a soda and a cookie sit on a bench watch as people go by and silently pray for them. When I run out of soda and cookie I leave.

That's all.

Well, not exactly. One day I did ALL 3. It took me a month to recuperate.
I was "overwhelmed" by the MALL-NESS of it all.

I work at a mall...

It makes me sad to see some of the young women walking around there.

We have a really nice mall close to where I live, but twice a year is about the right amount for me to visit. I don't like malls much unless I'm with my best friend. We have a super awesome time making fun of manikins and stuff.

I haven't been to a mall in ages...... I think i went this summer when I wnr with csmp counselors to Ft. Wayne.... I think..... It was a cool mall, but I didn't want to be there....

Did you go to the outdoor one? Jefferson Square? (or Jefferson Point? I can't remember ...) That's my favorite Ft. Wayne mall. I haven't been in a while, though ...

I'm happy to babysit while you do that, as long as I get coffee.

There are only a handful of things that get me out of bed at 5 a.m. Shopping is not on the list.

[jezic]

there is one a ways from here. I am not the biggest fan of it, but i go there when i need something. I do sort of think of them as capitalism at its height.

people will spend hundreds there and balk at giving 20 to the Church. it really is kind of disheartening.
