wait, you have malls that are still open?
I’m walking so fast I can’t even tell
Wait for me, will ya?
What’s a mall?
It’s a rodent that my cat likes to hunt outside and bring home as trophies.
No, you’re thinking of a mouse. A mall is when the top of something reaches a relatively high elevation. Like a giraffe or a multi story building.
No, you are thinking of tall. A mall is actually something tiny. For example, a raspberry is mall.
No, you’re thinking of small. A mall is an imperial unit of measurement that is ≈ 1.612 kilometers
No, you’re thinking of a mile. A mall is a small, often slightly raised blemish on the skin made dark by a high concentration of melanin.
No, that’s a mole. A mall is actually something you do with a telephone if you’re over 40.
An place that supports consumerism that therefore supports more exploitation so some rich people can continue to exploit humanity to enforce their artificial of power through money over humanity
Humans should live to be human and be free to express themselves freely, not be money making livestock to the few that enforce that power through money structure over humanity
And a great place to go for walks if you are in need of rehab. Flat, level, ground and climate controlled.
Here in Florida all the OG indoor malls have been abandoned, and developers keep building these new “outdoor” malls.
Outdoor. Malls. In Florida. Where it’s hot.
And people keep going there because there’s a new Sugar Factory or Fogo de Chão…
My inner urbanist despises these outdoor malls (at least the ones I’ve seen in Canada).
It’s essentially an artificial car-free downtown surrounded by a massive parking lot, and rarely served by public transportation. Why don’t we just build walkable downtowns instead? Is it because these are just suburbanites LARPing walkable living?
I’m in California. We have many malls. I don’t know what they are like these days. I haven’t actually set foot in any for years. And I can walk to one!
Every mall I’ve been to since like 2018 has just been fewer and fewer shops that aren’t rotating their same, boring stuff often enough.
And then Auntie Anne’s pretzels, which always slap.
Here in Adelaide, Australia most of our malls are still here - probably got to do with the fact all our malls key stores just happen to be grocery stores, or Walmart style stores (sans groceries) like Kmart, Target, and Big W.
Although Myer centre in Adelaide’s Rundle mall (basically a shopping street with no cars) is a bit dead on the top 3 floors - and has been for years now. It’s ground and basement floors are always packed (food court in the basement) though.
I like that the worker thinks this is so egregious he shakes his fist angrily
Need to replace doge with a cloud
TBH, I can’t remember the last time I went into a mall. :(
I remember at my mall cutting through a pipe tobacco store (90’s shit) and later it was a coffee store (not like a Starbucks; they sold 🅱️EANZ). Always cut through it because not just faster, but because they both smelled fucking amazing.
Why is it always jewellery stores?!
They are actually purposely designed like that. They are also often place at the end of corridor after the movie theater in a mall. That’s to get even more people to cut through, ideally with their girlfriends.
Trust me, they love it when you cut through… especially if you’re with a woman. I actually read something about how because the shape of the pillar (usually for Gate purposes) is a square it throws off human psychology and they see the open space more like a wall that they have to walk around. So very few people cut through that section.
This literally could be a picture of a mall I used to visit in florida, it’s uncanny
They built a wall at ours to stop people doing this.
“Mr Jewellerychev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!”
thats what they want…
I’m sure this format fits may, but this feels like KOP mall
Definitely done this and took the shortcut at the Cherry Hill mall
Tyler mall as well
Not just shortcuts, take longcuts through as well just to see what happens.
I do this at gas stations when there’s a line at the right turn lane
