Malls have fallen into a degenerative mess, pass

 

[SaturdaysGS]

No

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Never gonna happen

I worked retail for a few years before going back to college. I spent enough time in a mall. If I never see the inside of a mall again I wouldn't be mad about it.

 

[1quick]

No I prefer to just have my stuff show up at my house without ever needing to leave lol

 

[DEEZUZ]

Speaking of...

What's mall of America looking like nowadays?

 

[Shawn1112]

Barely went to them when they were popular. Could care less if they come back.

 

[DEEZUZ]

And no. As kids when we couldn't drive they were great. Going there older all it was was shit ass kids running amok

This. Sbarro and arcades are the only thing I miss about malls.


The rest can fuck off

Basically what everyone else has said already. Our mall has a harbor freight I haven't been in yet and a pretzel maker place that's legit, but otherwise it's more or less a place for old ladies to shop for outfits and trinkets these days. I don't think the kids even bother to hang out there anymore.

Malls are still alive and happening. We frequent several since I have a teenage daughter. They shop and I play Pokémon go.

I miss sbarro

You mean just NY pizza? I swear every damn place except maybe 2 all tasted like Sbarro. Which don’t get me wrong. Most were like a buck fifty which is a god damn deal in NYC.

I do get a little sad driving past Stratford. It’s literally a shell of itself.

Had a mall about 15 minutes from my house growing up harlem and Irving plaza, we hung out there before driving and when we started to drive it was as a car meet up place at night. Place to be to meet new girls grow your connections lol.

We started to drive out to the suburbs Woodfield & Stratford and would end up meeting some new girls, always run into some car guys as well.

The mall for us was like social media outlet and place to meet new people our age and just hang out.

Now I can handle it for a short time and then I’m out. My son and his friends hit the mall a few times a month.

 

[PowerwheelsTesla]

Don’t really miss it. It was cool as a kid seeing shops and a food court all in one. The only thing I actually miss is being able to try on clothes at multiple stores. I’m 6 foot 4 and 220 lbs. so finding shirts that actually fit correctly is a challenge. Clothes are made for short fat people or tall fat people. So I swim in shirts or it’s a belly shirt.

I like how mook asks if anybody wants malls to make a comeback and most responses are about how somebody’s local mall sucks so no.

I don’t think you all are understanding the question.

Yes - I’d like malls to make a comeback. I enjoyed them when I was younger and regularly shopped at many of the stores.
