I just got done shopping at a shopping mall and for me, I enjoy online way better.

Parking sucks, too many retail employees are rude and pushy, and not as family friendly as I would have liked.

Shopping malls will be a thing of the past.

Why waste gas when u can have cheaper items delivered to your door

The cons about online shopping is can't even touch the actual items you want to buy and went you get it and your not satisfied with the product it's hard to return it.
So I'm more on a mall person at least I can see and touch the product I want to buy.

We have to see in person any thing before we buy.

I liked Washington Square Mall in Oregon because they had a video store with interesting videos. I would mostly shop at like Kmart and Payless Shoes for clothes and shoes. Cheaper places like that. I like buying things online. I never really had a lot of money to buy much at a mall. They're more for higher income people than for the kinda jobs I had. It's too bad that places like Sears haven't catered to an online presence also?

It doesn't matter what kind of "entertainment" they put in stores or a mall. If people go to a Mall it is because they need to buy something, maybe try it on or can't wait for something to arrive in the mail or UPS. They are not going to go to the Mall or a store because of some entertainment gimmick. That is equivalent to go to the Mall to watch something. Not gonna happen. Unless there is a huge cultural shift, which brought young people to hang out in Malls in the 80's and their parents picking them up, there will not be a resurrection of Mall traffic because of entertainment...
