Yes, actually. I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I've always loved malls.

I like being able to see the items I am going to purchase. I like being able to walk around and ask questions about items.

Going into a Dick's sporting goods, I can see and feel and test camping items before buying them. Or make sure they have the exact grain I'm looking for for bullets. When you buy stuff online...it might come in the mail all messed up, or the wrong model, or cheaper fabric than the photo suggested. You just wasted your money.

It's also nice to walk into Barnes and Noble (usually attached to the mall, or right across the street) and actually SEE, SMELL, and TOUCH the books and magazines you are interested in. Just seeing the selection and being immersed. Maybe even strike up a conversation with a stranger nearby looking at the same section as you.

Clothing stores are also essential to be visited in person. Back in the day (which was a Wednesday, btw) you could just note your pants size....and go to any store and just buy that size and KNOW with 100% certainty it would fit.

Nope. Not anymore.

If you wear 30" 32" pants.........you better make damn sure you try them on. Because Old Navy's 30" 32" are hella different than American Eagle's version of a 30" 32". Same with shoes. How the hell this became a thing is beyond me.

Malls are also excellent for people-watching. So many shaved monkeys wearing their scented fabrics, trying so hard to pretend they are more than monkeys. Walking their little spawns around in carts, displaying to the world that they did, in fact, have unprotected sex. Fascinating.

Malls just have a cool atmosphere. So many stores. Anything you could possibly want. And walking is better than sitting on your ass.

So yeah.
