Mall at Christmas time
So I had to go to the mall today to pick up some new contacts, and it was crazy there. The parking lot was completely full and it was like a battle ground in there. Thankfully I only had to run in and out, but it was bad enough. I felt pitty for the people that were there shopping all day.

We had to go this week end. Lines were pretty long, and it was hard to move around in the stores because they were crowded. But people were acting nice. I pretty much hate shopping no matter when it is.
One mall, instead of having a big map of the mall with the store locations marked on it and list under it that puts the stores in categories (necessary since you can't tell what a store sells by its name), now has this incredibly stupid computer "store finder" instead . So only one person at a time can look at the mall map and for a certain type of store. You have to push buttons and read instructions---just to find out if there is a darn kitchen store there or not. The old type of directory any number of people could stand there and hunt for something. That got me to the screaming point but luckily the other people using it thought it was stupid too.

Sometimes I run an errand or two for the wife between jobs, so on occasion I'm "compelled" to visit...once I went after the schools let out for the day...it was like visiting the land of the Oompa Loompas.Flyingcursor wrote:jsluder wrote:I'd change that to, "To be avoided at all times of the year if at all possible!"

I concur. Fortunately I have little need to ever go to the mall.
