Do you like going to the Mall?

@saragoodtimes In a few years a robot will be your personal shopper.

@WSEIII I don't think so. not there anyway

@Stereoguy I don’t regret the experience. I gained a ton of patience and interpersonal skills along the way. And it got me to where I am now. I just knew when my mental health began to suffer that I needed to get out before I became one of the long timers who was a little dead inside.

@Stereoguy in that ballpark

@Stereoguy will never be seen in a Kohl's ever again did shop there and liked them

I hate buying shit online and none of my friends understand the hate lol @TheLastWord

@Stereoguy The one where I grew up has been used in a few horror films.

@hunkalove So how do you buy things?

@LeopoldBloom I don't. If there is something I have to have I go to the nearest place that has it and then I go home. I don't need much, no one does.

@Stereoguy I can understand that. Sometimes the fit is different, even in the same item and size.

@Stereoguy Yes, indeed. And, you sometimes find sales that you didn't anticipate. I did with the jacket that I bought, a similar one to others that I own, but a different color.

@Stereoguy You're welcome! :)

@Stereoguy Francesca's... Cool women's clothing and accessories.

@Stereoguy Yeah I use to go to Service Merchandise about 40 years ago because they had a catalog they sent to everyone and I would be in the market for something in the catalog such as a meat smoker or a gift and it was in the mall, and I’d walk around with my daughter, we’d get a drink and a pretzel or stop at Chick-Fil-A if it wasn’t on a Sunday. I also got my eyeglasses at a store in the mall but they’ve went out of business so I can’t shop there now and Sears has gone out too. I think the last time I went to the mall was to look for a pair of capri pants in a cool fabric and they had none, that was probably 3 years ago or more.

@Stereoguy most advertising is targeted to 25-54…
Specifically to females..

That younger demo is less likely to be married and have “disposable “ income to buy 100 dollar shirts👍🏼

@Stereoguy The good stuff is out of malls, at least over here. I'd rather have a walk in some historic centre, and stop at some local place. 😉

@Stereoguy Don't they?!

@Stereoguy yes and I like looking at people and things. I usually leave empty handed, unless I am with my child then she'll have items, but other then that I usually don't buy items.

@Stereoguy likewise.

This was ours back in my old home town.Long gone now.[image deleted]A friend of ours was over Christmas of 2019 and baked a delicious ham and brought his own electric knife to cut it up. It was still in the box and I said, “No way!” and snapped a photo of it. Note the name on the bottom.
[image deleted]A while back we were cleaning out my mother in law’s garage and I came across this.Made laugh pretty hard.
