Every couple of months, maybe. I have about a 45 minute tolerance. Unfortunately, fewer malls now have bookstores which are the preferred place of retreat.

My in-laws were in town a couple of months ago and we visited a mall. I felt like I was on another planet. It had probably been two years since I'd set foot in one.
I don't buy much. What I do buy tends to come from Goodwill, Craigslist, or mail order. I'm so cheap that I get sticker shock in Target.

With the exception of the back door to the tool area of Sears, I might visit a mall on Christmas Eve now and then, if I fail to plan ahead. That's about it. |

I get lost in malls as well... This is a horrifying admission for a person who loves shoes, but it is true. I HATE malls. Especially at Christmas time with all the people and the noise. it's deafening and makes me want to go hide.
For Black Friday shopping, I prep myself up, hit the early, early stores and get home by ten or eleven. After that - I'm done. Zero shopping except for on-line. I have a BLAST on Black Friday, but after that I'm DONE. Won't step foot into a store until after New Years. angela

I don't go near the mall the week before Black Friday and stay away until after the post holiday sales. I just hate this time of year. That's terrible but it only applies to shopping. Catalog and internet shopping for me.

Black Friday ? Why is it so many people get so greedy the day after they gave thanks for all they have ?
My only foray into the mall this year was last month when my wife's aunt and uncle that we really like, took us to the high end Japenese Hibachi located within. |

Well, yeah, but my foot's busted.
 I had this awesome idea, which I'll share with you guys in the hopes that someone takes it and runs with it: A mall, built on a circular floorplan, with a sports bar in the middle. Or maybe a Hooters. With 100's of easy chairs. Women drag their husbands in to the mall, who naturally gravitate to the center. Husbands order beer, ogle waitresses, and watch football. Women periodically check on their husbands, and ask questions like "Does this make my ass look fat? Can we afford this? Blahblahblahblahblah?" Men respond with "Mrph...yeah, sure, whatever" and get back to ogling waitresses and/or watching football. It'll make millions!

I only enjoy the mall when we do fire prevention weekend there. We scored the spot in front Victoria's Secret back when I was Chief. Although we were reprimanded for following the customers around in the store with our remote control talking fire hydrant.

I'm not sure the air is too healthy in malls. Lots of new products out gassing, and many other products have some type of preservative in them to keep animals at bay while in storage.
Are you chemically sensitive ? |

There is one local mall that has parking in a certain parking lot that is is a goofy location so the folks that have to park next to the door stay away. I can park in an area where the door ding chances are very low. I can get in the door of the store that sells the jeans I prefer. It is 29 steps inside that store to the jeans. I can try them on because two different pair of the same size are often different. I can be out of there in 10 minutes.
All other clothes are purchased on line. There is no other need to go to the mall.

I'll take a nice uncrowded mall any day over Walmart on Saturdays.

I remember once seeing the cops directing traffic into the Wegman's parking lot by my house in VA. They said it was a 30 min. wait to get in and this was the Wed. before Thanksgiving. After that I started doing all my holiday grocery shopping after 11pm a few days before the big day. It's pretty nice then.

My wife did all of her Christmas shopping online last year. For a woman that likes to shop, that is a real commentary on how crazy the stores get between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Went to the mall with my wife a couple of months ago. While she was in the department store trying thousands of items that all look the same, I decided to do a couple of laps of the mall. Turns out there's a Lamborghini dealership inside the mall! I phoned the wife and told her to call when she was ready to leave, but not to rush.
