I went to the mall last night to eat at one of my favorite places, noticed the parking lot wasn't even half as full as it usually is, but besides that, I'd have been lucky to tell you that 1 quarter of the people walking in their were walking out with a bag of some sort, and even than it was usually one bag...
*Granted it was raining, but the main point is that the shoppers within the mall were simply not purchasing items!!!
