This happened a few years ago but the memory is still fresh…
First, I’m a guy, I dislike malls and shopping in general but, sometimes you just have to go there and inevitably you have to plod through a chain department store. Now, you won’t catch me within a mile of any mall in America from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Covid or not, no way! If I do go it’s during those dead times when you can sail through a store and not see a person of interest at all. But, being a guy I’m not dumb either, I like to sometimes “wander” through a store when the influx of moms occurs – after yoga and spin classes, before tennis lessons! I’ve had some success on those recon missions, but this is about something different.
