Many different stores have what I need and a food court as well.

They still have malls? The retail concept moved beyond that enclosed space model decades ago.

Too crowded with people; and they all seem to be in a big hurry.

Maybe once a year if it can't be avoided

Never since the pandemic started and I can't see myself going back. I can order 90% of what I need. And I just don't see that as a social activity anymore

Can usually get whatever I need on a day-to-day basis at a big box store or online. Only go to the mall if looking for something special.

All the anchor stores left, so now the mall is a gathering place for gangs and pedophiles. Besides, the mall stores never had what I needed before they went to heck in a handbasket.

It just isn't what it used to be, especially with Sears, KB Toys and other favorite stores gone

Sears has died... I went for the tools and sporting goods. They got rid of the sporting goods, and then the tools went down hill. Now there is no more Sears to go to.

I'd have to drive too far to get to the nearest mall. To much hassle and I prefer to shop local merchants.

I online shop for everything. Food, toiletries, cleaning supplies, pet supplies, clothes, literally everything. I feel it helps me stay on budget and prevents impulse buying.

I'm disabled and the mall is too crowded. Also, the local shipping centers and shops are right around the corner; The mall is a few miles away.
