There aren’t any malls very close to us, so it’s not terribly convenient just to get there. Then there’s parking, trudging from store to store, trying to find a salesperson and people who don’t seem to know what is going on around them.
I’m happy just to shop online. It’s fast, easy and I can drink hot coffee the entire time.
The biggest obstacle for malls is that no store has enough shelf space for EVERYTHING, so after striking out a couple of times even the thickest person (like me) will gravitate to online shopping.
