Every mall I frequent has a cheap jewelry kiosk manned by 25-30 year old Middle Eastern men. I've paid close attention to them at the mall I shop in most often - I have yet to see them make one sale.
Don't confuse sikhs with muslims. Sikhs loathe muslims, and are our friends. Next best buddy in a problem than a Gherka.
Just reading your post will remind me to be careful of malls at Christmastime. They almost always have some new construction going on, and are crammed with families during the holidays. I think I'll do most of my Christmas shopping on line this year.
