LOL, Maybe I am missing something. Weren't you there to shop and got hungry too?? And most of the people at malls are doing the same thing. Those who find it as a night out are there for movies, or are teens. Not many places teens can go. The shopping. Many people have money to burn and enjoy it. The mall has shops you won't find elsewhere. Where else can you find a good book, the perfect pair of heels, great fitting jeans, and a corn dog and lemonade? I think I agree with Ryan. You have just been out of the loop awhile. You may eventually enjoy it, you are fresh at getting out now. I admit I am still trying to suck up and get through grocery shopping myself.
