i usually go to where i need to go, which is usually the supermarket to buy groceries.
but i know some people have mall habits, like visiting their favorite botique first, or withdrawing money from the ATM, or simply fixing themselves in the restroom before anything else.
What is your mall habit?

Usually, when I go malls at our place, I'd particularly be going there to buy something that I have always been planning for a long time.
If I went to the mall with no particular reason, I might be just be browsing around the techie side of the mall to see what new things I might get interested in.
If I have a few more moments to spare, I'd go to the arcade to view some games and watch others play the latest video fighting series. I also enjoy shoot'em ups as well as musical arcade playing.
In case that I get hungry, I don't go to stalls to purchase things to eat, I'd go to the supermarket and there buy myself a bottle of what I would fancy and some snacks too.
That seems to be my habit. I never go to the cinemas to watch for the latest films. I use to do that when I was still going through college when my classmates would suggest and we'd all agree on a particular film. I miss those days.
If I made those typical things I do in malls as a routine, and still have more time to spare, I'd probably be roaming for a while. Strolling through the floors and if there's a vacant bench, I'd sit a moment and sometimes, I'd pull out a notepad and pencil from my bag and start drawing something that interests me.

I really don't mind people when they are around and when I draw. I use to get bothered before but, after seeing others who draw pretty well get more recognition when they draw in public compared to what I do, I felt more confident to draw anywhere since, I enjoy drawing.

i am not into the drawing in the mall stuff. i think when i am doing that i can feel like all of the people in the mall are looking at me, wondering what i am doing, what i am drawing. it distracts me and my drawing. most of the time, i only draw when i am alone.

i do not go to malls just to look around. if i walk in to a mall, it means that i want to go somewhere. most of the times, i go to a mall to eat. so i go directly to the restaurant or food chain. if i do not know where the restaurant or food chain is located, i look for it first. if i want to buy some groceries, i go directly to the supermarket. i also go to the mall if i want to watch some movies so i go straight to the movie house. the only time that go to a mall without knowing where to go first is when i am with my girlfriend. coz usually, she just wants to look around, drop by every boutique, & check outfits or look for something she wants to buy. you know how some of the girls do when they want to go shopping. ;)

yes, i know what you are talking about. girls just spend a lot longer time shopping than guys do. they will not be satisfied with only one botique when looking for something. they say they are always looking for a quality buy so they have to check out 3-5 stores before they are able to choose what they want.
sometimes its tiring for me when i accompany my girlfriend to the mall. but i am happy because she had chosen me to be with her.

Well since the nearest mall to us is about 40 mins away we only go when we need to go to a specific store/stores so thats where we go first...

I go to where I intended to go. I conduct my business and than leave. I have never been one to just walk around and go into stores unless I have something to get there.

Well it depends. Usually it's to the arcade
. I love video games and well my boyfriend is delighted at that fact. Sometimes we go to the mall just to go to the arcade and leave without looking at any other stores.

i would always want to play video games in the arcade. however, im concious of the money that i have to pay. i have the tendency to be an addict to video games and i can't afford to be addicted to the arcade. so i just play video games in the internet. at least i have free internet in our office.
oops! please don't tell my boss.

Usually whenever me and my fiance go to the mall,we almost always visit the food court first,and after that we usually just walk around but every time we go we usually visit stores like Spencers,Hot Topic,Gamestop,and other stores depending on why we went to the mall,even though we do not go to the mall a lot,since the mall is in another county,which is full of people and traffic.

I usually go to my favorite stores first. I will stay there for half an hour to try their new clothes and all. I actually have lots of favorite stores, so it usually take me more than five hours in the mall. Sometimes, it not even enough. It's because I love taking my time, to relax. I also love going to the coffee shop and stay there for more than an hour.
