Escalators that are full of people and the stairs are empty. / myLot

I went to the mall these past few days because I'm looking for something useful that I can use at home. I've been upstairs and downstairs because my girlfriend wants to shop and she keeps on going somewhere else. As a boyfriend, I can't do anything just to follow her. There are stairs and there's an escalator. I've noticed that no one is walking through the stairs and they keep on falling in line with the escalators. I told my girlfriend to use stairs to make it faster and only a few followed us and used the stairs. Are we very lazy not to use stairs?

Indeed. Using stairs in the first few floors is better to save time especially when we're in a rush

Obviously it is more convenient to just ride elevators or escalators since you do not need to make an effort to go up or down. While the stairs would mean to make an effort to get up or down.

@tech40 Many are just too used to getting on an escalator that they do not see stairs as an alternative.

Obviously that is the answer. However, there's a long line for the escalator and no one is in the stairs

I use stairs most of the time. I have stairs in my home too, because our home is on three levels, so I have the habit.

I'm also using stairs most of the time because I'm using stairs in a 5th floor unit

at first I get cramps but after few days I feel better and it's good to exercise our muscles and bones

If Im not in a hurry then Im also okay to wait on that line to use the escalator. But if I am and I just need to go to the next floor then I wont mind using the stairs.

Indeed. I'm also doing the same thing. I'll just enjoy the fresh cold air inside the mall if I'm not in hurry haha! It's just sad to see that there's a long line for escalator even though the stairs are empty.
