Yes in FL and it closed 5 years ago. The DeSoto Square Mall in Bradenton. I left in 2020, but it officially closed a year later.

No, but security did kick out a guy many years ago for blowing a another guy in the men's bathroom.

Yes at first when I started working there in 2001 and the years that followed it was mostly white trash stealing and also kids and teens, but then in 2009 and in 2010 that changed and we started getting more and more niggers stealing this included black "youths and teens".

It offically closed in April 2021. I left the year before.

I worked at k-mart for a year or so and man, the amount of people who would just get away with stealing stuff was crazy. I honestly didn't give a fuck since I was just 19sh at the time.

Back then the police and even mall security would get tough and not give a fuck about getting tough with criminals. It drastically changed when camera phones came out and then police and even mall cops started to be more cautious to not get sued or bring a lawsuit against the mall. 2020 just laid the nail in the coffin and also on top of that the mall had been dying for the past 5 years before it shut down completely.

yeah covid pretty much made me get a working-from-home type of job. malls were great, though. good memories of just hanging out doing absolutely nothing because it was too hot outside.

The moment people buying shit on the internet more than going to the mall is when I had feeling it was going to die out. We had a fye music store that closed in 2006 and that was because people were downloading music thorough Kazaa and that other site napster.

Internet is the excuse apologists always give but the mall was more than just consumerism, it was a social activity. Anyone who is old enough to have actually seen malls die know its always attributable to an influx of "urban youth"

There were niggers that caused problems yes. But who the fuck was going to go to music stores when you could just download the songs you wanted, even before the nigger problems hardly anyone was buying music and that's not avoiding or ignoring niggers and their problems that's just knowing that you could save money buy getting something from the comfort of your home rather then getting up going in your car and driving there dealing with traffic and stress.

No never stolen and never let anyone get away with any crime. Cameras were everywhere and even if I did I would get caught.

That's one brand of one type of store. You go to the mall to hang out with friends, try on cloths together, visit the food court, meet people. No one wants to do that if obnoxious niggers are there obviously getting away with stealing (because yes, security isn't allowed to do anything) and committing random acts of violence. Yes internet is a factor, but not the big factor that you want to claim. Its niggers plain and simple.

It wasn't bad. My first few years I worked a late shift 1:00 to 9:30 then 1:30 to 10:00 and finally the day shift which was 8:00 to 4:30. Did I have bad days yes, but not to the point where I hated it. If it got that bad then the simple thing to do was to leave. Worst call of all time was when a guy got caught trying to meet some teen to fuck. It was a sting right in front of the mall that was back in 2008. Besides that it was just stealing, customer complaints that were turning violent, kids and teens trespassing after hours and that happened most of the time during Fridays or the weekends.
