Ran out of cash? Listen to music at Tower Records. Browse Suncoast Video. Pretend to be interested in the knives and swords at the weird "mall ninja"/cigar shop and the dude lets you swing them. Stand on the balcony of the 2nd floor and look down cleavage (it was the 90s, literally everyone showed cleavage).
