Zoomers will never understand this

What? They are at the mall all the time.

>>712614405 (OP)
Lets be honest, most millennials didn’t hang out at the mall either. That was more a gen x thing.

>>712614405 (OP)
I haven't had sbarros in years

Aw man, I want pizza. Pizza at a mall is so nostalgic to me. I used to go to malls all the time back in the day and there was a corner store called Tony's Pizza, it had awesome big slices. Also another place called Antonio's, it was good but super greasy.

>>712614405 (OP)
Nah it was all about the random chinese place

>Lets be honest, most millennials didn’t hang out at the mall either
speak for yourself dude, we went to the mall constantly until our older friends rented a house

>>712614405 (OP)
I only ever ate at the food court one time. I forgot what it even was.

>>712614593
>Eyyy I'm walking 'ere!

>>712614405 (OP)
what? the rule is if you are already at the mall you get chick fil a

>>712614740

hehe Yag Sbarro

Mall pizza was such a treat when your only other references are national chain delivery and frozen.

>>712614405 (OP)
>jaggg sbarrow :DDDD

>>712614874
then you get the random chinaman food like tempora

>>712614560
millenial here, you aren't being honest
we went to the mall like once a week just to hang out

>>712614405 (OP)
Sbarro used to be so good when I was younger
I tried them out again last year
A slice was like $8 and it was mediocre
Pretty much all fast-food chains have nosedived in quality and prices have skyrocketed

>>712615070
>random chinese
mine ALWAYS had a little asian woman handing out free samples of some meat on a wooden stick. always walked by her to get my free sample before getting my real food :3

You're right, that headline makes no sense and I can't believe someone got paid to write out that shit

>>712615148
Thanks, you too!

>>712614405 (OP)
Their pizza was expensive slop. But good slop ngl

gamestop wasn't really a destination back then, it's just where poor kids went to trade in their old games

>>712615157
It's from a satire website

>So starved for attention that shit makes you blush
Shiiiet

>Check Gamestop for used games
>Check the retro game store
>Check the chinese/anime crap store
>Check the music store
>Don't buy anything
>Hang out in the food court and buy a slice
Simpler times...

Didn't really go in high school. did go somewhat regularly when I was a senior in high school and college because car

>>712614492
Sbarro definitely doesn’t taste the same anymore. Think it’s one of those cases of lesser ingredients being used like every other fast food place does now

>>712615287
Have a kissu!

>>712615107
Was born in 91 and never went. Did so at 17 and fingered a tiny black chick with pin straight hair. She had a tampon in but said nothing. Oh well.

>>712614593
The pizza place at my mall now is pretty good, they also do calzones and canolis.

>>712615383
I don't think any fast food has fallen off harder than burger king

for me its gyro wrap but a sbarro is fine too.

>>712614405 (OP)
>Americans consume sborra
mamma mia

>>712615346
Are you old enough to have us a suncoast video or FYE or w.e with degenerate hentai dvds?

>>712614405 (OP)
Is Sbarro still around? I feel like I haven't seen one in over a decade. I moved to a different state, and the "closest" mall to me doesn't have one.

>>712615449
Jack in the box has gotten pretty bad too. I used to eat their chicken strips and within the last 5 years it started tasting like chemically flavored cardboard and the breading tastes like absolute shit with a weird aftertaste. My little brother works there for a summer job before school starts and said they mandated that nobody can clean the fryers anymore, so instead of dumping the oil like before, they put in some powdered cleaner and just keep reusing the same oil to cut spending.

>>712615532
yep. 6.50/slice these days, very sad.

>>712615571
Thats absolutely disgusting anon

>>712615480
sborro is literally the
>well fuck I'm already here and I'm hungry, it's this or waiting 10 mins in the panda express line
pizza. Like if it wasn't at the mall or airport no one would seek it out

>>712615116
It's a shame fast food gets by on Cheap and Quick in theory with quality being subpar but depending on preference and location still good. There's days though it's not even really cheap and due to the popularity and high turnover rate for employees meaning constant training, not all that quick. They're using ai and a bunch of mobile and screen stuff to aid Quick but it's not exactly reliable.

>>712615526
Yeah, had an FYE, don't remember if they had hentai or even anime in mine though, besides posters and shirts of course

>>712615679
Wow, not even worth it at that price.

>>712614938

>>712615693
Sborra also means cum in Italian

>>712614405 (OP)
Excuse me, mr gamestop. I will have you know that I am an expert at reading and I noticed your sign stated that I could buy two free, get one free.

>>712615571
That is vile. The place I used to work at cleaned the fryer twice a week, and when they cleaned it they threw out the oil(beef tallow after they switched from oil)and put fresh stuff in the next day.

i get vietnamese sandwiches at the mall these days whenever i have to go. a bit pricey but super tasty and healthy for the value compared to subway

>>712614938
heh

Anthropological observation. During school trips, after were done with trip, and we went to a mall food court, arrogant middle class kids who tried to appear richer and wealthier than they were always went to have lunch at Sbarro, while the rich kids went to Panda Express and usually shared their food with those who were too poor to afford it.

>>712614560
you're a zoomer. a millennial wouldn't say this. we absolutely 100% hung out at the mall.

>>712614560
>a gen x thing
Our lives were the mall. It was our 3rd space. And it was all affordable and awesome.

$20 allowance:
>$5 movie ticket for Jurassic Park
>$3 popcorn + soda
>$5 new issue of EGM from Electronics Boutique
>$5 at the arcade, ~2-3 hours of playtime
>$2 slice of Sbarro

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).

>>712616714
I would go to the mall's Taco Bell and get a chalupa meal for under $6. Now it's like $16 for the same meal
Always stopped at Spencer's Gifts too, even though I never bought shit from there

>>712616830
Our local Spencer sold sex toys, so they didn't allowed kids on the store, but they always took like 5 minutes to tell kids to fuck off, which was more than enough to browse the store

>>712616714
That's peak 90s and early 00s. I kind of miss mall culture, but with the current economy and ride of the internet, there's just no point anymore.

>>712614492
cute!

>>712614405 (OP)
Jag Sbarro

their strombolis were delicious, too bad they went out of business where I live

I'm sorry, are people now bragging about hanging out at malls as if it's some big cultural succes? What in the actual fuck is wrong with you niggers, holy shit I dread the day millenials start running the world.

>>712617148
The problem with malls isn't the economy, people buy more crap nowadays than ever before, and the internet doesn't really substitute in-person browsing (For now, I think VR shopping could be cool) for things outside of certain utilities. The problem with malls is the same as with movie theaters, people do not want to drive anymore, and lots of people live in suburbs. Shopping malls that are placed next to where people actually live within walking distance, or less than 10 minutes away driving, or next to train station are still doing well.

>>712617317
malls were symbolic of the life-blood of your local area.
A very foreign concept to zoomers perpetually in hyper-realiy robloxcord, i know.

>>712617524
People buy CHEAP shit from Walmart, Amazon, and temu, yes. People do not buy luxuries much anymore and that's the main stuff inside small stores of malls these days.

Also I disagree. There's plenty of malls around commercial and residential areas that are struggling. If anything it's the bigger mega malls where I live that thrive.

>>712615571
That can't be legal. The oil accumlates waste. There's no substance on earth they can dump into it that would get rid of all of it and restore the oil to a usable/healthy state.

>>712614938
First thing that came to my mind too

>>712615693
I think mall food was legit better before "food courts" existed. When they were just scattered around the mall randomly, they had to be decent to drag in foot traffic, since a big part of that was having an appealing looking - and smelling - product going.
Food courts just allow everyone to be lazy shits, since if you're going there, you're not in that part of the mall for any other reason than to eat something(or pick fights I guess)

>>712614405 (OP)
do white people even go to the mall any more?

>>712615571
I think you probably misunderstood. Using the same oil for deep frying is a health violation and would be illegal. Your brother is more likely referring to cleaning the flat tops or grills. Traditionally you would use oil and a "grill brick" but nowadays it's more common to use chemicals in a bottle.

>tfw just missed the prime widow of being a teen loser lurking at the mall lucking into some prime loserchick mall ass and getting some shitty but temporarily fulfilling job at the game stop because the manager has a conversation with me
>tfw nobody will ever have that again because malls are a sloppy zombie made of Christmas sales, apple products, and an unreasonable amount of funko pops
Horrendous. At least there's a cool large one I can go to, has a weebshit store with a customer cosplays photoboard on display up front. Only thing in the place with soul.
