The opening for this piece is something else. "Adrienne Whyte used to go to the mall twice a week, where she might meet up with her personal shoppers at Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue or scour Macy’s for bedding and kitchenware."

Twice a week? Is this common for people? Even when online shopping wasn't a thing I don't think I was at a mall once a week.

I vaguely feel like 5% of people now make so much money they don't shop at the mall, they shop at boutique stores with higher prices and more personalized service. 95% people have so little money they can't afford shopping anymore.
Some people really liked the mall.

I especially enjoyed our trips to the regional upscale mall as a kid.
